You do not say what exact Mac /model /year /size /retina /touchbar is this
or
what exact macOS you are currently running?
see if you qualify: https://support.apple.com/keyboard-service-program-for-mac-notebooks
You can try rebooting, you can Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
If the issue continues you can trouble shoot further:
Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
