Multiple Lenovo X1 issues

Question

I really love my Lenovo x1 but there has been multiple problems with it so far that hopefully can be resolved, if not I will probably send it in.
1. Backlit keyboard: There is an almost blotchy like lighting. Some parts are really bright, some a dim, some are average and there are some random keys that a just really dim.a
2. Keys are unresponsive: The R and A specifically require alot of pressure to actually work and it gets really aggrivating when taking notes. Many other keys have the same problem such as the G, M, P, I, and some more.
3. The battery is deteriorating: I've had my notebook for about 3 months now, and for the first two months I would charge to 100 and always unplug it  right afterwards. But my Thinkvantage kept saying that my battery's capacity would be at 92% to 90% to 81%. I would occasionaly  perform a reset only to see it drop back down to a low original capacity. So recently I used the "optimize battery health" and kept my battery charged at 50% and always plug it in. It hasn't went down any further from 91% since I reset the gauge but isn't that quite the steep deterioration from only 3 months usage for a battery thats supposed to last for 3 years?
4. Lag time when alternating between the nub's left and right click and the click-pad: At first i wasn't bothered too much by this, but it really stood out the more use the nub's clickers (the left and right click right above the click-pad) following with the click-pad. Everyone knows how the left and right clicks on the click-pad isn't super accurate so i used the ones up top, but the only problem is that when I do click, it require a 2 second pause and within those 2 seconds I cant use the click-pad to move. It gets quite aggravating while surfing reddit or anything for a long time.
5. Dust under the screen: Somehow there has been an accumulation of, what I assume to be, dust. I cant wipe it off and its under the screen and I don't know how to get rid of it.
6. SSD cover: the cover for the SSD is wobbly and it doesnt sit flush with the bevel of the laptop.
7. Lenovo Lid: When I close the lid of the laptop it doesn't seems to sit flat and theres awkard gaps when its closed. Magnet issue?
8. Battery life: I've read that some people get an average of 4hrs for normal tasks, but when I take notes in school I always use the maximum battery life setting in the advanced settings and get an average of 2hrs and 30mins (if I'm lucky 3 hrs). All I have on when taking notes is one note and nothing else. Should I assume my battery is defective (because I've only had it for 3 months).
So yeahhh, should I just send this off to lenovo?

Answer 1

1. This is my backlight keyboard.
2. I think your keyboard problem maybe related, try to take off the keyboard and replug back everything to see whether there is an electrical connection problem.
3. Battery firmware may need to updated.

4. As per above try to reseat the keyboard.
5. That requires disassembly of the laptop top case to remove.
6. hdd cover shouldn't wobble, at least not in the machine that i have seen. 
7. Magnet doesn't keep the entire lid closed only part of it. Where is the gap appearing?
