I am very sensitive to the touch and feel of my keyboard. I am using the MBP 17" for a couple of months now. My typing stile is 10-fingers without any aggressive key-hacking.
Yesterday I discovered that the touch and feel of the tab key has changed. In fact it also makes a slightly higher frequency noise than before, when I push it. In fact I start to dislike touching the Tab key.
I checked for the reason of the problem and found out, that the Tab key is wobblier than the other keys on my keyboard. Far from what I would call loose but wobbly.
(N.b.: I did not spill any coffee over my keyboard or use the notebook in any dirty environment.)
Did anybody discover a similar issue?
Is it possible that a grain of sand or dust is in there?
If so, how can I remove the key from the keyboard to check?
