Clicky keys on Studiologic 990 Pro

Hello KindredSpirit . .   What keyboard do you have?

Sometimes this is like finding a noise beneath your automobile .

I remember having squeaking notes a few times on one of my Fatar keyboards. A squeaking or creaking noise I'd consider different from keys clicking. If you listen closely while you push down the troublesome key very slowly do you hear the sound? If so, it's probably some kind of friction noise, and that's similar to what I had.

There are a number of screws beneath the keyboard, and I believe there are 4-5 on the back. Once these are removed (on all the Fatars I've owned) you can lift the top back, it's on a long hinge. I was able to get rid of the noise on my keyboard by applying lithium grease to friction points beneath the key. Different models have different methods of loosening and removing individual keys. Perhaps there's a guide for this on the internet, or Youtube, but regardless, it's not rocket science, and it can be done with a bit of effort.

Now a clicking sound when the key bottoms out may be something different, perhaps cushioning that has been compressed over time.

There are some folks on the forum who have more experience with the innards of these keyboards than I do, so perhaps some of them will chime in. Good luck!

KindredSpirit,

The sound you mentioned MAY be just the spring inside a key having gotten slightly misaligned. If so, it would simply be a matter or realigning it, which is a pretty simple fix.

I hope you have a great holiday yourself!
