keyboard repair

It looks like my new Model M keyboard is permanently damaged. I'm still using it but only with a keyboard mapping utility that allows me to move keys around. I've currently got the non-functioning space key mapped to one of the useless Windows keys to the left of the Cntl-right key and am limping along. I've also got the 5, 7, and 8 keys mapped to the numeric keypad so that I can use the %, &, and * symbols.
Pretty depressing, all in all.
[update] I had to pack it in. The loss of the spacebar was simply too much to deal with.
