Thanks. I know I can afford this one. SA Retro, well, I'm not sure if I even know how to not ORDER EVERYTHING!!!111!!! which poses something of a problem.

So what was the total number of spacebars purchased?
Posted: 05 Jun 2015, 10:31
by matt3o
about 3000 spacebars let's see how many orders end up unpaid

Does that happen with Massdrop? Unpaid orders I mean...

Well I was automagically charged, so I can't imagine there will be too many people bailing out unless they dispute the PayPal payment or something?
Posted: 05 Jun 2015, 10:45
by matt3o
they usually end up with a 10% unpaid orders

Pet peeve of mine...people who board the hype train but fail to shell out for a ticket for the real thing.

by matt3o
the cost is relatively low this time, I hope the unpaid orders will be less than that

That would be me and so many caps GBs! But this time I climbed on for sure. MX can wait. I've more than enough of that.

I just got a tracking number from Massdrop, I should have these next week. Good luck to anyone else waiting on a tracking number.

As did I. Tracking number not yet registered with USPS, but hopefully that'll show up soon.

Shoes on desk or reversed spacebars: which is the greater crime?

Shoes on the desk is worse...

Oh, I dunno...I think neglecting the cream/grey needs of Hi-Pro users ranks higher than shoes or spacebar orientation.

Posted: 26 Sep 2015, 19:34
by Muirium
Am I right in thinking HiPro spacebars are a different shape compared to regular Realforce / HHKB / FC660C / Type Heaven spacebars?
And am I even right including the Type Heaven in that list?
Posted: 26 Sep 2015, 19:46
by zslane
Not having any of those other keyboards to compare with, I couldn't tell you. But I can tell you that the HiPro spacebar has a very definite orientation just like the ones I see above. And it sits between flat R3 modifiers, so we know it isn't that tall.
Posted: 26 Sep 2015, 19:48
by Muirium
Yup. That's why I ask. It's not obviously different, so I really don't know. And my question is equally non obviously redundant!
We'll need to hear from somebody with both boards. Or a HiPro user who's popped on one of Matteo's spacebars.

Well, here are the profile dimensions of the HiPro spacebar:

If anyone can similarly measure the profile dimensions of a conventional RealForce spacebar (or already has those dimensions handy), please post them and we can compare.
