It looks amazing on HHKB! (Using my own Topre to MX adapters [1])

Although this set has no 6u SPC, I'm satisfied compromising a little length on the two CMD keys. However the stabilizers for SPC don't fit, I plan to 3D print a pair of custom adapters to replace the Topre stabilizers to hold the SPC in place.

rixtoxQuestion! How do you deal with the spacebar in this case again?

MeowgoI removed the two HHKB stabilizers to make room for the SPC, so it's currently floating on the endpoints. I've found a way, and is designing customized stabilizers and will 3D print them to hold the SPC in place. I believe it will be eventually worked out.

rixtoxI see. For now I'm using a regular Topre PBT Spacebar (stock). I'll have to wait for this design to be readily available then! Thank you.

rixtoxIs it possible you make some more for sell/giving away? Want it if it works out.

hhkbp2I don't know if I want to make them for sale, but I will definitely open-source it once I've done it. Those 1u and 2.25u MX adapters are already open-sourced, together with a 6u Topre spacebar model.
rixtoxLet me know once you get it done, I have a HHKB and was looking for some alternative that could fix the 6U spacebar issue with SA keycaps.

rixtoxQuestion! Where did you get a 6u space bar?

cong314159He did not get a 6u spacebar. Instead, he used a 6.25u spacebar.

hhkbp2But the 6.25 space bar doesn't fit.

cong314159He used 6.25u spacebar and two 1.25u modifier keycaps. The spacebar housing is removed so that the stems of the 6.25u spacebar could fall into the housing holes. Check the link above to see the pictures of the back side of the front plane, if you're interested.

rixtoxLet us know how it turns out! When installing your Topre to MX adaptors on your HHKB, did you run into any problem with stabilizers on the non alpha keys (left shift key)? Also, do you find the 6.25 spacebar usable without the stabilizers or does it leave something to be desired (I'm guessing yes since you've got through the trouble of custom 3D printing)?
rixtoxFantastic news, keep us up to date with you progress!

rixtoxYou're the best! What all needs to be purchased in order to get the 6.25 spacebar to fit? Both housings and plungers?

rixtoxAwesome! Ok so I purchased the alphas and modifiers for Chocolatier (everything to fit a tenkeyless), and I'm wondering if I have the right keys to fit all of the keys on the hhkb. In your picture it looks like you're using some additional keys.
