Ducky Shine 2 issue

I just received my Ducky Shine 2 (Green LEDs & black switches) in the mail today. I was very excited as it is my first mechanical keyboard and because i had to wait so long to get it. (it was always out of stock)

However, when recording the backlighting profiles I noticed that the F9 Key (which is used to activate the second lighting profile) does not work well. In order to register, I must push the key completely down and then continue pushing, like pushing the switch into the board.

It isn't a huge issue, but I am a little disappointed.

Has anyone else had a similar issue? and is there any way to fix this?

Pull the cap from F9 and pull one from a working switch .. compare for anomalies;
if you can solder it's easy to replace a switch, might be easier than to send it in;

Thanks, after pushing it several times over the past hour it has oddly seemed to have fixed itself... It must have been just a weak connection or something.

If it ends up not working for good, would all i need to do is re-solder on a new switch in its place?

Since fiddling with the switch solves the malfunction i'd say it's very likely that it's not a controller or such problem. You could have a look at the solder joints of that switch and see if they are ok.
