That's asking for trouble! One thing I wouldn't mind knowing is how decent space bars are done using domes. Do they really involve multiple domes, or are there elongated ones that do this job?
What trouble?
I just meant that everybody has their own favourite layout. ;-)
They do make oblong snap domes: http://www.snaptron.com/products/standard-domes/e-series/e-series-oblong/
Makes sense to use an oblong one but it depends on what's cheaper. If three regular snap domes are cheaper than one oblong, use the regular size (plus the qty discount if they're all the same).
Never had any issues with my Zipit spacebar that use 3 domes.
Well, if it works... I saw one keypad design once that had maybe three separate space buttons next to each other, which I thought was rather horrible.
The Ben NanoNote has a single space button, of course, which isn't really enough for anyone used to anything larger.
