Is anyone else having issues with the spacebar and Durock V2 stabs? I've tried it on both my Portico and KBD67 Lite R2, and the spacebar is extremely loose on the Durock stabs, like the spacebar will just not hold onto the stab stems. I tested the stabs with my pegaso set, ePBT Cherry set, and a few other cherry profiles and this is the only spacebar that won't hold onto the stab stems.

Yes, I had the exact same issue as you. But on the same Durock set, the Backspace, Enter, and Shift Key fit perfectly. I used two previous keycaps sets on the same keyboard with the same stabs without issues, including on the spacebar. But the GMK Blue Samurai spacebar seems to have slightly larger stab stem holes. I had another set of Durock in my drawer, which I just tested, and works well. It latches on the spacebar just fine. So, my conclusion is that there are some inconsistencies in the stem sizes of the Durock V2 stabs, which sometimes are slightly too small. But at the same time, I think the spacebar that came with the Blue Samurai set has slightly larger stab holes than other spacebars.

Strange, I just installed them onto my (new) Durock v2 stabs, and they are on them without issue. It's a little too tight

Also I ordered a new spacebar set thinking that maybe the one from the full set I have may have just worn out from switching sets, but the new spacebar still doesn't hold onto the stab stems!

PezmergaJust a quick update - I was able to get the spacebar to hold onto the stems but cutting small strips of gaffers tape and putting it in the stem holes of the spacebar. It's a little disappointing that for some reason, the 6.25u spacebar just won't hold onto durock stabs, but this has gotten it to work without any impact on feel or sound. Also as a note, I tried out the longer 7u spacebar on my Tokyo60 HHKB with both C3 equalz and Durock stabs and it seems to work fine.

PezmergaI'm having this issue with my Durock V2 stab on the spacebar. I assume the stems are smaller than the actual inserts.
