Actually a question about the spacebar. Is it standard spacing or does it have the stupid leopold weird spacing?

radio_killahTake a look here: http://ai.taobao.com/auction/edetail.htm?e=dyF3q%2B00tIIjmraEDZVrLgpEXcs2xrOYzqBA8MB81Q%2BLltG5xFicOcyvbMN%2FjluyDPIwxrc30rg%2Bti0P%2FwKUmzoUQOCGxjXMzGV7v%2Ffzg6YwnWQc3xbYZVFE%2BBP3Qa7QUa6whSeFsYBt2myTO7A4NmFoABXAiQo81BpJm2vGpeA%3D&ptype=100010&unid=&from=basic&clk1=e8f4a37395af11f729c718bf0bf19b5a&upsid=e8f4a37395af11f729c718bf0bf19b5a

I think it would be pretty absurd to use 6.25 spacebar with odd and different stem placement.

MakamiThose spacebars are made specifically to fit the 6.25 spacebars with different stem placements. A normal spacebar only needs three holes for stems :p "Normal" stem placement would be the center + two outer-most stems. Varmilo/Leopold uses the center + two inner-most stems. See below.
Googling around, I found out that the Varmilo does indeed use awkward stem placement: http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/2jlvf8/photos_varmilo_vb660m_wireless_overview/cld6770 http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61562.msg1485884#msg1485884
Both of those replies are for a different Varmilo keyboard, but all of the Varmilos share the same layout as far as I know.

MakamiHere is a picture of the space bar underside as well as what the stabilizer looks like.

PandaSPURRegarding the pictures Andrew made it's no problem to replace the spacebar. At least all of my keysets will fit.

MakamiOoh interesting...
Looking at that picture, theres a second set of holes in the plate (for the alternative stabilizer mounting), but it looks like they chose to go with standard spacebar sizing instead of the usual awkward stem placement. If that's the case, that is great.
@Andrew, could you actually measure the distance from the center of the spacebar switch to the center of the stabilizers?
Sounds anal, but I'm just trying to confirm since there are so many different stem placements for a 6.25 spacebar. http://deskthority.net/wiki/Space_bar_dimensions
