I have a k95 platinum and I think there is an issue with the space bar. When I press the space bar multiple time because I cant press it dead center the space bar tilts so i have to press from the other side or else it will just tilt to a point that its not registering any more. Is there a way to fix this?

Are you sure the spacebar keycap (the plastic you actually touch) is actually inserted fully into the keyswitch (the thing under the keycap, in the middle) and its stabilizers (at both sides of the keycap)?

Yep pressed down on it with a lot of strength

What kind of stabilizers are underneath?

This (note the metal rod):

Or this? (note the black 'switches' next to the red):

if the first, check if the switch is actually connected to the rod, if the latter, check if the switch is actually inserted into those 'black switches' on the side.

Sounds like the spacebar keycap might be broken, one of the stems might be cracked like this:

See how there is a crack runnin along the '+' mark.

With the keycap off lift each side of the stabilizer one at a time. The oposite side should come up all the way along with the side you lift.

I really cant see any crack maybe because the + are white so its not so visible?
