K95 sticky spacebar fix


Recommended Posts

ive found a fix for anyone having this issue.

get some scotch mounting squares cut about 1/8 to 3/16 inch strips

6 of them slightly longer than width of key.stick one on top

of another leaving the plastic on the top(so the pad doesnt

stick to the spacebar key) 2 strips high.

then with the space bar removed stick them on the outside

of all 3 switches.this will keep the spacebar from sticking down

as the problem is when the key travels to far.this is a simple redesign

corsair could have made themselves granted not with sticky pads

but hey we do what we have to.it works

p.s.i did have to trim them down on the 2nd and 3rd switch as they hindered the key caps above.

over a year now and the fix is still working have had zero space bar sticking.but another flaw has shown

itself.both ctrl keys have loosened and needed to be replace cost 15.00 and only had to type into amazon

corsair key replacements and up popped ctrl key set.so again another known issue.

Hello,

 

I had similar issue with sticky spacebar. Replacing whole space key worked for me.

For the original one, the left support key was loose and whole key was a bit slantwise.

One month ago, I noticed double spaces and triple spaces and today 04.12.2022 when I touch it, it is like holding key down.

I put keyboard a side and found I bought it 09.09.2019 so out of warranty. (Some predesigned small rotten device to force me buy another keyboard?)

For keyboard for €165 it is pretty bad result.

I'm writing on MS keyboard KU0951 which is old and was used daily as Corsair K95 Platinum, but it works after these years.

I always thought quality is well paid but right now I see it is only another marketing trick. I hope Corsair start to think about it.

CORISAIR K95 PLATINUM is great disappointment for me.

Not all is bad:

I have C70 Vengeance with Corsair RGB serving great, as well as three PSUs, RGB Night swords mouses, and I'm satisfied.

 Is there a way how to fix my K95? I saw guy soldering K100 and K70, may be the only way.

Thank you very much
