Macbook Air keys

Recently my Macbook air keys have been acting up(or lack there of), specific keys like "A" or "delete" which get used quite often do not respond to being pressed. Has anyone had an issue like this and is there a way to fix it myself/get it fixed by someone else? All feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Do you have a warranty? I've heard Apple fixes it.

Even without a warranty, @Littlelaner can just walk into an Apple store and if he can talk at all then they'll replace the key for free. 

 

If you don't want to take that approach, then you can buy a replacement rubber dome and a key with the scissor mechanism. http://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/macbook-air/ (or off ebay)

Really? That's awesome! Thanks for the input, definitely did not know that.
