Well......oiling may help. The pinky keys represent a lot of mechanics. The paddle keys on the left tend to be more prone to getting a little mechanically sloppy. IF oil will help it will be the two axles for the two long paddle keys for the Left Pinky. Unscrew the axles from their posts and pull them out. Wipe them off on a paper towel. Put a line of key oil (I would recommend the Hetman Heavy key oil ....... especially when trying to quiet things down) along each axle:

Then put them back into the posts (you may have to jiggle the paddles a bit upon re-inserting the axles to get all the holes to line up).
There could be some jiggle in between the posts that hold the key cups but that's an operation that requires a bit more surety in the process.
