Halp :[ spacebar on keyboard isn't working

[meiosis]

Hello everyone .


So my spacebar on my LZ board isn't working as accurately as it was before. Today was quite the hot day in my apartment room and the spacebar after I came back was not inputting correctly. Whenever I press it down hard/long period it works, but if I'm typing normally it doesn't go through. Could this have been a soldering problem? If so what would I need to fix the problem. As far as I can tell the switch and spring look normal the only thing is that the spacebar when pressed only works like 1/20 times I press it.


Anyone recommend a cheaper option soldering station if it is the route I have to take? And would I need one of those solder suckerss

try to use another stem, maybe it is the problem of the stem.

I would replace the entire keyswitch. In a few of my keyswitches the metal parts got bent once and didn't actuate properly, I could bend them back so it might be that.

I tried to no avail, thanks though

Yeah that's one of the options I was thinking of, I can't really tell if it was the metal part or not from looking at it, I seemed to get it to work better and actuate on any press but I am afraid it might come back

I messed up 2 switches like that before, one I could saved the other I had to replace.
