I just got a new 27" quad-core iMac less than 2 weeks ago. Which includes the keyboard with the numeric key pad. Now the spacebar is beginning to have a vague squeak. Which can disappear once in a while. It's not a huge squeak. And in some cases you might think it's normal if it were another keyboard. But not with this Apple keyboard. None of the other buttons make this minor squeak. the others are quiet. Is this common with these flat Apple keyboards?
Don't know if I will buy the wireless flat Apple keyboard later. Being that they keys might eventually also exhibit this minor squeak. Can any one recommend good third-party Apple keyboards with Mac shortcut keys (e.g. volume and screen brightness control...etc.).
My Microsoft Win/Mac keyboard works great but is too deep requiring me to pull out my keyboard drawer all the way. Can use it as a standard keyboard but with no Mac functionality. It' better built. Maybe if the squeak gets loud enough I might end up using that.
I hear the squeak when I press the middle of the space bar. If I press on either end it sounds normal.
