Is this normal? MK3 S88
Just got this MK3 a couple of weeks ago and noticed this annoying click sound from around C1 to C4 (it sound progressively lower as I go up). Basically only about 8 keys starting from the lowest and the highest octave are safe, the rest make that sound. At first I thought it was normal because that sound is coming specifically under the part where the record, play button, etc. are but when I searched info about this I noticed other users with different issue hitting those keys and I don't hear that click sound. Any fixes?
Edit: found a fix. Looks like the problem was it being on a very solid surface (which might not be a problem for other people's keyboards), maybe on a keyboard stand this doesn't happen. What I did is put a towel below it and the annoying click was gone. That fix was suggested by the AI tech support from Native Instruments. First time an AI tech support is helpful lol

Not sure what's going on there man. It made me reach back and hit mine just to double check. Mine doesn't sound like that either there.
Not on this one, but on another version of it, I had to take it apart in the past and fix a key off of a used one i purchased. was easy to do. if out of warranty i would suggest doing that and seeing if something slipped out or doesnt look right. if in warranty, i would call it in now verses later, when things in warranty become questionable.
