    Keycap not straight

    I noticed my F9 keycap is not sitting levelled, when compared to the other function keys. If I press it I can feel it tends to "point" to the lower-left side of the key more. Also it feels more wobbly than the rest of the keys. It does appear to function correctly though. Is this something I...
