Microsoft Surface Pro Signature Keyboard – Black

This seller sold us this Surface keyboard which did not work with several Surfaces we had at our school. Their return policy is as follows:

“Thank you for your shopping with us.

Please check our return policy carefully:

If you did not open the box and unuse the item, I will just charge the shipping fee.

If you used and We can not resell, We will charge up to 50% restocking fee.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best”

They charge a 50% restocking fee and will not refund the shipping fees if box is opened. So effectively they can keep sending out defective products and keep 50% of the profit with no consequence. Do not purchase from this seller.

Highly recommended

Ms key board is no Comparison with after market Bluetooth keyboard.
Very happy funcion very nicely and very good price. Thank you

La superficie del teclado tenía un pequeño rayón que estaba dispuesta a ignorar pero al momento de conectarlo a la surface 8, descubrí que tampoco se conecta. Simplemente no da señales de vida aunque seguí todas las recomendaciones de microsoft. Lo voy a devolver

Well first thing I have to say, I had a Surface Pro 3 before this Surface Pro 8, and I used an aftermarket keyboard on the Pro 3. It was through BT only and had to keep that charged separately. Now with the Pro 8 I went with the official Surface Pro keyboard. I really do like this better than my other one. Once it is connected it is just like a normal keyboard where you can hit the F keys during bootup. You can’t do that with a Bluetooth keyboard. I also don’t have to turn the keyboard off when I am done either like with the aftermarket BT ones.

Pros:

1) No need to charge the keyboard – gets the power from the Surface
2) When you close the keyboard, it uses magnets to hold it shut.
3) Protects the screen when it is closed
4) Keeps the Slim Pen always charged and ready – no more looking for the pen with the holder
5) Large touchpad
6) Keeps the Slim Pen secure

Cons:

1) Price is a bit high, and pen is not included
2) Attracts TONS of dust as you can tell by pictures – Also it is not easy to get the dust off
3) Timeout for the backlight – haven’t found anything to increase how long it stays on yet if it is even possible.
4) Pen can be tough to remove from holder. Don’t get me wrong it is not really hard. Just with the magnets if you don’t get a hold of it, it can get pulled back into the holder. But on the plus side if the pen is on the keyboard in the corner like in the pictures it is also held down by magnets.

All in all, I am glad I purchased this keyboard for the Surface Pro 8. I like the feel of the keys when I press them. and you can hear the clicks when you are typing. But that doesn’t bother me at all to me it just feels like a solid keyboard. I took off the one star just because of how much dust it collects, and with it having a fuzzy texture it is impossible to remove the dust also.

I hope this review helps you in your decision on this keyboard. If it does plese click the helpful button.

Protege a tela, resistente, mas achei o teclado meio ruim e barulhento

Es muy práctico y fácil de emparejar
