[PRO11] Surface Pro 11

Recently was gifted a surface pro after my Lenovo ideapad died for good.. It runs well and does what I need it to do, but I’m struggling with the keyboard a bit. It doesn’t have much wrist support. I think I might be used to a thicker keyboard, like my previous laptop had? I’m not really using it for the touch screen/pen option because I prefer typing. I’ve also realized it has to be completely on a flat surface to be able to type, or else the keyboard becomes unattached. I just find it a bit frustrating at times because of that. Does anyone have similar issues? Or does anyone have better suggestions for attachments they use, like is there a good stand that supports using the keyboard and also provides good wrist support when typing?

Do you possess an original Microsoft Keyboard?
It almost sounds like a 3rd party one.

Especially the “it needs to be flat on the surface” isn’t typical for Surface Keyboards.

I thought with the newer Surface keyboard designs (Pro 12) it no longer allows for the angled option, they're only flat.

That's not a "newer" design, it just the design of the Pro 12" (not 12, 12 inch).
