Yes. I had the same problem. It happens when one of the stabilizers comes loose and jams itself in there. Just pull the spacebar off, pull out both stabilizers, apply an ample portion of glue (I just stuck them in an Elmers glue stick), reinsert them, let it dry (I stuck it in my computer case under my graphics card to let the low heat help out, since glue doesn't dry very quickly without air contact), and put it back on. Note that the longer part of the stabilizer will point the direction that the wire falls. Assuming all Blackwidows are the same, it should point towards the typist.
