Key Pressing Soft:

Does it do its job when you use the key? There could be some debris in there. Using compressed air, you may be able to get the debris out.

Get this Serviced:

Is this covered by AppleCare+? If so, removing the key would void you warranty. So, I recommend you get this serviced, having a technician do it for you:
