Considering that the k70 isn't hotswappable, you would need to take everything apart and desolder the switch.

To isolate your issue, pull out the keycap and press directly on the switch. If the switch does work as intended, then it may be an issue from 2 causes:

  1. Improper installment of stabs/factory flaws (not soldered evenly, or maybe slightly bent to begin with).
  2. Bent keycap, which could then pull on the two sides of the stab unevenly.
