Type in capitals, I hear that helps.
Take it back to apple?
Is it under warranty?
Try not to hammer the keys so hard?
If it's the old white/clear plastic style keyboard, pop the key off and see if there isn't dirt clogging it up

Make an appointment....
If this is your Alum MB, you need to take it to the Genius Bar. They told me the day after Thanksgiving (there with a Super Drive issue) that they are directed to "capture" any new alums with key or display issues that are failing. They give you a replacement and return your laptop to Apple. This is provided you bought a stock configuration. If it was specially configured, then you have to call Apple Support and make arrangements... you send it back they send you a new one.
Given the cost of your investment, I wouldn't hesitate. Just back your jazz up. or have the Genius' transfer it. Good luck and let us know what happens.

If you spilt water onto it and its got onto one of the water testing cards that's on the inside of the MB, it'll void the warranty and they won't repair it for free, you'll be charged.
But i bought mine from bestbuy.... and there was SOO little water and it was like 2 weeks ago...im just saying that that happened...you really think that could be it? I dont think so....and I barley press the keys hard. But what s about this malcfunctioning of keyboards and genious bar will give tu a new oeeene?
