WASD provided stabilizers when I bought the bare-bones keyboard, but I am not exactly sure what they are or how I use/insert them.

1) Take little white stabilizer inserts in hand
2) Face the longer side towards escape
3) Push into the holes in the bottom of the keycaps
4) Catch the wire into the insert holes
5) Push spacebar into keyboard

  • a-are these pbt?
i dont think you should be torquing a switch like you are with that space bar in OP pic . . .

also what people above have been saying, you are missing the stabilizer inserts. your old space bar might still have them inside them so go get that and flip it over and check.
