Whenever i type a word with an F in it, it feels different to me.
And I proved that by checking few other keys, by pressing on the corners, and found out that f key does not register as easily as other keys when you hit towards the lower left corner of it.
With other keys no matter how extreme corner of it is pressed, it registered, but my f key skips half of the strokes hit on that lower left corner.

Hi,

no doubt that particular key is damaged, poorly seated, etc. You may be able to (very carefully) remove the key cap- try pulling the keycap up gently (or the whole thing will pop off!) from the bottom/south side until you hear it click off- rock it gently from the top/north side if necessary. This simple method will work on most IBM/Lenovo keyboards. Clean underneath the key. Then, try realigning it properly and clicking it back on. I'm just describing the physical removal of the keycap. Fixing/replacing the rubber bumper and white or black plastic mechanism you'll find underneath is quite a bit trickier. If the electronics are damaged, of course that's a whole different story also.

I don't see any difference between the left corner sensitivity of that key and any other key on the T61 KB I'm typing on right now. I have never noticed that on the keyboard of an x60s I have. I doubt whether Lenovo would design an x200 keyboard any differently but who knows.

It is a brand new laptop, I don't think it would be dust or dirt, and I don't eat near my laptop.
I just checked most of the other keys, same problem with Escape key. This time lower right corner of that oversized escape key.
Exact same pressure applied as the lower left corner or upper corners , it does not register as well on lower right.

Call Lenovo for service. The will ship you a new keyboard.
