you see that metal bar? its most likely attached to the spacebar keycap

2017-09-26 21:41:17 UTC  

it varies from keyboard to keyboard so don't think the geometry is the same, you might have to just bend one side up and the other out

2017-09-26 21:41:53 UTC  

so pull out the spacebar until its loose but not off the keyboard, then push it to the right and lift the left side of the spacebar up

2017-09-26 21:42:28 UTC  

kind of like this

i think its under the red pcb

2017-09-26 21:48:10 UTC  

i.e don't touch it because you wont ever need to

2017-09-26 21:48:41 UTC  

i dont see what's the problem, the center female goes into the stem, the left and right goes into the left and right cherry stabilizer male dongles

2017-09-26 21:49:16 UTC  

oh yeah it's under pcb i see it

2017-09-26 21:49:20 UTC

what the hell is soft enamel

2017-09-26 21:54:22 UTC  

It's plastic

2017-09-26 21:54:34 UTC  

so should i just take apart the whole keyboard? because i really dont feel like doing it

2017-09-26 21:55:06 UTC  

you might, are you sure its not because youre not seating the spacebar properly?

2017-09-26 21:55:17 UTC  

as in the left and right and center are all connected

2017-09-26 21:58:32 UTC  

yeah it's all connected, looks identical on both sides

2017-09-26 22:03:23 UTC  

and both sides are still shit?

2017-09-26 22:04:55 UTC  

only the left one is

2017-09-26 22:06:32 UTC  

like it's shit when pressing from the middle to left

2017-09-26 22:08:05 UTC  

uh

2017-09-26 22:08:17 UTC  

you could try pressing really hard on the left side and seeing if it magically fixes itself

2017-09-26 22:08:27 UTC  

i dont know how that would fare with a cheap chinkboard

2017-09-26 22:08:47 UTC  

Smack the dirty slut

2017-09-26 22:09:23 UTC  

Its worth a shot as long as you're not mortaring it against the table

2017-09-26 22:11:10 UTC  

other than that, if you dont want to take off the front plate you can peer into the left and right holes and just try prodding at it and checking it out
