SOURCE: IBM Selectric III typewriter: Spacebar when touched for one space often fires away as though it is being held down.

Remove the R. black duat cover. Get some WD40 and spray the cam cluster and the related parts espesially the pivit points of the arms front and rear of the cams. They gum up and cause this problem.

SOURCE: The spacebar doesn't work consistantly unless ''pounded''

The spacebar is the most often used switch on your keyboard, so, yes, it's from overuse, but also from
the fact that it is the longest key on your keyboard and the closest to the edge, all of this combining to
make it the dirtiest key on the board.

So, get a keyboard cleaning kit, either professional or DIY which would consist of the following, cotton
swabs, compressed air, and maybe a toothbrush and realize that all the stuff that accumulates under
your keyboard's space key makes it harder to depress to the point where contact is made.

SOURCE: Spacebar is super sensitive. You barely touch it

the spacebar key is misaligned. you may try removing the cap but putting it back is a pain the @ss, and usually does not work. if this is within warranty, call dell and have it replaced for a reason that the key popped out

SOURCE: Everything works except for spacebar & key advance

The T/W is probably just gummy. Will it tab? If so the correction mech. is probably the trouble, if not try some WD40 on the silver shaft that the s
carrier slides on.

The spacebar on my laptop doesn't always leave spaces between words, what is wrong with it?

Inside the key, there is a metal bar the makes the spacebar key depress from anywhere you press it. Either this bar as unclipped from its hinges or they have broken.

Keys strike paper but don't space

Is it all of the keys or just some of the keys don't space? Check to see if the lang light is turned on. If it is, hold down the control button (the button left of the spacebar) and hit the letter "X" and see if the light goes out.

SPACEBAR WILL NOT SPACE

Inspect the spacebar paralell guide wire. When depressing the spacebar on the right or left side extreme the spacebar other side should travel down at the same time. If not the spacebar will not actuate the electronic keyswitch under the spacebar. Most likely, the keyswitch is defective and requires replacement.
