I have a WASD V3 Code keyboard with cherry mx brown switches. Recently I purchased some Tai Hao Olivette keycaps to go along with it. The keycaps work great, except for ONE keycap, and it's the space bar. Just look at the difference in sound.

What is causing it to Tai Hao keycap to sound like crap? I'm trying to emulate the sound from the WASD stock cap. The stock cap has a deep "thock" or "thud" sound while the Tai Hao cap has a squishy rattling noise. I previously ran into an issue with thick PBT keycaps where the keycap would hit the wire, but since the Tai Hao is a thin ABS keycap, I don't think it's the same issue.

I've also lubed the stabilizers using EK MechLube 2, so it's definitely not for a lack of lube on it.
