Had this idea a few years ago (and I’m sure I’m not the only one) - looks like someone tested a prototype and decided to do an IC. This one’s too expensive for me, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Geon take a whack at it.
Also, SwitchOddities has a whole buncha new samples in their catalog, including those kooky ball-bearing ones. Check it out!
Maybe unnecessary to buy this and instead just use two pieces of aluminum clamped together (maybe even with just rubber bands). The creator suggest that it is all that they’ve tested so far (as the actual prototype is still on the way):
To test this, like I mentioned in a reply below I just took a spacebar, put it between 2 aluminum plates and clamped it down. Then dunked it in water and it came out perfectly. This is doing the same as using a blow dryer its just more convenient and controllable/repeatable. I will post a video/photo album of the prototype working as soon as it arrives. Me and Bowl rush-ordered it today.
The keep the two plates aligned, one could just wedge a piece of rubber/foam at each corner.
Although, one thing to be careful about is to not exert too much force on the two plates, as one might possibly flatten the entire spacebar into a pancake.

Microsoft just Microsofting…
Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.
Challenge so very accepted
Looking at some switches being discussed in the mailday thread when…
Is that a click-leaf in a (non-Zeal) Gateron?
Sure looks like it… >.>
Definitely a different design from the Zeals, but the lineage is there IMO.
Are we really tough enough to learn to press Win-C instead, though?
I hope that MS will insist on dedicated keys for every Win-combo from now on. Keyboards will turn back into IBM Battleships once more.
Ha. That’s what I was thinking too. Heck, I bet 95% of PC users don’t even use the Windows key still.
Also, I still haven’t found a good use for Copilot. It’s like a dictated Google search but worse at this point.
I use the Windows key like a religion. 
It always surprises me how many custom builds are winkeyless. If you are any kind of heavy user, that key is essential on both Mac and PC. Is the custom scene dominated by Linux users?
I use it heavily, can’t imagine not having quick access to the winkey shortcuts for rearranging windows, since that’s 50 times faster than messing with the mouse.
Not only is this gorgeous colorway available once again - but it now also features an optional R5 kit, a sleek set of redesigned novelties, and a dazzling artisan by Hibi.
Thanks to that golden-grille artisan design, I now realize this set was named after the Rolls Royce, not the DC hero…
…seems obvious in hindsight, but talk about a close accidental match:
If I hadn’t already bought a sealed copy of R1 from a fellow KeebTalker, this would be the fastest insta-buy of my keeb collecting career. 
You can still map the Win key to other less used key like caps lock (in a QMK layer or not).
People often map it to left Ctrl and left Ctrl to caps lock.
I saw that, and it’s awesome. BTW, what is this kickass keyboard they keep using for renders? I’ve seen it in aluminum and also in PC orange?
Thats our NK+! Unfortunately no ETA on the board.
I think at least some of the WKL crowd are gamers, for who bottom-left ctrl is super important, but the win key can cause a a loss if the game fails to suppress it.
If people are concerned about accidentally hitting the win key, they could always remap it to something else. Personally, I have caps lock remapped as control, making it easier to reach.
I mainly use Linux, but I find myself using the win key (or rather the “super” key) quite often. It’s a convenient way to open the application menu (something similar to the start menu), where I can just start typing the name of a program that I want to launch, maybe use arrow keys to select from the autocomplete list, and then hit enter to launch it.
I wonder about the perspective of those among you that mainly use Windows. Do you use the start menu often or infrequently? Do you prefer to click on it, rather than just staying on the keyboard?
Say no more, this will be added to my collection!
Of course not having it doesn’t stop the show because it can be mapped onto a different key, but it happens to be a useful primary key - the left one, anyway - and if you were wiping off random keys there are others that most people would find less useful, like the backslash/pipe key.
That’s true, but nearly every gaming board and every QMK board allows you to lock out the Win key for the duration of a gaming session.
