Hi mkaane,


Take a moment to restart your Mac and then confirm if the issue persists.


If it does, then start your Mac up into safe mode and test again:


If you notice the same behavior, does the physical key feel stuck or "mushy" or perhaps like something is stuck under it? If it does, then it's probably something Apple Support would need to take a closer look at.


Let us know the results and we'll continue based on those details.


Cheers!
