Hi, another Keyboard Sound Thread upcoming:

So I replaced my MacBook Pro 13 twice

First time because of clicking hinges (when opening the lid)

Second time because of the strange (to me) annoying sound of the spacebar in store at a reseller, the salesclerk also said, this doesn't sound right compared to the display models in store

I should have opened it in store, because now at home, I'm facing the exact same issue:

See Video:


Please compare to your keyboard, thanks!

this guy apparently is also bothered:

First world problems...

I still don't hear the problem? Only space bar issue I've been aware is the bar doesn't work on the very ends. That seems reasonable to return it for that.

However, if it sounds different...who cares? As long as it works and operates fine, the key itself is 9 times the size of any other, of course it'll be a little different.
