Ain't it looking pretty?

Matt3o's Topre PBT spacebars
Although the Realforce and HHKB are excellent keyboards, one feature that has always been lacking is the prone-to-shine ABS Spacebar. Thanks to matt3o we got the first ever standard 6-unit Topre spacebar in PBT material, in different colours.

Round 5
7bit's most monumental keycap project, it took several years to get here, and boy was our patience rewarded! Where were you when Signature Plastics shipped?

Definitely. No vote for "sorry, ANSI only" this year! 10 language and alternative layouts! 7 different space bar lengths in four colors! That's what everyone's up against this year.

In reality, this is doubleshots (63%) vs. dye subs (36%).

Both are awesome , i just prefer dye sub for light coloured keys and as always PBT > ABS
