Does anyone have loud keys on their keyboard?

My spacebar sounds different than any other key on my keyboard, making a loud clicking sound. Moreover, this only is the case on the right side of the bar where it gets the most use.

It's loud and annoying, and it seems irregular. Warranty claim?

Try to pop the spacebar out and reseat it before making warranty claim. Can save yourself quite a bit time and hassle...

Could be also that the whole keyboard is not properly seated, but fixing that is more tedious, as it requires disassembling the keyboard and palmrest, and the chance of making things even worse is non-negligible, especially for someone inexperienced...
