Sensitive "F" key on new MacBook Air

I just purchased a new MacBook Air and the "F" key is triggered just by my finger resting on it (not having to push down like I do for other keys). I tried compressed air but no luck. It's really frustrating because your finger naturally rests on this key. Any other solutions before I have to bring this back to the Apple store?

No other solutions. This is because it appears to be a mechanical (hardware) issue with the F key. Take it back and try and get a new MacBook Air if you are within the return window.
