spacebar issues? Letter R? Glossy? Does your space bar work?

The space bar issue is one that can occur to the space, shift, keypad +, keypad enter and keypad insert keys. The problem is that underneath said keys there is a thin rod running across with 2 little plastic parts holding the rod onto the key itself. This supports the wider key size, but when one of the little plastic parts pops out of the underside of the key, it will block the keys downward motion and will not allow the key to depress evenly, as the rod is only attached on one side. You will hear a rattle if you give it a shake. Pay shipping costs and wait for Razer to click the key back onto its rod then send it back, or just do it yourself... The issue is bound to happen some day- I hope this will be of some use to someone.

Yeah, that fixed it! Thanks! Had to go to AMD to download their Catalyst something. Then I had to get rid of that and find the one specific for Mac. Changed the overscan to 0% and no more black border. Thanks again burntham. Now I get to add another thing to my "why I hate Windows" list.

Good question. I had to go try that for myself. It's both, a space bar or a scroll button. I find if you want to type in a search box (for instance) you must first click on the search box or it won't be in "typing mode", it will be "scrolling mode". So click first before typing and you will get the spacer bar. I hope that clears it up for you. I use the directional arrows or the pgup or pgdn buttons for scrolling so the space bar is a new scroll button for me.

The space bars do not have the same problem as the Microsoft keyboard. I switched to this keyboard for that very reason.

I can't speak to that. I had trouble with the letter keys. They "pop" on to the keyboard. The first day I used it the letter 'a' popped off I never did get it to stay on. Impossible to type anything when you keep having to put the letter back. I was surprised at the poor design.

Yes. We had problems too. There is a front bar and a back bar. They are sized differently. Make sure you use the right ones in the right places.

No. Everyyhing is ok except for the keyboard. I can't figure out how to make it function properly. Sometimes I press akey and then the option for that letter gets typed. Love the screen and resolution.

Yes, mine do. If they don't display at all there is a problem in the way you hooked it up or make sure you select the right input selected. The bars should be a reflection of the individual settings.

Hi David, The background is very glossy. The space bar is black, but not glossy. The keys on my keyboard are covered with a non-glossy black and white letters that I added. The keyboard had no blotches of any kind. It also has a pretty blue light that indicates if the Caps are on. I am happy I purchased this keyboard, I hope things work out for your friend.

character and keyboard viewer in the top bar, if it is a certain way, it creates a problem, go into keyboard preferences and check to see how this is set, I had some problem with that, once I got it set, it works great!

Yes, the colors are interchangeable. There is a backlight button next to space bar.

I actually returned this because the space bar is placed behind the tab that holds the two pieces together. So when you type you have to go behind the clip to use space bar.

Yes, the space bar is a little louder than other keys. It doesn't bother me though - I rather like the difference in sound as it confirms i have entered a space when i intend to. Interestingly, I was actually unaware of the difference until you brought it to my attention!

I don't have that problem. But I remember reading about it in reddit . com and an easy fix. Forgot what it was. Did you remember to remove the thin plastic protection stickers? On the inside? Also, wipe it clean and see if that helps.

Can't say for sure, sorry. Once I saw it, I realized it wouldn't work for my space.

I have had my Toshiba for 6 months. Have not had ANY problem with the space bar.

Seemed similar. I hated this keyboard, though. I returned it after a week.Several of the buttons double type. For example, one press of the space bar gives 2-3 spaces every ten times. Drove me crazy
