The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
Just call Alienware Techsupport and explain you have some squeaky, loose keys that are bugging you , see if they will just ship you out a new one since its a no brainer to install a replacement.
Which key is it? If it's some key like an "A" which you probably use often then that get annoying really fast.
For example, I use the letter "H" a lot and it was squeaky when it first shipped.
But this is what I did, I found another key that I didn't use often such as the RIGHT ALT key and it just happen to have the same dimension as the "H" key, and I swapped them. Swapping letter keys is as simple as turning on the computer. Couldn't be any easier.
Most likely the issue is not the key itself, but the tiny plastic underneath rubbing against each other that is causing the squeaking noise.
Heat could probably also contribute to the squeak.
But yeah, just swap the key for another key you odn't use often and you'll be set and will forget it ever existed. =)
