[Wanted] PBT Space bar for cm rapid/filco

I am looking for a black PBT space bar for my coolermaster cm storm quick fire rapid keyboard.
I do not like the big QUICKFIRE branding on the spacebar :)

if you have one for sale please send me a PM or if you know a online retailer please post a link for me.
Thanks!

Get a new set in full, its easier than finding a space bar

Recommend a Filco ninja set if you can find one, it makes my CM Storm look beautiful

Or if you decide you dont mind ABS all that much maybe this could fit? http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/ ... eycap.html

FYI I live in USA but have no problem paying international shipping if required.

If I do not mind abs then I could also buy this...

but I already ordered a 37 key set from qtan and wanted to replace as much as possible with PBT dye sub keys.
If I could find a good for set of white on black PBT dye subs then I would just buy a full set with the space bar.

I would go for a full PBT set if you have the cash. Around $50 + shipping.
The CM keycaps are fugly.

If you just want a space bar, I would look for an ABS one. PBT space bars are a little bendy.

.GH is filled with noobs and unhelpful moderators these days. Plus I think I answered your question at OCN or somewhere...

Why not just burn off the branding with some acetone? I thought CM keys were ABS, but if not then acetone should do the trick. Otherwise just sand it off and polish if you want it shiny again.

I do see the spacebar question, but that thread is mostly about o-rings, brother ripster.

I may try a glass particulate sandblast this summer.

The issue is removing paint without removing texture. Not easy with plastic.

Can you post here and ask iMav why he doesn't have a edit tab in his wikis?

Hey, I just tried to edit my own Reviews and Modifications to update them and I don't have a tab!

You try it - go to the Reviews and Mods subforums - simply sort Reviews and Modifications by page views and mine float to the top.

I'm thinking of creating a Geekhack Spy Club. I'm gonna call y'all the Baker Street Irregulars.

Anyway confine all future posts on this subject to the offtopic post here because I know iMav reads that one and it is half the fun.
