Topre PBT Spacebars

[imbattable]

This ripster guy seems to be pretty desperate for attention. Who is that? I have heard the name before but he apparently is only active reddit but used to be active here and on GH.

Excuse me for trying to engage in conversation, I will go back to lurking.

Placed my order for one of each, I just couldn' miss this one.

[Muirium]

When does this close? (No link in the OP makes it hard for noobs and commuters!)

[matt3o]

7 days left

(and 5 days for SA Retro )

[Muirium]

Thanks. I know I can afford this one. SA Retro, well, I'm not sure if I even know how to not ORDER EVERYTHING!!!111!!! which poses something of a problem.

Payday is tomorrow and then I'll be getting both!

[Spikebolt]

Payday best day

[Spikebolt]

So what was the total number of spacebars purchased?

[matt3o]

about 3000 spacebars let's see how many orders end up unpaid

[chzel]

Does that happen with Massdrop? Unpaid orders I mean...

[002]

Well I was automagically charged, so I can't imagine there will be too many people bailing out unless they dispute the PayPal payment or something?

[matt3o]

they usually end up with a 10% unpaid orders

[002]

Pet peeve of mine...people who board the hype train but fail to shell out for a ticket for the real thing.

[matt3o]

the cost is relatively low this time, I hope the unpaid orders will be less than that

That would be me and so many caps GBs! But this time I climbed on for sure. MX can wait. I've more than enough of that.

I just got a tracking number from Massdrop, I should have these next week. Good luck to anyone else waiting on a tracking number.

[klikkyklik]

As did I. Tracking number not yet registered with USPS, but hopefully that'll show up soon.

[Hypersphere]

Got my tracking number yesterday!

I love when a plan comes together

[Cafeine]

Awww I can't wait. I really destroyed (well OKAY I DENTED IT) one on my FC660C and I need to change it asap. :P

[ramnes]

The color matching really looks perfect, good job Matt3o!

[Muirium]

Shoes on desk or reversed spacebars: which is the greater crime?

Shoes on the desk is worse...

[zslane]

Oh, I dunno...I think neglecting the cream/grey needs of Hi-Pro users ranks higher than shoes or spacebar orientation.

[Muirium]

Am I right in thinking HiPro spacebars are a different shape compared to regular Realforce / HHKB / FC660C / Type Heaven spacebars?

And am I even right including the Type Heaven in that list?

[zslane]

Not having any of those other keyboards to compare with, I couldn't tell you. But I can tell you that the HiPro spacebar has a very definite orientation just like the ones I see above. And it sits between flat R3 modifiers, so we know it isn't that tall.

[Muirium]

Yup. That's why I ask. It's not obviously different, so I really don't know. And my question is equally non obviously redundant!

We'll need to hear from somebody with both boards. Or a HiPro user who's popped on one of Matteo's spacebars.

[zslane]

Well, here are the profile dimensions of the HiPro spacebar:

If anyone can similarly measure the profile dimensions of a conventional RealForce spacebar (or already has those dimensions handy), please post them and we can compare.
