I also found the haptics to be a bit much, but after opening it up to switch around the scrollwheel cover, I noticed that it was significantly less jarring. I think that the screws were just a touch loose from the factory and that resulted in the case resonating, making it sound harsh and cheap. Try tightening the screws a bit (gently as to not break the case or strip the screws) and see if that helps in the meantime.
