Keyboard spacebar doesn't work at times

Hello everyone!

I have a Mac mini 2020 version. I'm using a Macally bluetooth keyboard - a very nice unit.

My issue is: There are plenty of instances where the space bar will not function. I can type letters and numbers, but the space bar will not operate. In fact, sometimes the default cursor area will jump around the screen to different areas each time I hit the space bar, though it isn't like that every time.

I figured it was a bluetooth issue and hooked up a wired keyboard only to have the exact same issue.

At first I thought it was only with Mozilla products, but I have found it to occur when I am using Safari as well. In fact, it seems to be anything that deals with online.

I'm always like, WTF is the deal? I would understand if the keyboard didn't work at all or if I got numbers when I type letters but all the other keys work just fine. It's just the spacebar and it's ******* me off to the point of imagining a sledgehammer becoming intimate with the keyboard.

This transition from PC to Mac has been one major frustration.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Jeff
