You are a lifesaver! For those who aren't sure about the orientation of the plastic mechanism and also the spacebar itself. Plastic mechanism: There is a tilt on it. It should be arranged so that the tilt can lift from the top. Also on the plastic mechanism there is one side where there are kind of like four notches. Two of them are more centered. That part should be at the bottom end. For the space bar itself, there should be a plastic potrusion where the gapped side of the inner metal ring (there is a gap of one side) should fit nicely. Once you fit the inner metal ring correctly, you can watch the video to see the correct orientation of the space bar. Thanks again apfeltasten!

After following this tutorial my spacebar does not work at all, it will not come up without levering something under it. I have spent 2 hours taking it out and putting it back, no luck. This is my third keyboard of this type, and the third to fail because of s spacebar. At this point it is a $100 per quarter keyboard subscription all because of spacebars. I love this keyboard too much to not buy a new one, but I REALLY wish they would fix the spacebar issues.

OK I went all over the internet because this tutorial seems to be the only one that helps yet for me it wasn't working, my spacebar was still getting all stuck and even though it kind of worked, it was slow coming up and frustrating because it didn't "pop" back up like the other keys. UNTIL I saw a post on reddit saying that you should also clean the scissor mechanisms (small white plastic bits that swivel). Now I did that before and it wasn't working and that's because you really have to clean the s**t out it. Here's how I did it: First you need to take those scissor mechanism plastic things and try to separate them. They are linked in the middle where it rotates, it's like an axis. All you need to do is press a bit in the top and bottom with your fingers until it comes loose and you can remove the inner white piece of plastic. Second you need to wash them in alcohol to get rid of the gunk, I found that alcohol and cotton buds worked really well, clean every goddamn single surface!!! and also make sure to use something to clean the little holes where the pieces join, where it rotates. Now put the pieces back together and to test if it's clean enough, you can hold the outer piece by itself and the inner piece should rotate by itself, through gravity alone, without assistance. If it does that, then you're good to go and it will get that "pop" again. It's f*cking ridiculous that it comes down to such little tiny almost microscopic details, but this should work. I was going insane because nothing was working for me, but this actually fixed it.

Great tutorial! Btw, if you don't have a guitar pick, using a credit card will work just fine. I was eating in front of my computer. After, I noticed the spacebar was less "springy". Problem persisted the next day. I assume a little grease or sauce from the food got caught in the keys. Anyways, I dismantled the spacebar using this tutorial, cleaned all the parts with rubbing alcohol, waited for it to dry, then put it back together. Now, my spacebar is as springy as it was before! =)
