    The right side of my spacebar makes a squeaky sound every so often and its kind of annoying. It kind of sounds like a bird chirping.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    my guess is get a new keyboard? I don't think you can fix it. New Keyboards $25 but since you have warranty ask Asus to fix it.

    probably a factory defect, try calling the place where you bought it from and get a replacement

    My spacebar had a squeak when it was new, it gradually went away over time (perhaps a week?) and it's never squeaked again. Probably just new plastic.
