Thanks a lot to everyone who participated in my post.

Since I do not play professionally anymore, I followed the advice above and glued a thin piece of leather which definitely feels better than the regular cork I had there before.

Of course, it felt the best without any material at all - the left F/C key action was instantaneous without any spongy feeling at the end.
