My keyboard supports split spacebar's, and I'm wondering if it's as simple as me adding another switch, mapping both to space and adding split spacebar keycaps. Do I need to change my stabs at all?

Sorry for the noob question.

Yes, it's pretty much that simple but you will also need to change your stabs since there are now two keys to stabilize. That means you might have to take pretty much the whole board apart depending on what kind of stabs you have. It will likely be 2 × 2u stabs
