I've never noticed any creaking from mine, before or after the swap. Any specific pressure/motions you can think of that I should try?

Twist it like an ice cube tray to see if it pops out.

dang it, did it too hard and all the bits fell out.

now I've got 1s and 0s all over the place and it's your fault

Seems like people aren't a big fan of sardonic humor anymore, but I enjoy it. Have an upvote lol

I don't know how statistically prevalent it is, and where you'd get it varies. Sounds great that you don't have to deal with it either before or after.

For me initially it was around the usb port when I press down on it. Nowadays, I get it when I do a twisty motion with both hands while holding it, but I've had it for well over a year, and it has experienced a couple of bumpy falls in the meantime.

Mine creaks when I squeeze the right grip a certain way. Nothing terrible, but noticeable.

[–] ZachAR3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same! In the exact same spot as well (right grip)

Taking the screws out and re-torquing them correctly seems to fix that, at least it did for me.
