Thinkpads Forum

I posted this a while back, but we have a much bigger community now so I thought I'd make it a poll.

My left mouse button is significantly louder than the other two and I'm trying to determing if this is by design or if I should request a replacement. The noise is enough to be distracting in quiet environments, and is not due to a difference in the way I press the three buttons.

Here is an audio clip exampe: http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=2011243

It was taken with the onboard mic, so obviously sounds louder than real life. In each case I am using the same force and angle.

I ALSO have noticed that my F5 button is not smooth when I hit it near the leading edge. This is not a problem with other buttons so far... starting to believe the naysayers who think lenovo messed up the keyboard this time around.

I chose this option: Yes, but not enough to be bothersome

I find it not very bothersome because i always turn on my notebook music very loud to override the loud annoying click sounds.

Left is definitely loudest, followed by the right, with the center button being most quiet. My left is nothing like your left. Didn't even notice the difference until I sat there clicking away and listening.
