Saturday I had done a rare deep clean of my desk — including my keyboard.
I gave it a light tap, the key popped back up to its normal position, and hk -w started working as expected.
Whenever I clean a keyboard, it is customary for me to open a test app afterwards and press all the keys to make sure they work. That said, whenever I'm cleaning a keyboard it usually entails a full keycaps-off disassembly, but nonetheless I think it's always a good idea to go through a full function test afterwards.
If you have a keyboard that runs QMK firmware[0] with the VIA[1] feature enabled[2], then there is a convenient testing app available from the same place you customize your keys [3].
