I'm building a PCB mounted keyboard to save a bit of money on getting a case. I have 6 Cherry MX PCB stabilizers which all have a 1 gap space between them. I have just ordered a set of g20 keycaps 60% from SignaturePlastics and these are the 'different' keys:
7 – 1.25x Keys
2 – 1.5x Keys
1 – 1.75x Key
1 – 2x Key
2 – 2.25x Keys
1 – 2.75x Key
1 - 6.2x Space Key
Question 1: Will I need to buy different types of stabilizers for the different keys?
Question 2: For the spacebar the stabilizer I have is too big so I'm going to heat and bend the bar to the right length. Does anyone happen to know the distance between the 2 bends in the bar? Every time I purchase something it adds up the shipping cost really quickly so I really don't want to buy just 2 or 3 stabilizers.
Oh and also since I know Matt3o browses the workshop a lot. Congrats on finishing your project, I was looking at Brown Fox as an inspiration to build my first hand wired keyboard over a year ago. Thank you.
A question about stabilizer sizes.

Thank you. Oh and just to clarify, will I need different stabilizers for the 2, 2.25 and 2.75 or will they all require the same length?
