Apple Extended Keyboard Repair Advice

I have an Apple Extended Keyboard, which works pretty well, except for the W key.

If I apply very little force, it sometimes does not work, maybe two out of ten strokes. If I apply excessive force, it works every time.

What is the recommended way to troubleshoot this type of issue? I removed the keycap, but didn't see anything obvious, such as signs of spilled liquid or excessive grime.

Sadly, the pads often corrode which is the end of the keyboard.

You might find the Silicone Dome is bad, but I have rarely found that as the case Type-F Silicone Dome - Standard
