Rattling Spacebar
« on: Sun, 19 July 2020, 00:20:26 »
newb question regarding my space bar. i have a igk68 hot swappable keyboard. i had some box browns on there that started to click, so i figured i would try putting in some other switches. i tried gateron ink blacks and enjoy them quite a bit (can't afford to get the tactile zealios right this second, even though i am a tactile man for the most part).

while installing the switch for the spacebar, i pushed down too hard and the switch got pushed through the top plate. i retrieved the switch and straightened the pins and tried again. it works fine, but now the right stabilizer on the space bar rattles. the left side is fine. all the rest of the switches are good and pretty quiet, but i do get that rattle frequently as i almost exclusively use my right thumb to press my space bar (at least 75% of the time, probably bad form).

i was wondering if anyone had any idea how to remedy this situation. thank you in advance and sorry for the long post.
