Keyboard getting ''sticky'' or ''sluggish''..

Hey! Recently bought a MacBook Air m1 and I really like this computer. Used it for a couple of weeks then the keyboard (especially spacebar and the keys on the right of the keyboard) is getting ''sluggish''...When I use air compressor on the keyboard it goes away temporary, then 1 week later the problem occurs again. Is this a normal problem on MacBook Air? I haven't spilled anything on it, I guess it's dust or something getting trapped in the keyboard. But I find it weird that the keyboard on MacBooks are this sensitive..

I know I should take it to an apple authorized service provider to have it checked, but it's not close to me. Which means I have to send away my MacBook and be without a computer for 3-4 weeks, and I got studies and other important stuff so I can't really wait that long...

I appreciate all help I can get. Thanks!

MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

You could get an external keyboard until you have the chance to bring it in.

You can also see if AppleCare called directly has the option to expedite it. I've called AppleCare and asked for expedited service and it was turned around in 36 hours. If you are going through an AASP they may be limited how quickly they can get parts. But the central AppleCare headquarters usually has all the parts.
