I bought a brand new MacBook Pro m3 before three months. It works Awesome. But when I put my finger on the Caps Lock key and move my finger forward -backwards, even without a press, the key makes a noise. Can anyone help me figure out why my key makes a noise? Is there any problem?

I don't believe you have a problem. There is a very minimal amount of "play" in the keys and the switch mechanisms beneath them. It's all to do with designed-in clearances and operating tolerances. I can get just about every key on my own keyboards (many) to make some sort of noise.
However, if you're concerned that the noise is excessive and want to have someone evaluate it for you,
you can make a Genius Bar appointment for hardware/software service and support using this link:
