Hey there Bamak27,
Let's work together to get the spacebar not to stick when pressed.
While this usually indicates a hardware issue, you may need to contact Apple Support to review your service options. We have a few things to check with you first:
- The first step would be to clean your MacBook Air. You can find Apple-approved methods under the 'Notebook computers' section here: How to clean your Apple products
- If we're mistaken and the spacebar is not physically sticking, but is repeatedly typing as if you're still pressing the spacebar(with no physical issues), we recommend a restart. Check out the section 'Restart' here: Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac
- If any accessories are currently connected/paired with your Mac(besides the charging cable), we recommend disconnecting/unpairing to test for the same issue.
Take care!
