#707: some parts of bigger keys are touch insensitive

 On my machine, I have repeatedly lost a few keystrokes of the erase, enter
 and spacebar buttons. When trying to reproduce, I found out that all
 bigger keys on the keyboard share this defect. If you have small fingers
 (or a ballpoint pen), you too can locate touch-insensitive areas on each
 bigger key. I counted 8 equally spaced areas on the spacebar which are
 touch insensitive. Seems that the spacebar is just an area covering
 multiple key contacts and when you manage to hit the spacebar between the
 contact points, no keypress is detected.
