Can't get a picture with a different space bar on right now. Maybe later. Honestly, from above, the gap between this KAT space bar and the case edge looks to be just the same as the spacing between the top edge of the space bar and the bottom edge of the row of keys above it. I wouldn't want less room, since stabilized keys to have a bit of skew or twist to them. You'd end up contacting the case edge. Also, the bottom of the space bars dips below the height of the case, so the caps aren't floating at all. Hope that helps explain things.

This board has gasket-mounted, skeleton-style aluminum plates on either side that offer quite a bit of flex if you push down on keys, especially near the center of the alpha areas. The feel is not bouncy, just a bit muted. Really nice, IMO.
