I picked this keyboard up last week after deciding against the Tesoro Gram XS mechanical chiclet style keyboard, I really wanted to get a mechanical chiclet but the quality is just not there yet, but I have no regrets moving from a Razer Deathstalker chiclet keyboard to the Strafe, the response in games is so much better, my only issue is the spacebar is louder than the rest of the keys but overall there's not much difference noise wise compared to my deathstalker and the lighting is great, coupled with my logitech G903 this is an awesome setup.

@Inquisitor
?
only 2 things are "noisy" on a mech KB, the switch itself, and when the key bottoms out.

both can be "avoided" and not just since this KB came out (getting a non-clicky switch like red/brown) and putting o-rings on the keys to prevent them from hitting the frame.

so...

I hope they fixt those silent mx switches cause i'm on my second rgb strafe already and this one also has 7 keys double tapping.
I'm not ggonna send it back because it tookk 3 months to replace the first one :(
I wish there was a way to fix it myself damn it.
Never ever i'm gonna buy this again PPERIODD

If the chatter is being caused by a faulty switch they're pretty easy to replace yourself. You'll need to open up to board, desolder and remove the offending switches, and then solder in replacements. However, the problem could also be caused by a fault in the PCB itself, which would require an RMA.

Probably some rattling in your stabilizers. Pull your spacebar, then lift the stabilizer mount with a pair of tweezers and apply some silicone lube to the sides of the slider with a toothpick. You can't fix it completely without removing the switch, lifting the stabilizer assembly, and lubing the portion where the bar clips into the housing too, but just lubing the housing should help a bit.
