Know before you buy
This 10U spacebar is designed for specific custom layouts, such as the HHKB, and requires a bottom row configuration of at least 1.5u-7u-1.5u. Please verify your keyboard's bottom row spacing before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
Yes, it is designed for 7U stabilizer layouts and is compatible with standard Cherry PCB mount stabilizers. Ensure your keyboard plate and PCB support a 7U stabilizer position for the spacebar.
At 49 grams, this metal spacebar provides a significantly heavier and more solid typing experience compared to standard plastic caps. The included modded Cherry HG black switch is specifically tuned with a 150gf spring to support this extra weight and ensure a snappy return.
While the spacebar features standard MX-style stems, it is engineered to be used with the included modded Cherry HG black switch. Because of the spacebar's substantial weight, using a standard, lighter switch may result in sluggish performance or failure to return to the neutral position.
The matte satin finish is durable, but it can show fingerprints over time. You can clean it by gently wiping the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain its premium appearance.
