Dreaded broken key on MODX8

When I saw videos of the loud key clicking I hoped it wouldn't happen to me.
But a few keys are making the loud noise. Worse, D#5 feels like it's about to break off. It's leaning at an angle.

I'm gigging every weekend so I'm freaking out.

Has this happened to anyone here and how was it handled?
I purchased from Sweetwater and there's a 2-year warranty. Waiting to hear back. But if they want to repair it, I'm screwed.

35 years of playing professionally and this is the first keyboard to fail me.

Edit: 3-5 WEEKS for repair.

Received the synth back from Sweetwater after nearly a month. Same key broke within 2 days. Normal playing.

Not a professional product. Very sad. Gigs and rehearsals almost every day with no idea what I'm going to do.
Thanks, Yamaha, for lowering your standards
