Customer Ratings & Reviews

I knew I would like this keyboard, but when I finally got my hands on it I was even more satisfied. I was looking for a keyboard to use with my HP laptop, this it was just what I needed. If you’re the same as me, you want a small keyboard to pair with a laptop and want to take it places. It has a nice compact sturdy feel to it and the keys feel satisfying to press. Very easy to use, set up, and small enough to throw in My bag for work or traveling. Keyboard connects back quickly after sleeping, literally less than a second. Definitely would recommend.

I have a SURFACE PRO 3 and PRO 4, with the detachable keyboard. I really enjoy them for the freedom of use. Well one evening I knocked over a cup of water, and unbeknownst to myself at the time of the spill, some water went into my PRO 3. The outcome..... two fold; The first - My keyboard/mouse pad no longer typed or moussed to my PC. The second - I now have bright spots on my PC screen. (see pictures provided.) I like to use multiple screens, but with no active mouse pad I was not able to perform this any longer. First thing I did was purchase an ARC MOUSE designed for MICROSOFT SURFACE PCs. It performed perfectly straight out of the box. Like my PC knew it was there and started asking as soon as I removed the battery blocking tape. I clicked yes to connect with the new ARC MOUSE. SERIOUSLLY....THAT SIMPLE! I don't Know about you, but I HATE TYPING on a virtual keyboard with the connected Bluetooth pen, my finger or even this new mouse. TO DARN SLOW. The mouse ONLY connects to ONE device at a time. That's fine. SO.... I went back to BEST BUY to see if by-some-chance there was a keyboard that would connect via Bluetooth for a MICROSOFT SURFACE PC. Low-and-behold, they did and do. The DESIGNER COMPACT KEYBOARD made by the same manufacturer, I believe. When I removed the battery blocking tape it didn't connect as fast. I actually went into settings to install a Bluetooth keyboard. From that point it was just as simple. The PLUSSES of this keyboard are that it can connect to three separate Bluetooth devices at one time, it's separate nature from the PC and it's compact nature. YOU HAVE TO SWITCH BETWEEN THE 3 DEVICES, but it is as simple as hitting the F1 key(this key has the BLUETOOTH symbol on it and numerals 1,2,3 in a vertical stack. Each numeral has a light by it to notify you of the particular device connected and active. I recently purchased a SAMSUNG smart TV which allows Bluetooth devices to connect. Both the ARC MOUSE and the DESIGNER COMPACT KEYBOARD connected easily. This was the point at which I found out that the mouse will only connect to ONE device at a time, The DESIGNER COMPACT KEYBOARD works exquisitely with my TV, but even better with my SURFACE PRO. The DESIGNER COMPACT KEYBOARD fulfills my expectations and enables me to sit away from my PC utilizing my new SAMSUNG TV and an older HDMI connected TV as UHD and HD monitors, AND to use exclusively with my SAMSUNG and its various applications(no PC involved). The power switch on the back of the DESIGNER COMPACT KEYBOARD is actually in the off position when the FLORESCENT ORANGE color is visible. Off when no color is visible. This is disconcerting... or was at first.(see photos provided)

Easy to use, makes it possible to use a tablet type setup with laptop. You can see it in the lower part of photo. Could sometimes be a little glitchy with my old Surface Pro, but seamless so far with new Windows 11 Lenovo Yoga 9i.

Big things do come in small and well designed packages. Whoever coined that phrase had to be thinking about the small but huge designer keyboard. I mean this sweetheart can date three (3) devices in one studio session. Nice real nice.

Very light, keys have a very low noise. Seamlessly connect to three devices

Excellent keyboard. Has a great short throw, solid buttons that don't wobble. Here is the big catch... It is *not* a wired keyboard as it says in the description. It is Bluetooth only! Big difference. It also takes CR2032 batteries, which is an odd choice but helps keep the compactness of the keyboard.

Nice keystroke, deeper than Apple Magic Keyboard, fits in my slim computer case. Doesn't work with MacOS tho.

I have another bluetooth keyboard but it uses a USB connector. I wanted a keyboard that was completely wireless free, no connecting. Easy to use. The keys are comfortable, a soft touch. I also travel so the size is great. It says you can use on multiple computers. I have not tried that but I do plan on doing so soon.

This is exactly what I needed - it's a literally perfect design so I don't give a cahoot about the price being a little high. It's a perfect pair with the Surface Book. I actually use that device as a tablet most of the time to take notes and I'm too lazy to flip the screen back over so this keyboard is very convenient. I liked the look of the Apple Magic Keyboard for years but I actually prefer the rounded edges of this one - it's softer on the hands. I don't mind that it is all plastic since it feels soft...almost velvety? The keys are snappy and it's very comfortable typing on this. It is lightweight, much better than the Logitech K380 (which had very mushy keys and was of such a weird, slightly juvenile shape that I couldn't get used to it), and good for on-the-go. Despite being white, it hasn't dirtied or scratched inside my bag and that's pretty good seeing as I don't really take care of my things. The slim profile that makes it fit well in a cramped backpack is thanks to the innovative design with coin batteries, and it seems like the battery life will last a long time. It's more convenient throwing a pack of coin batteries in my backpack just in case I run dry while I'm out, than being stuck having to charge right when I need the keyboard (and then the battery gets worse over time...). Of course the option to pair to 3 devices is also convenient and works seamlessly - you need to hold for a second, which prevents accidentally hitting that button. Lastly - very cool addition of the screen snip and emoji button. I don't use the emoji one that much but screen snip is much appreciated. The only detail I am minorly inconvenienced by is how the power switch is on the underside, so you need to flip it over to turn it off. But given the slim profile of this thing I get why it needs to be there. Anyway, I hope you guys never stop manufacturing this device because if I need to replace mine and it's discontinued I might cry and go off-grid in the Swiss Alps forever.

Great compact, basic keyboard that pairs easily. Good battery life.

I love this keyboard, it's been about a year now since I have purchased it. I have been using it exclusively on one laptop and I do turn the switch Off so the battery won't be depleted or so I think. so far, I have not had to change the battery and it's been very responsive, I love how slim and compact it's and I honestly don't have any Cons to say about it except maybe I wish it was a bit wider to fit both hands more comfortably, but it's not an issue so far. I'd buy it again.

Very compact and paired easily with my computer. Great for working from home where I don't have the same large desk space as I do in my office. I'm taking off a star because occasionally there is a slight lag.

I initially purchased this keyboard to replace an older Microsoft Surface keyboard that the letters had faded from. I loved how sleek and compact it made my office feel. Unfortunately my company that I work for did not allow bluetooth devices to be added to their laptops so I ended up returning to the store as this device is completely wireless (which was the whole point of me buying-I hate the wires) so there was no option to connect it wired or with a usb fob. I would have otherwise loved this device because I did try it out before returning on my personal laptop and it worked flawlessly.

I'm very glad I took a chance and bought the Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard. Since adding a Cintiq 22 to my desk top there wasn't much room left over for a full sized keyboard. In the past I've had no luck with wireless and Bluetooth devices. They either gave me connectivity headaches or caused major issues with my Wacom devices and graphics arts software. So, I had all but given up on using any wireless peripherals until I saw this keyboard. I admit I was put off by the price at first. Was it going to be worth spending $70 for what could be just another glorified doorstop? Thankfully, I was able to take advantage of a nice sale price at Best Buy and decided to "take a chance"- and I'm glad I did! The Compact Designer Keyboard is perfect! It fits the space I have left on my desk perfectly and is working seamlessly. I've not experienced a single lag or connection drop. My software is performing normally as is the Cintq 22. The only issue I had at first was adjusting to the different size and touch compared to my old keyboard. But that only lasted for a day or so. I can honestly say that this device is the perfect solution for anyone who needs a smaller keyboard for whatever reason!

The Microsoft Designer Compact Wireless Keyboard in Matte Black is a real winner. It's sleek and compact, fitting perfectly on my desk. Typing feels comfortable and quiet, and the wireless connection is solid. The matte black finish adds a touch of elegance. Overall, it's a stylish and functional keyboard that's great for everyday use.

My favorite keyboard I've owned. Looks like the Apple keyboard and honestly feels a bit nicer. I love how easy it is to switch between devices. The size and layout is identical to the keyboard on my laptop.

Keyboard is great and three easy connections. I can switch between Macbook to windows in one click which is really great. Very compact and light weight. Loved it, Recommending for all.

Love the typing experience of this compact, stylish keyboard. I bought two right away, one for home and one for work. Able to switch between connected devices with a key press is also a big point for me!

better than I expected. I was looking for a keyboard for my iPad (compact, light, and durable) that could work with my pc at the same time, this one accomplishes everything that I need with a beautiful design.

Nice little keyboard that is perfect for traveling. Easily connects with Bluetooth. I do a lot of traveling and one of the things that I often wish I had was an actual keyboard. This fits into that gap. The only reason I give it a 4 star and not a 5 is that it is made of plastic and not the same material as my “office” keyboard, the Microsoft Surface keyboard. That is just a preference of mine and I want to make sure everyone is aware that it is not the same material. It however works great and is a wonderful typing experience.
