Just got XPS 15 spacebar makes noise

Hey



Just got XPS 15 spacebar makes noise, dont know how to explain it but you know the sound it makes generally on old laptops when you press the spacebar.....maybe its kind of loose?



Other keys are sold and dont make noise when pressed....



Someone else have this problem?

My XPS 17 (L702x) has the same issue, the spacebar is something that really clicks the other keys have a soft click

I think it has to do with the mechanism that allows the full key length to depress when just one finger is pressing down on one side. Typically there's a metal brace, and its probably the sound of this brace hitting the base.

put a small piece of paper between the key and the base. It helps a lot

Can you please explain a bit more, as I dont understand. Wouldnt a piece of paper underneath the spacebar make it more hard to press?



Thanks.
