Question Spacebar not always registering, sometimes registers twice

[Jojo Moyes]

My keyboard is around 2 years old, the spacebar is the only one which doesn't work all the time.
One regular tap 50% of the times doesn't register, 45% of the times registers one space, 5% of the times registers 2 or more (has gone to around 5 maximum)
It doesn't matter how much pressure I put in or where in the spacebar I press, its always around what I told earlier.

Do I need to replace my keyboard, or is there a way to fix it?
My keyboard was around 60€ (mechanical keyboard), and I don't want to waste another 60€ for just a spacebar, but if it comes to it, I gues..

Pop all the keys off and deep clean the keyboard it may have sothing sticking to it

I cleaned beneath the spacebar and it's working fine, thank you

You are welcome

Further update, the problem is back.
The only way to completely avoid it is to smash the key, and even sometimes it doesn't work or double spaces.
Don't know what else to do, any ideas?

Look up modle nuber and see if you can order a new space bar sounds like something on the clips broke.

Yes that was the issue, I removed the keycap and even like that it doesn't always work as it should.
I searched and couldn't find a place to buy new clips for this model, perhaps you know a place that has a lot of keyboard models?

Just had an idea, if I replace the mechanical switches from the spacebar with one of the numKeys, would it work? or are they designed for each specific spot? Model is MKPlus Slayer M3
