Title: Idiotic me and the darn Spacebar
Post by: Ventus Fall on April 24, 2012, 12:17:06 PM
Hey guys (and girls) :)

I try to be happy and polite, eventhough I am very frustrated right now :/

Because I was frustrated about some tiny thing, I vented it out on my keyboard, which I never did before. And never shall again...
The whole keyboard is quite fine, as you can see I'm able to type correctly.

But here's the problem:
My spacebar.
I can still tap on it, and it will enter a space, but the left side of the spacebar is a bit awkward.
It will stay down and make lots of spaces, or nothing. The right side if the spacebar is fine though.

I am slightly annoyed about this and am wondering if there is anything I can do so that my spacebar will return to normal?

What kind of keyboard have you got? Is it old? How long has it been since you cleaned it?

It's a wireless one, I can only see it's from Qware :/ I don't have much more info on the keyboard...
But it isn't because it's dirty, it's because I was being too frustrated and hit the spacebar too hard.

Can you pop the spacebar out of the keyboard?
If so, do that, and try to re-align it properly. You may have forced it to pop out of place, kind of like dislocating a should >3>

If not, you may have to take apart the keyboard, which isn't usually a fun process =X

I tried, but I'm not sure how much force I should use.
(I tend to be very carefull)

And sorry, no experience with dislocated shoulders ^^;

If you have taken it out and put it back it should be good to go.
Just try not to attack it again. :)

I have tried, but I don't want to break it ^^;
So I haven;t yet succeeded in removing the spacebar from the keyboard D:

And I won't ^^;
I usually don't attack things, ever. lol, even my mum when she came into my room hours later she was like: O_o You never do stuff like this...

Lol I have to admit it made me laugh.
What made you angry? If you don't mind me asking.

Also it won't break it, all you have to do is it yank it off, but if it is working and you don't feel comfortable doing it just leave it.

Something stupid and silly, something no 'normal' person would worry about.
I would want to tell you, if you erally want to know, but I'd rather not say so here, so send me a PM if you're still curious :P
Nothing special, quite idiotic/stupid/silly, mind you ^^;

And ok, I'll try it sometime soon again :P
I'll let you know what happened ^^
