Key presses were often not registered, even though the button felt like it was being pressed correctly. The problem was especially noticeable when pressing on the far right side of the spacebar. The problem is that sometimes the (single) HW-switch, centered under the space bar, is not depressed far enough.Instead of wasting time trying to get a replacement keyboard, I decided to try to fix the problem myself. Here is the procedure which solved the problem for me.
Use it at your own risk.Step 1: Remove the space bar from the keyboard.Under the key a number of plastic clips attach to two metal rods. Carefully lift a corner of the key with a small knife or similar, and carefully pry loose the clips one by one. The image below shows the parts and mechanisms. Step 2: Add a few layers of tape to the center area of the loosened space bar.The idea is to make sure the switch under the space bar will be depressed a few fractions of a millimeter more on every key press. Five layers of tape did it for me:Step 3: Reattach the space bar to the keyboard.Align the plastic clips with the metal rods, and gently press the key down until it snaps into place.

Fixed my problem.I also reinstalled drivers, did a factory reset (wiping out everything, currently installing all my games and apps again), and the keyboard (surface type) didn’t work at all. I tried out new keyboards at a best buy, nothing worked.
The two button reset saved me from sending this guy back to MS.
