I participated in this drop during its original run in 2015. The ones I got are pretty bad—they don't fit onto the keyboard the same way as the ABS spacebar, causing them to sit higher on the board than normal and creating a mushier keypress. There's no audible "click" as the stabilizers clip into the side holes. Really disappointing. Has the quality of the fit improved over the years?

Just FYI, for everyone who have requested the drop to be opened again (including me), I found this website selling the same product with a pretty fare price: https://kbdfans.cn/collections/electrostatic-capacitive-keycaps/products/topre-pbt-6u-spacebar. Check it out :)

Some people got crap quality, but mine came in fine shape. They have some rough bits on the sides that can be easily filed away. These PBT bars weigh about 6.7 grams compared to 5.65g for the original ABS ones. They have a pleasant extra-fine sandpaper texture on top. The widths all around are comparable to the ABS bars, about 0.45 - 0.52mm at various points - my 2 bars are not warped at all and have no staining on them. The fibers of the PBT can be seen in magnification. They both fit onto my board stems without problems, clean click on they are securely on. For the price these are good enough dudes. You guys are being overly autistic complaining about them.

Well, these were a waste of money. Quality is trash, big blemish on both bars right in the center. Guess I'll be sticking with the ABS bar on my 87U.

I just got these and noticed that they make a louder harsher clacking sound on downstroke then my original HHKB space bar, which exhibits a much softer sound. Anyone else experience this and is there anything to reduce the clack? They look pretty identical so nothing physically obvious to cause it.

Just heated it a bit with a blow dryer and straightened it completely and then pushed real hard. Sounds ok now. Still not as perfect as I’d like but it’ll do for now lol

Did anyone recently get their bars from this drop? I got both a red and a dark gray and there’s an ugly blemish on both of them making me think something went wrong while they were being made.

Yes, it's not good. To be honest, I won't use either of them. The reason we came to Massdrop specifically for these spacebars is because we're extra particular about the quality of our keys. The fact that we both received crap is pretty pathetic if you ask me. I'm going to make a post on Reddit as well to keep people away from this drop.
