Hi, is there anybody happen to this issue? My control key is broken after 10 months. I am a developer, I seldom use mouse, I often use the keyboard, like ctrl+arrow, ctrl+tab, ctrl+F4, ctrl+W, ctrl+alt+L, ctrl+shift+E, and so on. It's about more then 500 times I click the control key each day.
China ms has changed a new keyboard for me last year, and the control key is broken again after 10 months. And the refuse change it again for me.
That's np, the real problem is even they change a new one for me, the control key will be broken again after 10 months.
I guess the keyboard material is not good enough for me to click it more then 500 times each day.
Surface book is really a good product, I really hope it will be perfect, I like surface book II, too.

As a matter of fact, Microsoft support always claim that warranty does not apply even if several people do have the same exact problem with their Ctrl key.
I am turning to social network, for instance the Surface Books Instagram pages, to claim this design and warranty issue.

There is definitely a design issue on this computer because a Ctrl key who breaks after three months is just intolerable.
Still, the support claim the warranty does not apply.
Warranty is only a selling point with no content when a real design problem occurs.
They should go into crash test with this hardware with a robot pressing continuously the Ctrl key. I am sure the key will break even faster than the three months on my keyboard.
I already posted some comment on the Surface Book Instagram page and I will go back there.
