Title: Razer Cynosa spacebar problem
Post by: -Leska on Sun, 26 April 2020, 08:58:42
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask for help but it looks like this is the place with a lot of knowledgeable people.

So I bought a new keyboard and yet again I have an issue with it.
This is Razer Cynosa Lite and I got a problem with my spacebar that you can see here:

I already tried to take the spacebar out and put it back and it doesn't help.

When I press on the left side of it the key leans to the left and I have to push a lot harder but when I press it on the right side or the centre the whole key is being pushed down with ease and not just one side. Also when I attach the key upside down it works perfectly fine (second video). But even then I still can feel some tension under it.

Does anyone know how to fix it or what caused it?
My guess is the key itself. Because even when I flip the key upside down I can feel something isn't right on the faulty side as I said earlier.

So I found the solution. You simply put some paper or something thin in stabilizer socket. https://imgur.com/a/xtoSWoF

I had a look but it's a strange design so had no idea what it could be.  Thanks for letting us know the fix - the next person with this problem will surely appreciate it :thumb:

Good old Razer, being exceptionally unexceptional. Maybe they've changed, but having seen the quality of one of their older mice, that cost $80 ... and felt like a $5 Chinesium no-name brand, I lost all interest in that company.
