So I have this MSI gt70 with a steelseries keyboard, and since yesterday the spacebar has been making a squeaky noise when I touch it on the left-ish side.

I'm kind of afraid of taking the key off though, and even if I'd take it off I wouldn't know what to do

the thing is, if I blow under my keyboard it will stop making the noise for about half a minute but eventually it will start doing it again after pressing it many times.
 
Pry the Spacebar off your keyboard. You can use a pen or the handle of fork or somesuch.

With a damp cloth simply clean the underside of the Spacebar and the recess of the keyboard beneath the Spacebar.

Do not use any solvents to clean the keyboard. Try to keep it to water and a small amount of hand-soap if necessary.

Make sure to dry everything thoroughly afterwards.

That should solve your problem.
