I just got these and noticed that they make a louder harsher clacking sound on downstroke then my original HHKB space bar, which exhibits a much softer sound. Anyone else experience this and is there anything to reduce the clack? They look pretty identical so nothing physically obvious to cause it.
hseikalyMine is doing the same thing and i cant figure out why. Makes me not want to use it at all. Sounds horrible. Also has scratch/blemish on the bottom of the side that faces out. I could live with the but the sound this space bar makes i cannot handle. I even tried to band it to see if that would help. Nope!
BvecchI just got mine as well. I pushed harder in the center and made sure to push down harder on either side and it seems to have settled in better and the loud sound that I had with the down stroke originally is now gone.
BvecchI got the grey one and the red one. The grey one was a little bent but once I pushed down (more than I would like) it felt like it should with no weird noises. Removing it to try the red one took a lot of force. Made me nervous. Red bar had the same issue with noises until I pushed it down super hard. Was a lot easier to remove than the gray one.
kylebakerJust heated it a bit with a blow dryer and straightened it completely and then pushed real hard. Sounds ok now. Still not as perfect as I’d like but it’ll do for now lol
