he's joking..
This is known as the Cherry MX - PING.
It is due to the spring vibrating either before/ during/ or after a keystroke.
Common issue.
If you MUST fix it, Getting another replacement switch will fix the problem.
You "can" just get a new spring, but don't do that.
BECAUSE.... you have to desolder the switch to swap out the spring anyway.. Might as well just change the whole thing.

:( thank you for the help!
I thought that changing spring doesn't require desoldering...
Requires removing the switch top. If the switches are plate mounted then it isnt possible to remove them without desoldering, unless you have a custom plate already installed (which would still require you to desolder them all at least once).
On the Quickfire Rapid the switches are LOCKED down. So you have to desolder the whole switch to get at the springs.

is it true for filco too?
yes it's true for filco also. they're the same design and OEM. Filco uses a better PCB that holds up to soldering better than the Quickfire.. But if you're quick about it... it's not so bad..
You WILL need a desoldering pump with the quickfire.
If you use desoldering braids, there's a greater chance you'll damage the pcb by overheating.
Swapping out the switch is not Guaranteed, because the new switch you put in could possibly ping as well..
What you want to do is TEST the switch before you solder it down..
You would obviously need to buy Multiple switches to ascertain that you have enough that do not ping.
I estimate about 1/10 has some ping, 1/30 has SERIOUS ping 1/100 literally RATTLES the ****znatch
