About in June or July I got myself a new gaming keyboard: The Corsair K30. It works really well and I love it. However I move it around a lot for lan parties and recently discovered that some of the keys pop off. Most of the time I have been able to fix them but the other night after putting my keyboard back (not so properly) I accidentally broke the space bar on my keyboard. Basically the space bar button and the "altgr" button on the right side of the keyboard popped off. I was able to put the alt button back on fine but the space bar is a bit more tricky. Basically there is a small metal bridge piece underneath that I guess acts as a support for the long button. I managed to put it back on but then the space bar wouldn't move so I was afraid I broke it. I then took off the space bar key and put it back on simply without the small metal support bar. It works but the bar is unused so I am worried about the structural integrity of the space bar. Will it stop working after a while or is the space bar not necessary except for extra reassurance? What does that little metal thing actually do on the keyboard if anyone knows? I don't really know a lot about the structure of the keyboard so if anyone could help me out that would be fantastic.
Many thanks in advance!
