Hi,
I own the hhkb pro 2, and i have the pbt spacebars from the massdrop groupbuy. the problem is that the spacebar makes a plastic on plastic sound when pressed. I think the tiny round landing pads are not enough so maybe I can replace them.
Does anyone have experience with custom landing pads for the hhkb? which materials? where to buy?
Thank you.

I don't know about the hhkb in particular but if it's the bottom out noise that bothers you a thin foam pad at the bottom is supposed to help reduce the sound, since the caps aren't hitting plastic at the bottom.

It shouldn't be too noisy. Have you lost your space bar spring?
If the spring is there, perhaps swapping it to a heavier spring? A HHKB replacement spring is at around 80g to bottom out.
