Title: [Question] Spacebar doesn't return to neutral position
Post by: Qipz on Wed, 30 September 2020, 08:39:36
Hey guys

Like the topic says, how do I fix this problem and what causes it?
It's probably the stabilizer but I don't see how to fix it.

Any input?

Pic of the stabilizer, which seems bent and the spacebar stuck all the way down.

It might simply be a spacebar slightly warped or out-of-spec. Have you tried the action using a different spacebar?

I tried 2 different spacebars and used both on 2 different boards, they both worked on my current board and didn't work on the board in the picture.

I have no clue, this was my first custom board and I had it assembled by someone in this community who, afaik, has made tons of boards.

Oh also, this is a GH60, I got it like 5 or 6 years ago or something and I just dug it out of the box wondering if I could fix up this problem I found back them

A straight-down photo without the spacebar might help.
