    Yeah, I know. But in addition to having to spell check and grammar check now I have to space check.

    I am having similar problems with my spacebar, although only certain parts of it. If I press it at the far right side it does not register. So, when I type emails and forum posts, I lose a lot of spaces since I use my right hand on the spacebar unless I actively think to move my thumb a bit farther in. When I game, it is my left thumb using the spacebar so all is well.

    I was meaning to ask others if they press on the far right end of the spacebar, does it register for you?

    Hmm. Mine does a little of this.... but only on the far right corners. If I hit squarely on the far right side it works fine, but the top or bottom corners don't register. They do on the left.

    Not something that causes me any issues though. It registers fine where my thumbs normally rest for typing or gaming.
