if you contact your vendor about this issue, they would gladly cross-ship you a new keyboard, then you can replace it yourself and send back the squeaky one

...so that you would not have to send in the entire unit

 

is it easy to replace the keyboard?

 

very easy... not screws or anything required really.

I have went over this a couple of times.

Make sure the system is off. Not plugged into AC. Remove battery for precautions.

Its simple for Clevo keyboards. All you need is a basic (small) flat-head screwdriver.
There are 4 pieces of retractable plastic holding down the keyboard.
Look at the picture that I have attached.
Just push the plastic pieces gently upward (toward the lcd screen) which would retract them to release that part of the keyboard. This should only take less than 30 seconds.

After the keyboard is released, you will find a cable under it (connects to motherboard), you can remove it if you want, just remember its position.

Thats it.
