Carefully. That's how. xD 

Tbh, I can't tell exactly how, just try what seems to work.

Hello, recently for some reason my space key on my razer blackwidow chroma has a side that is "detached"

 


Video example - 

 

Do any of you know a way to fix this? I still have waranty on it, but I was told it would take 2-3 weeks (not including shipping time)

You can pull it and try to fix it. The metal bar underneath probably fell out of place. Fairly easy to fix. Just be careful pulling it.

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD

Should I buy this to pull it out? https://www.amazon.com/Akwox-Keycap-Dampeners-Mechnial-Keyboard/dp/B01FNJQGQO/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1505083662&sr=1-4&keywords=keycap+puller

No don't bother, that's more useful for regular keys.

On my keyboard I can pull it with my fingers and a lever of sorts (careful not to damage the board in this process)

IDK if Its easier or harder to do it on mech boards.

I think it is harder on my space key because on side is tightly in and the other is loose

Yeah, so the crossbar underneath may have slipped. It should be easy enough to fix.
