I have troubles finding some nice MX keycap sets including 2.25u and 2.75u space bar. I prefer dye subbed PBT caps, no flashy colors and somewhat retro looking fonts e.g. Dolch DSA, ideally for 30-60euros.
Do you have any suggestions? This is the layout I have currently planned:

I'm looking for split spacebar keycaps. I've been wanting to add split spacebars to my dz60 pcb but I don't have any keycaps for this. I'm hoping to find a kit that has multiple sizes spacebars, i'm not too picky on the size of them as long as it fills out the space of my current 6.25 spacebar. I'm not too worried about price, and i'd also like them soon.
My plan was to split the spacebar when I got my Serika keycaps from Drop in February but I don't want to wait that long to start enjoying split spacebars. I'm open to other solutions but I'd like to keep my board feeling and looking good.
Build:
-
dz60 pcb and aluminum plate
-
Tofu case
-
Zilent switches (62g, 65g)

KPrepublic also has god xda retro keycaps set with space bars kit
Hey all, just got a KBD75 R6 with a split spacebar option.
The keycap sizes for that are 2.25 1.25 2.75. I've been looking at the EnjoyPBT Korean Red keycap set but I'm wondering how to get appropriate spacebars/keys to go with the board.
Any suggestions?
Any recommendations for keycap sets that are split spacebar compatible? Looking to get new caps for my Dygma Raise I am planning on getting
I recently bought some parts for my custom keyboard and they work great, but my gk61x came with a replacement for the spacebar plate so you could use a split spacebar. I want to do this but my keycap set didnt come with one and im not sure where to buy one, if anyone could lead me in their direction or tell me what they are called to find them easier that would be great.

i'd try pimpmykeyboard and mechmarket first.
mech board market is pretty decentralized. there's lots of little online stores, and you can also buy stuff second hand. people rarely use 100% of their keycap sets so you could probably get individual keys from people.
Building a black kdb67v2 mkii but I can't find any good keycap sets. I've only found one split spacebar set on kbdfans.com. I'm not sure where else to look (first build)

you could get a gmk spacebars kit
Is there a place where I can order keycaps for split keyboard layout? I'm looking to build my first split, so considering Lily58 and Sofle kits.
I am not able to find any good keycap set for split keyboards, where I do not need to throw away half of caps from the set. It is mostly not a price wise but environmental concerns.
For context: I'm in EU so preferable something around.
Hey there so I got a new keyboard recently and it comes with a split space bar module in the box so that got me thinking if I should use that or the regular space bar. Do you guys use split space bar ? Why do you use it compared to the normal one ?
I ordered KEMOVE 64/66 Key from Kickstarter because of its unique layout. I want to buy a different set of keycaps for it but I can't seem to find spacebar keycaps for this specific layout. Do you guys know where I can find one? Thanks!

You need to find blank modifiers, looks like it uses a blank 2.75u and 2.25u, I think.
Why does everyone hate on split space bars? My everyday driver has a split space bar with backspace on the left and space on the right. I just built a new board without it and I really don’t like it. When I search for more to buy with a split bar I don’t find much. It really just seems to me a large spacebar is a waste of space. Moving my hand up to backspace seems really inefficient vs just using my left thumb.
So Im thinking of getting the new 60he V2 module with the split space bar but i dont wanna have to buy a whole keycap set just for the space bar, i was wondering if the size of the split spacebar keys are the same as any other keycaps or maybe if wooting could sell just the space bar or accent keys.
I'm looking at picking up one of the 2 Rama boards that can handle split space bars. I'm noticing that I don't have any split spacebars in my sets, which begs the question, where does one obtain them?
Prices include CONUS shipping.

1. Varmilo (similar to Cherry-profile), dye-sub PBT (86 caps): $29
-
Rainbow keycaps very similar to these, except with a slightly different design on the spacebar, and no windows on the caps lock or scroll lock keys.
-
Missing the ']' keycap. If desired, I can include a blank white G20-profile cap that I've been using to fill the space. (It blends in pretty well.)
2. DSA-profile, blank PBT (22 caps): $12
-
Purple, black, cream; blank except for one '~' key.

2.25u x 2, 2u, 1.75u x 2, 1.5u x 2, 1.25u x 5, 1u x 10

If desired, I can add a 3u/3.25u DSA split spacebar for an additional $2. (From this set.)
3. Cherry-profile, laser-engraved PBT (75 caps): $12

From a NIZ Plum EC keyboard
4. OEM-profile, blank PBT (21 caps): Free with purchase upon request
is it inconvenient/ugly to get SA keycaps if I were to build a keyboard with a split space bar? This would require using the shifts as space bars but since the keyset is sculpted would it feel/look weird? Thanks!
Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Why are so many responses downvoted? These people are trying to help.
As already mentioned it depends on the pcb. Notice that the linked pic below indicates the supported configuration alternatives of this particular PCB, based on the colored caps. For instance this PCB supports a full size backspace key (purple), or two individual keys. Likewise, both ANSI and ISO enter keys (pink) are supported. As you can see, there are also options for the caps lock and the shift keys. Now, observe all of the possible bottom row configurations, as indicated by the green keys.
