I was typing something on my laptop when I noticed my 3 key is extremely sensitive. I don't even have to press the key, if there is a minuscule amount of force on the key, it types a 3. I never noticed this until now... Any way to fix it?

Have you tried removing the key and cleaning the contact pad?
EDIT: I took my 3 key off and broke it. Shoot me now.
 
FIX: So I removed the key and stuck a screwdriver under the contact point (slightly through a small hole in the rubber connector and underneath the rubber part all together) and wiggled it around to dislodge anything, and I fixed it! Hopefully this will help anyone else who needs this now or in the future...
