Title: How to make POM space bar fit?
Post by: kitykat on Wed, 13 November 2013, 08:38:22

So , I have this set of rainbow POM keycaps and all except the space bar works :/
I pressed it down and it just won't pops back up. I think its too tight or something.
Any idea how to make it works? I'd really love to use it  :(

Welcome to Geekhack!

Is it straight?  I.e. if you put it on a flat surface (the space bar) does it sit completely flat?

What stabilisers have you got - Cherry or Costar?

What keyboard is it?

the spacebar itself may be straight, but the actual stems aren't, I had this same problem with cherry stabs and a backspace. The stems "push" the cherry stabs into their housing and don't let it pop back up. Your best bet would be to either try to straighten out the stems (carefully ofc, you don't want to break them), or try swapping your stabs to costar :/
