Ehhhhhhh have you spill anything over your keyboard by any chance?  Because I can't think of any reason why the key will become more stiff.  Is it just 1 key or a lot of keys?

Also what do you mean that spacebar is like "jigger"?

LOL.. Jigger......

 If your space bar is Bent very badly, "mega-Jiggers",  then try the Hair dryer method to straighten it a bit...

Lube usually doesn't help if the jigger is caused by flatness.

HAHAHA.. jigger...

um... take the cap off,  press the stem down, and spray the inside at multiple angles with compressed air..

If that doesn't do it, You really have to de-solder and replace the switch.. you cannot open the key switch because on this keyboard it's plate mounted.

Plate mounting provides for greater stability, but is difficult to work with.

Is it all keys or just some keys feel stiffer?

Shouldn't really happen.  And if it does happen gradually, you would be unlikely to notice (unless you switch between other keyboards with similar switches).

Perhaps it is just finger fatigue?  Maybe just use it as normal for a few more days and see if it gets back to normal.
