First, put the space key on. Place it lightly on its spot, make sure the spring lines up, and insert the two retaining latches. Then push it down.

Then, put on all the larger keys, seating the bar first and then pushing down on the key. Your keyboard will look like the 2nd picture.

This is a good time to plug in your keyboard and make sure that you got the springs lined up correctly on the big keys. If they all work like they should, go on to the next step.

NOTE: if any key, space key or otherwise, doesn't go "clacky" like it should, pry it up and push down again. No need to do anything else if you have done all the other steps properly. I had to do this to one key about five times, so keep trying and it should work.
