I have encountered yet another possibility on my ESC key: the hollow square post
coming up out of the keyswitch has a split down one side. When the keycap
is pressed down into the post, it causes it to spread. Then when the key is
pressed, it binds near the bottom of the travel. 

How did I fix it? I didn't. For now I'm living with the problem and looking
for a solution. (ESC gets used pretty frequently in EMACS 8-( ).
