I never noticed it until today. i was sitting in calm place so i started noticing it.

the keys are kinda loose or wiggly. it's kinda loud, not sure if it's normal.

Please note i am touching the key not pressing the key. i never noticed the keyboard problems of 2016. I already had 2016 15" with many keyboard problems so i know it's not the same issue. i don't remember if it was the same on my 2016. on my 2016 i had popping sound, high clicking noise, sticky keys and even un responsive keys. i replaced it with 2017 one month ago. i always clean the keyboard so maybe my excessive cleaning made the keys loose?

Just checked on my 2017 Pro, and yes it does the same. Also tried a couple of other keyboards I got and they all had this. The Macbook Pro was by far the least "wiggly" of the keyboards I tried. Pretty sure this is normal and nothing to worry about.

thank you @Erlendks. the keyboard problems of 2016 made me kinda worried.

I can confirm that this is also present in the 2016 model as well. I started to be able to get past the weird loud clicks on the 2016 model but it's good to know that I am not alone here on this :) (I also clean the keyboard often idk if that per se could have sped up the looseness of the keys.) Either way, let's try to move past this haha!
