Surface Laptop keyboards are renowned for their excellent typing experience, but issues can arise. This guide covers common problems and repair solutions in Malaysia.

### Common Surface Laptop Keyboard Issues

**1. Keys Not Responding**
Single or multiple keys stop working, often due to dust or debris underneath.

**2. Sticky Keys**
Keys feel sticky or require extra force, typically from spills or accumulated grime.

**3. Repeated Characters**
A single key press registers multiple times, indicating switch failure.

**4. Keyboard Not Detected**
Entire keyboard unresponsive, often a connection or controller issue.

**5. Backlight Problems**
Backlight not working or uneven illumination.

### Surface Laptop Keyboard Design Challenges

**Alcantara Fabric**
Earlier Surface Laptops feature Alcantara fabric around the keyboard, which can stain and wear over time.

**Integrated Design**
The keyboard is integrated into the top case assembly, making replacement more involved than standard laptops.

**Precision Engineering**
Microsoft's quality standards require careful handling during repairs.
