Q: Stuck key on 12 inch Macbook keyboard

I wonder if anyone can help me.  The "i" key on the keyboard of my 12 inch Macbook is sticking.  It does not have the same "click" or tactile feedback that the other keys have.  I try to keep the keyboard clean and free of crumbs, dust, etc, however something just doesn't seem right.  Is there a safe way to remedy the problem myself? 

 

Thanks!

Chris

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    I Having the same problem on my H and . Key. Passed to Apple service Centre for warranty in Malaysia, laptop being returned within 3 days and saying no problem. But the problem appeared again on the first day I received the MacBook.

     

    From the form, what the Engineer did was only recalibration and reformat, they not even open the device and check it! (As record in the service form)

    In less than a year, I have had my MacBook 'blown out' and then completely replaced. Both times I had the stuck key problem but the second time there was a really major problem causing the replacement. The problem was the connection between the mother board and the screen. It started trying to turn itself on while the lid was down!!

     

    As for me, a touch typist (avg, 100 words a minute) I fear that keyboards as we know them are on their way out, just like optical drives and the 3.5 earphone jack. Kids aren't being taught cursive any more because they all use keyboards, but what the heck will we do when keyboards don't function?
