My guess is that your spacebar wire needs to be bent even more, so much so that there is a 1mm or so gap for each of the 2 metal tabs between those tabs and the spacebar wire. I did not see a response indicating whether that was tried; my reading of your follow up reply indicates that you did not ...

"Since there are no spare springs included, I could not replace them. That's the only suggestion I have not yet tried."

This is not accurate - the manual notes you can definitely switch out springs with other working springs to see if the issue is due to the spring itself, […]

Why is what I ...

Thanks for the response. Just in case it wasn't clear, I have also read the manual page on the Model F keyboards site. I only gave specific time stamps to show that I indeed did watch the video.

I am in the same boat: first I had a Matias Tactile Pro, then a Model M. But now I am sharing my office with someone, so I had to get something quieter. I opted for the Matias Quiet Pro, which has very nice, tactile but extremely quiet keys. Matias also uses the switch in an ergonomic keyboard and ...

Thanks for the recommendations, it seems that there are a few with Topre switches out there. We use macOS at home, but her work laptops are Windows machines.

First time poster here. I'm looking for recommendations for a good numpad, both new and vintage. My wife is mostly using a laptop at work, but I noticed she is relying on a crappy numpad to enter data. I'd like to get a nice numpad with a decent set of mechanical key switches.

There are two ...
