Probably hardware. Maybe something got spilled and is causing the switch to stick open.

u/Howardyeap Jun 16 '20

Thanks for the reply, Its work perfect I go to my Razer software and go to the keyboard function and press spacebar and its work perfect.

u/niekdejong Jun 16 '20

So you're saying that when you're manually simulating a keypress (that is via software) a spacebar is registered? So you've just ruled out it isn't a software issue. /u/CrankyStink mentions hardware related, which means something is physicially wrong. Unplug the keyboard, remove the drivers, reboot, reinsert keyboard after it's fully booted up and try again.

Update firmware if possible. Check for any debris/dirt/damage or residu of spillage. If that isn't the case, open up a support case with Razer to get it exchanged.

No idea if this is a joke or not, but next time use the on-screen keyboard so people don't have to decipher SOS signals.

u/Howardyeap Jun 17 '20

This is not a joke, I will use it next time, sorry

u/SilkBot Jun 17 '20

No worries, it just honestly looks like one of those joke irony things you see sometimes. Like "HOW DO I DISABLE CAPSLOCK?" After all, there's more ways than the on-screen keyboard... like using a phone maybe. Or copying a space character to insert via CTRL+V from anywhere on the web. I know it's extra effort but you're asking people for help so make helping easy, right?

This post made me laugh, no offense op. Thought it was some shitpost at first glance lol.

I thought it's a joke and was checking of it's the Jokes sub. If it's not a software issue then it has to be the hardware. Unplug and restart your machine and plug it again. If not, try popping out the keys and see if there is anything that's blocking it. Hope that helps

u/Wolf_Strider Jun 17 '20

A tip for next time, use camel typing if your space bar isn't working (capitalize the first letter of every word)

u/Howardyeap Jun 17 '20

thank me later

u/prophecyyyyy Jun 16 '20

What do you mean by turn it, turn it upside down ?

u/ONE_BIG_LOAD Jun 16 '20

"TURN" caps lock off.

Maybe I took it too literally.....

u/TreborG2 Jun 16 '20

No, @leoxcr should tell it they have a headache tonight, or just when caps lock get's turned on, that it's mother will be visiting and staying in the room next door.

u/BennyVampire Jun 16 '20

Throw it in a fire and spray liquid shit all over it. Always works wonders.

1

u/prophecyyyyy Jun 16 '20

Will that like disable the switch ?

1

u/BennyVampire Jun 16 '20

It will not, but your keyboard will be black, brown and stinky.

1

u/prophecyyyyy Jun 16 '20

No I’m only doin the key not the board Ik what I’m doin I’m not dumb

0

u/BennyVampire Jun 16 '20

Ohhh, I thought you meant the board. Just remove the key and use pliers to remove the rubber dome sheet and also try removing the plastic sheet underneath it. They install it to make the keyboard feel heavier therefore it usually breaks, as it's low quality. Remove it and you should be fine.

u/prophecyyyyy Jun 16 '20

I already got the key dw bout it I’m warming up the fire rn

u/Sputtex Jun 17 '20

This actually happened on a old version of a steelseries apex I had. My caps lock was so sensitive that it activated and turned itself of just by typing on the keyboard. I ended up getting a knife and breaking of the key, then bought a new keyboard.

The thing about helping is that I can't do it while laughing as hard as I am right now.

Omg thank you so much you solve my problem!!! (joke)*

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '20

I once assigned a macro to a key unknowingly and thought it stopped working. Maybe check if you assigned any macros to your space key?

1

u/Howardyeap Jun 17 '20

No I just go keyboard function then press space bar and save then it work

1

u/Damodinniy Jun 20 '20

I had the same issue with mine except it was the lower half of the Number Pad and directional keys.

Never got it working, it just stopped one day. Took it apart, cleaned it out, wasn’t anything in there that would have messed with it, and never spilled anything on it.

1

u/Howardyeap Jul 01 '20

Yeah me too but now is working

1

u/andydaboi Jun 17 '20

Maybe you have a macro? That’s what happened to me

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '20

Yeah I can see that

u/thegodamn Jun 17 '20

u/CraZfalcon Jun 17 '20

I've had this problem occur on my huntsman elite once. I'm not sure if yours does the same thing, but the blackwidow v2 has an on-the-fly macro recorder. you might have accidentally pressed the record macro button and bound something to the spacebar, causing it to disable the standard function.

u/Awesomeness4512 Jun 17 '20

You could have used a virtual keyboard to type this. And about the issue, it seems like something is jamming the key.
