Well, my spacebar is broken, what would be a good replacement material to hit the rubber thingy? (on a laptop, I'm using a piece of monster can)

Alt + 0160 on numpad.

Laptops don't have numpad. Lol.

Yes they do (well, not a 'real' one, like a desktop has, but it works about the same). It is usually built into the "uio jkl m,." (789 456 123) keys after turning 'Num Lock' on, usually using the "Fn" key + NumLock button.

Grab a piece of plastic and Super Glue? >_> ;)

Well i'm using an Acer Aspire and your method (Harrys) worked. But i needed to hold down the ALT and the FN key. Here are the numbers.

U = 7
I = 8
O = 9
J = 4
K = 5
L = 6
M = 1
, = 2
. = 3

Not so sure about 0 though.

Well, on-topic. Maybe a paddle pop stick could work as a spacebar.

Do you realize how inappropriate typing with NumLock down is?! Lol he only wants to press space! I hate it being assigned to numlock, because in WoW the default for Auto-Run is NumLock, so I have to change it and when I use SwitchBlade and play with my XBox controller everything messes up :( Anyway to turn it off?

Change the auto-run from num lock to scroll lock?
About the spacebar, steal someone else's? Or cut out a piece of hard cardboard (not that soft crap from cereal boxes) and drawing pins that have been flattened a bit at the end (via hitting something hard) so it doesn't get too stuck on the rubbery bits. My cousin used that for a while and it work pretty well.

Make a SCAR script with an unfinite loop checking when a key is being pressed down, like when you hit the "*" key that SCAR will press spacebar?:p

*don't mind the lagging xD*

-Tsn.

Example:

begin
  repeat
    if(IsKeyDown('*')) then
    begin
      KeyDown(32)
      Wait(50+Random(51));
      KeyUp(32);
    end;
    Wait(50+Random(51));
  Until(False);
end.

Lol!

Need more wait time there unless he wants to have messages like "Thanks for the help people. "
Edit : Okay funky spacing doesnt work here.

can you not change one of the keys to be a spacebar? like the script he made, but in your keyboard settings?

Periods seem to work in file names.

Although I don't know how well they would work in day to day typing.

So.like.this.I.guess.

Its better then

How'd you break your spacebar? Also… what broke on it… you need to give more details, so we can figure out an efficient fix.

I pulled it off to clean under it, it wouldn't go down. I can't re-attach the pins/whatever.

So did something break when you pulled it out or it just won't go back into its spot? If it just won't go back in then I'd suggest using like a cotton swab and cutting the fuzzy ends off because the middle part it pretty small and still soft. Then just glue it to the bottom of the space bar or if it has any place you can just squeeze it in.

Comeone dudes, my dad has the same problem on his laptop, it's only another key, the "c"- key:p

Just use it with upper care?

You actually press NumLock to auto run in WoW? Lol. I assign my middle mouse button to auto run. I can do everything with my mouse if I wanted too.

Mine does. All 17" wide screen laptops do.

Auto Hot Key would work better. Example code to substitute "c" for spacebar:
c:: (spacebar code here)
Thats it.

Oh I like that idea with the cotton swab. Use super glue to attach it?

You still have the laptop space bar right? You should find a way to attach it like Special Ed suggested. That would be the best since it was… you know made for it.
