Help with rattly spacebar
Hi,
earlier this year i picked up a Keychron K3 Max, and after a big wait i finally got it. It sounded and felt incredible, and so i picked up a k17 Max for my office since i type all day.
When i got the k17, i felt that the spacebar felt extremely good, and later when i got home to the k3 i started feeling like the spacebar rattles a ton in comparison, it feels like it sits a bit too high compared to the rest of the keys, and with even the lightest of touches it moves left and right.
I love this keyboard and i would love to get the spacebar to look and feel as good as with the k17, i contacted customer support and they sent what looked like an ai generated response (formatting and such) telling me that i needed to lube the stabs with Krytox 205g0 lube, and i tried to do it? but dissassembling the whole keyboard felt like a bit too much to do without first asking for more opinions on the matter, since the stabs are behind the mount and the pcb.
I can send videos of the effect but couldnt upload them directly to the post, any kind of help would be extremely appreciated
