If it's only 2 months old, why not make use of your warranty?

No, it's because it is a giant picture instead of the text sig you used to have.

Why would I care where the pic is?

Same thing happened to the "c" on my rosewill.  It wouldn't come out unless I hit it multiple times.  Then I removed the cap to check the switch, put the cap back on and it wouldn't come out at all after that.

I don't care about the stupid warranty. Things like that should not happen that soon with a filco (at least that's what i thought).

What's the point of buying expensive boards if they break that easy?

1) Remove the keycap and blow compressed air into the switch

2) If that doesn't work you could try lubricatant as well.

3) If it still doesn't work, use the warranty.

And no it shouldn't happen on a premium keyboard.  Did you even get a key puller with your Filco?  A lot of folks don't these days.  I guess Filco isn't what it used to be.

Ironically, that's what the warranty is all about. If everything were perfect, we would all be Gods by now, and Filco would be a Keyboard Paradise.

Typical bathtub curve behavior. Stuff mostly fails when it's either very new or very old.

That aside, resoldering the keyswitch in question is likely to fix this particular problem.
Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).
