Keyboard Type Cover for Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ / Pro 7/6 / 5/4 / 3, 12.3 inch, Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Multi-Touchpad Mouse Rechargeable, 7-Color LED Backlit (Charcoal)

Works as promised

good

Fits and works well with my MS Surface; however, the USB charging cable is too short to my liking - two feet longer would’ve been better. I like the dim lighting and soft keypads on the keyboard. Seems to have a strong, solid case.

I constantly work on my surface pro 7+ just about as much, if not more than my desktop! With that being said there were some additions that I really wanted to upgrade - the keyboard being one of them. I used to always have to carry a spare portable keyboard and mouse whenever I wanted to put my surface pro o a stand, but with this bluetooth keyboard, all I have to do is bring the stand and im good to go! I also plugged the keyboard into my surface pro when using it connected, to always stay charged. One thing to keep in mind when if youre not careful, is if you get heavy into your work and forget to have this plugged in, it can turn off on you! No worries though, just flip the switch off and plug it in for about 30 seconds and turn back on while plugged it to continue using. One thing that would make this absolutely perfect, would be if it had the ability to detect when it is being connected to the surface pro. I get that im asking a lot or a dated surface pro, but that would make it primo. I've since gotten used to it, but it's also be nice to have the same volume layout as the regular keyboard too, as this one makes you hold Fn + up/down arrow, meaning it takes 2 hands to adjust the volume. But other than that its also very light - about the same as the regular surface keyboard, which is really cool because i remember getting one once that was way noticeably heavier. This also comes with a backlight which is super important if youre someone who works at night or in the dark, and you can even change the color and brightness! Overall Id say if youre on the fence, you'll definately be happy you got this!

It should be no surprise to anyone reading this that the type covers that Microsoft sells for its line of Surface devices are abhorrently overpriced. If they weren't, none of us would be here right now, would we? So, like everyone else, I decided to give a third-party replacement type cover a try. The keyboard that came with my Surface Pro 7+ has been through some wear and tear over the years, so I got pretty excited when I saw this pop up on my screen. But I knew right away to temper my expectations. I knew the second that I saw this was Bluetooth keyboard, it wouldn't be the same. Throwing caution to the wind, I decided to give it a try anyway. What do I have to lose? Well, the first thing you lose is the quality the Microsoft one brings. The material on the outside of this one actually isn't bad, but the keyboard is not very good. The keys are very slick and slippery, making a squeaking noise when you run your fingers on them. It types just fine, but it's a clear downgrade from the OEM/Microsoft version. The next thing you lose is a direct connection with your device. This keyboard does not interact with the connectors on the bottom of the Surface, meaning it isn't getting power from the device. So yeah, you have to charge this thing. And the battery does not last very long. I guess you could just leave it plugged in with the included USB cable, but that's a port taken up by something that used to be seamless. You also lose the ability to sleep the device by closing it. This is a feature I used basically every time I turned on my Surface Pro 7+, so losing this is a big deal for me. Surprisingly, the trackpad does work with the typical finger gestures you have come to expect with the Surface, so that's a plus. It also does magnetically fit to the device like normal, but again, no connectivity. Really, I guess your enjoyment of this product is going to be heavily based on if you're willing to give up what makes having a Surface worth it. Yes, this does technically function as a type cover/keyboard, but it loses a lot of what makes an original Microsoft one so great. I hate that the OEM ones are so expensive, but this just does not cut it for me. 3 stars for actually functioning, but I will only keep this as an emergency backup.

This was easy to setup keyboard for my Surface Pro 4! It fits the exact same connector as the original and folds up the same way. And it looks great too! It’s an aftermarket keyboard, so the typing experience is going to be a little bit different than the original. But for the price, this is great deal. All the keys, trackpad, and trackpad buttons worked as expected. The backlight is useful. Setup was easy. Instructions are located on a label on the left palm rest, and a printed copy also comes with the keyboard. This keyboard connects via Bluetooth—not the wired connector pins—so I had to enter in the Bluetooth pairing menu on my surface before I could use this. However, there’s pairing instructions on a label on the keyboard; all I had to do was press the Function button and ‘Z’ to start the pairing process. It was instantly recognized as Bluetooth keyboard, once I choose it, both the keyboard and trackpad (and associated left & right buttons) worked right away.

I selected this to use as a Bluetooth keyboard in a non-standard way, and it has worked beautifully. I have paired this with my Android phone (a Samsung Galaxy S 23+) and I am able to type, use alt-tab to cycle between open items, control volume and previous/next listening to streaming music and YouTube videos. I'm still finding what it can do and I love it. It's solid and durable, has great battery life, and is easy to sync and use. It's a nice size and weight as well, and I love the backlighting options.

I needed something to use to replace the keyboard for my Surface 7 pro since the outer layer "skin" was peeling. It was still seemingly working although it seemed like the mouse pad had a lag at times, so before it completely quit on me I set out looking for new one. There was one listed but the reviews were horrible. This one seemed to be better and so far I am satisfied with my purchase. One thing I have to get used to is this keyboard needs to be charged. So far from the first charge, I haven't needed to charge it again and it has been about 4 days so that's a relief but I would hate to be on the go and in the middle of working and my keyboard battery dies. I love that this has different backlight options. It has your basic red, green blue, it also has purple, yellow, teal, and what I'm sure is the standard white but looks more like a light blue which I don't mind. They all light up pretty nicely, with the ability to lighten or darken the setting of the backlight. You can also turn the backlight off if you choose to do so. The keyboard has instructions but some of it isn't helpful. Not just because it's in a different language but because it just doesn't give all of the needed information, however there are some prompts that come up on screen which help to guide you. The keyboard feels comfortable to use and my fingers glide over the buttons easily without having to revert back due to buttons sticking or just not typing for whatever reason. There were different color options and I choose the sapphire which seem more like an asphalt blue. I'm not a huge fan of the material used because I feel like this was also peel after a bit of usage but that seems to be how the majority of them are made in order for the keyboards to be lightweight so in comparison it's good quality as far is it being well put together and without defects. There are stickers that indicate what some lights are and as long as they remain on the keyboard you should be okay but if they were to ever peel off you may have trouble unless you write on the keyboard or put your own sticker. For the current price I think this is a good purchase since you do get a good value keyboard functioning in all of the ways needed and without any major issues. Most of the concerns or negatives are based on preference and convenience. If you are looking for a reasonably priced replacement and are okay with the above mentioned items then this is a good buy.
