Corsair keyboard space bar problem, need advice please!

[Illuminist]

Hey there,

I bought a k70 corsair and the space bar if pressed on the right hand side pops up making it then unpressable until i reseat it, I've looked at the little cross thingies and the metal bar thing and nothing seems damaged or broken.

How do I resolve this problem? And what is the issue?

Thank you for any help you can give

I have but im willing to try and fix it, it seems like a simple issue, just need someone to tell me what causes it so I can look at replacing the right part

Just had a look online and can't believe how common this problem is.

Looks like the problem is the stabilizer key holders on the space bar wear out slightly so they become loose.

People have fixed this by putting small bits of double sided sticky tape or blu tack in the holders on the space bar and just pressing firmly down on the space bar.

Hope this helps.

Found this cool tip if you have any keys that rattle. (this could be why the stabilizers wear out)

Not promising it will work, but worth a go.
