MacBook Pro 2016 15" butterfly keyboard problem

Hi


On my new MacBook Pro 2016 15", all keys (butterfly) works perfectly - except the enter key. Even though it does work, It doesn't "click" and you can't feel your are pressing it down - it feels like pressing the metal next to it.


It worked fine the first week.


Anybody experiencing this problem?


Thanks

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

Guys, after reading around, I've solved this.


There's so much less space around and under the new keyboard, that dust and little dirt effects the keyboard much quicker. I simply blew fiercely around and under the stuck key, and it promptly worked again.

Same for me, but on a US type keyboard, on a 13" TB model. For me both the enter and the shift key below it feel different than the rest of the keyboard, although the enter is much more noticeable. I thought maybe I've gotten food or something in it, but there really isn't a lot of space around the key for food to get in there. And it's still pretty new, so that'd be very unlucky.
