Hi, my dumbass snapped my 7u CRP spacebar in half. I was looking for an ABS Beige set anyways, so i wondered if the Doubleshots (7u spacebar) on the Cherry G81-1000 will fit on modern 7u Stabs. Its with Cherry MY switches that's why im wondering if normal 7u mx stabs also work with the spacebar.

AIso, I got another Vintage ABS set from a SK-8801B-2D Keyboard with MX compatible caps but the 7u Spacebar mounting points are slightly more narrow than modern 7u spacebars and won't fit on modern 7u stabs. Just wanted to point out. (Seller said something about costar stabs?) I don't know anything about the keyboard, if somebody has any information pls let me know!!

Yeah, winkeyless MY boards are fully MX compatible, all stabilised keys included.

The only ones which can have some incompatible modifiers are winkey layout G81s, and also certain Olivetti G81s which have caps made by another manufacturer.
