Agree with Martin. And you have to work on the border on 256x256 - it
is too thick and blurry :)

The contrast is now good. However, top faces should be brighter the
front faces (see [1]) and darker parts should be towards back. The
shadow feels a little awkward, try moving it closer to the key and less
blurry in 256x256 and making it more blurry in the other sizes.
Note that you can use border to separate the top and front faces but a
really soft one, I think that it would help to have it there after you
fix the top face lighting. Especially in the smaller sizes without the
border it makes the key look taller.
