Okay, I noticed something odd on my Varmilo: the space bar stabilizers don't have standard spacing:
search
The inner stems on the Varmilo original space bar do not align with any of the stems on more standard space bars. The outer stems do, though (but are not the ones used by the Cherry stabilizers on the board).
Other space bars (like Signature Plastic or GMK ABS space bars) do not fit on the Cherry stabilizers.
I managed to fix my issue by removing the Cherry stab and replacing them by Costar stabs (which are prefer) (I put them on the outer empty holes), but that's a bit odd.
Did anybody else notice the same thing on theirs?
Made a thread on GeekHack about it if anyone is interested (hope it's okay to post the link here): https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=72956.0
LunarBearIf this comes to be the case, I'm going to be furious, and I'll end up selling mine rather quickly.
I don't have the time, patience and materials to go and modify my keyboard before I use my PuLSE set on it...
Hopefully it is something they revise before manufacturing these. That's a bad move, in my opinion. Especially without informing anyone.
LunarBearI was reading about this on the DSA Dolch keycap drop page. Someone showed their Varmilo's spacebar having cherry stabilizers instead of costar, so their DSA Dolch spacebar wouldn't fit onto their VA87M (which ironically is the keyboard used to advertise DSA Dolch). This keyboard is my dream keyboard, but not with the cherry stabilizers. I don't want to have to mod my keyboard or add stems to my keycaps just so they will fit properly. Can we get Massdrop to find out what kind of stabilizers we will be getting?
Edit: This user on Reddit posted a few days ago that their VA87MR came from Massdrop and it appears that it has a visible costar stabilizer wire under the spacebar. Is it just random what stabilizer we will get?
suclearnubHey, sorry for the confusion. I just tested it myself and it was N-key rollover on Mac. Command key still doesn't work as stated earlier, but not sure where the 6-key spec came from.
