Q: Is the surface pro 8 keyboard backlit

A: It is backlit. Because it is battery powered they dont stay lit indefinitely though, once you stop typing they stay on for several seconds, then they come back on when you start typing again.

Q: Is this keyboard compatible to a surface pro 9?

A: Yes, they are the same size.

Q: Is this bluetooth? Can I use it disattached from the surface pro 8 screen?

A: Yes, it is Bluetooth, it does not need to be attached to work.

Q: Are there any Surface Pro 8 cases that work with this keyboard?

A: None that I've have found so far.

Q: do thus support for surface pro 7

A: No

Q: Will this hold a Samsung tablet?

A: No, it will not. Samsung Tablets are much thinner than the SP and the "clips" that hold the tablet are not adjustable. I have a Galaxy Tab S7 Plus and you could almost fit 2 of them in the gap for the SP

A beautiful, double-edged, transformative device.
This keyboard definitely transforms a Surface Pro into something else. Which can easily be classified as something closer to a laptop than a tablet PC. And I think most of those interested in this item will be looking to make that very change. Objectively speaking, for every feature you give up by using this with your Surface Pro, it gives something back in return for better or worse. And the resulting product is something that is just right for certain situations. First off, this keyboard is an absolute unit. And I mean that in every good way possible. The craftsmanship is excellent. It matches so well with the Surface itself in finish, dimensionally speaking, and attention to detail in its general design. The hinge is very stable and the weight of the unit is enough to allow you to fold the Surface pretty far back without tipping it over while it’s resting on a table. The clamps are very secure once the keyboard is installed. The Surface shown here has a protective skin and a screen protector installed which made forcing it into place a little difficult. And in order to make sure I wasn’t damaging either, I had to move it very slow. I would urge that same caution to others as well. If you have a thicker glass screen protector already installed, I do not think this will work. I would advise against this keyboard in that case. And while the clamps add bulk to the overall thickness, and will likely take away the ability to slide this into a perfect slot in a bag, it does add a layer of protection by reducing surface contact in public areas by the gap it creates between the computer and what it’s resting on. That also means it adds a significant amount of protection against liquid spills. And not to mention that gap makes it so much easier to pick up off a table too. This unit does not make a physical electrical connection and must be charged independently with a USB-C cable. This is something that is not provided in the box and I recommend a 1 meter USB-C to USB-C cable to charge it from the Surface to the keyboard while the surface is plugged in with its own charger. That may be the fastest solution. If you use a USB-C cable to charge the Surface already, then I would continue using that and be sure to charge the keyboard when needed. The keyboard itself is impressive. The keys feel very similar to the OEM offering but with the perfect amount of additional travel. And that might be the right area to have an improvement compared to the OEM option with a keyboard of this stature. The additional weight this keyboard adds to me is offset by the extra bounce and responsiveness from the keys and track pad. It doesn’t make it feel flimsy in operation and more like a dead weight. It just feels sturdy and somewhat rugged. I want to complain that there isn’t space for the new Slim Pen 2 to be stored. But the additional internals required to charge it, the resulting reduced battery capacity, potential conflicts between devices, and most importantly…most people buying this will likely not be using a pen anyway are reasons enough to not have this included. Perhaps I lack the perspective, but I just can’t see scenario where using a pen with this keyboard installed would be very useful anyway. Overall, this is an excellent addition to a Surface Pro 8 for someone who is on the go that needs a lot of protection, a more robust keyboard, and wants to reduce contact with surfaces by a considerable amount.

Perfect companion to my Surface Pro 8
I have the Surface Pro 8 and did not like using the magnetic folio keyboard because using the kickstand is hard when on the lap. I have used the Brydge for my Pro 7 and then with the switch to the Pro 8, I needed to get this keyboard. As space is at a minimum at the hospital, having my Pro 8 with the Brydge to use on my lap was essential. Although it adds more weight to your Pro 8 (about 1.5 lbs), I feel assured that it will not tip over. The two hinges secure the Pro 8 snuggly, no fear of scratching the screen. They hinges are also very sturdy and well built and offers 180 degree viewing angles. It is slightly bigger compared to the Pro 7 model, and you really don’t notice the additional space. The keys feel nice when typing, really good travel, backlit keyboard to use at. If by, and a very responsive. touchpad. For full usage over the past 2 weeks, battery life has been excellent and had no need to charge it since I first used it at full charge. Only issue I’ve noticed is the Silver color shows more scuffs. Overall, I’m really excited that I got this for my Pro 8. Well worth it and it does enhance your Surface experience.

Comfortable tactile keys. Track pad responsive.
I've really grown to love the BRDGE over my Pro keyboard. This device uses a standard C charge plug. Mine did not have one in the box as indicated on list of items included. Also missing was the instruction manual. I'm waiting for the factory to send me one of each. Now the good news, it charges quickly, pairs well with my Surface Pro, but has occasionally lost Bluetooth connectivity. Simple to fix since the Surface pro has a touch screen to call up the SERTTINGS app and then reconnect the keypad. I never had this problem with another BRYDGE keyboard, so it may be the PRO's Bluetooth issue. The keys are responsive and nicely back-lit . All the function keys like volume up/down, screen brightness, mute, keyboard brightness (on and off) right on the top row. F-keys are available with use of the FN key on the bottom left. There is a hot key on the lower right which calls up the fly-out list for whatever command or program you are running. A real time saver. It does add a little weight to the PRO but it holds the display rock solid in position and is super easy to insert and remove , and open and close. Super thin hinges are nicely positioned out of the screens real-estate for viewing [email protected] the keyboard and how long the battery stays charged.
