    To speak with customer service about a manufacturing defect on a Surface Pro 11 keyboard, start a service or repair request and contact support through official Microsoft channels.

    1. Start a repair/service order online
      1. Go to the Microsoft account Devices page: Microsoft account | Devices.
      2. Sign in with the account used for the purchase.
      3. Select the Surface Pro 11 (or the Surface device the keyboard is attached to) and select Next.
      4. If the device is not registered, select Register device and complete registration.
      5. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a service order for the Surface Pro Keyboard/Type Cover and indicate the manufacturing defect.
    2. If the keyboard still does not work or is clearly defective
      • Follow the guidance in Troubleshoot Surface Pro Keyboard or Type Cover. If the keyboard continues to fail, the article directs to submit a service order for hardware issues such as damaged or non‑responding keys.
      • For keys that are cracked, damaged, or not responding even after cleaning, submit a service order as a likely hardware failure.
    3. Submit a service order specifically for the Surface Pro Keyboard
      1. Sign in to Microsoft account | Select device for service.
      2. Select the registered Surface device or keyboard and follow the prompts.
      3. If the keyboard is not listed, choose Don't see your device? to register it.
      4. Use the serial number printed near the left side or center of the keyboard spine (the area that attaches to the Surface) when registering.
    4. Talk to a representative / in‑person support
      • After starting a service order, support options such as chat or phone callback are presented as part of the workflow.
      • In some regions, in‑person Surface service centers are available. These centers can inspect the keyboard, troubleshoot, and if needed, help send it to Microsoft for repair or replacement. Countries/regions with in‑person support include Australia, China, Japan, Korea (Seoul), New Zealand, United Kingdom, and United States.
    5. If the device is out of warranty
      • Out‑of‑warranty or physically damaged devices may be replaced with a refurbished device under out‑of‑warranty service offers. Availability and pricing depend on country and product.

    For any billing, warranty, or order issues during this process, contact Microsoft Support via the official support site and use the Get Help/Contact Support options to reach a live agent (chat or call‑back) after selecting the appropriate product and category.
