My original one squeaked. I took the spacebar key out (watch for the little springs so they don't pop out), sprayed some WD40 where the metal tabs slide, and put it back together, no squeak. Try that. Don't over spray the oil though. I did that cause I was pissed at the squeak, and that's why it is now my original keyboard, the spacebar key seems to have gotten the WD40 somewhere in the contact, so I returned it for another. Just put a little =)
