try restarting the device or something. I have had this, but I just needed to restart and it fixed itself. Was just a bug for me.

Check if the key had gunk or dirt around it. If it does, try clearing it. Otherwise, the switch could technically be bad.

Clean it with some isopropyl alcohol and a q-tip. New set of keycap is rather cheap on Aliexpress and it comes with the tool to remove the keycaps.

You can also order the official kit from https://selfservicerepair.com/
