Honestly, can’t expect people to include keys like that in base kits if they serve a very small part of the community.

Yep,
a lot has changed during the last years, but i like it a lot to MacGyver every other day.
Problems do exist to get solved and not to give up.

I don’t know what you’re talking about but I keep finding Novatouches for $50 or so =))) bought 2 within the last year at that price :pppppppppppp
tbf I’m in Vietnam and not many people use Topre, let alone mod it.
looks like you need to scoop up a handful and reap the rewards on r/mechmarket
I’ll take one, please 
haha not yet my friend, maybe when I found 5 of them. right now I have 1 in the Norbaforce and 1 in the Norbatouch 
Here is my MX-swapped FC660c 45g low noise I recently posted in this other keebtalk thread.
It makes me want to type more.

I spotted these mudflaps on a delivery truck here in Japan. I wonder what they would think if they knew about this thread.

What is this and where can I throw my wallet at it?
What’s left?
Spacebar. I have a few options coming in, but both take forever to ship.
How did you do the stabilized keys? Did you drill the slider housings or remove the extra legs on the keycaps? What did you end up doing for the spacebar?
I drilled out the housings. I didn’t want to damage the keycaps since I changes those around more often.
As far as the spacebar, I just flipped the stock spacebar so that it meets my thumbs. I am looking for a proper SA space in the meantime though. I ordered the shapeways 3D printed one. It has bad reviews, but my friend who works with resin is willing to look at it and come up with something in his spare time. Also ordered an MX SA spacebar. Tracking down a costar 6U stab for it if it matches this key set.
ah OK good luck on the rest of the process. Looks great so far.
