Seemingly out of nowhere, the B key on my keyboard is giving me trouble. It has not stopped working outright, rather it works only when pressed specifically in the upper left hand corner. Pressing hard on any other part of the key does nothing. Is there a setting that does this? Are there multiple sensors on the keys?
Is this a good question?

No there is only one switch element.
Apple has a known issue with the new butterfly keyboards used in this system. You'll need to get your system to an Apple Store to have them replace the keyboard. Frankly, it should be covered under extended warranty but it's not presently. Ideally, you want to have AppleCare + as its quite expensive.

@Naufal Anggara - Apple did the right thing! Here you go Keyboard Service Program for MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro
Time to visit an Apple Store or Authorized service provider! Its a free repair!

Is there any requirements for keyboard conditions? Because mine is a little damaged

You really don't have much of a choice here ;-{
If your lucky Apple will do it for free! If they think you mucked around with the keys then its possible they could deny you.
Unlike the older 2015 model while hard you could replace the keyboard. The butterflies are just impossible! So you'll end up needing a full uppercase assembly $$$$
