Customer Ratings & Reviews

Must have accessories for the surface tablet. Quality and feel are great. Pen and keyboard work flawlessly with the surface tablet. If you buy an aftermarket potective case it can sometimes cause the magnetic attachments to misalign, but that is a case problem not a keyboard problem.

I love this cover SOOO much. Neutral has always been my thing and this was perfect to compliment my PC.

Love this product. Super easy to use and To attach. Great quality product. My children have used this thing for a few years now. And it is still in great operating condition. And I have 6 young children that this product has survived

This is a very good product, its very convenient for professional on the go.

I’d consider the Surface Keyboard at the very least to be an essential accessory for the Surface Pro. I’d say that for the pen as well, but to a lesser degree. Together these things help complete the Surface experience and both are very well made and integrate very well with the Surface. The keyboard feels natural to type on and propped up on a desk with the Surface it’s very stable. It’s a little bit less so on the lap, but still doable. It attaches magnetically to the bottom of the Surface and it does not come out without a considerable amount of force, which is good. The keys have what I feel is just the right amount of travel and feel well spaced. The trackpad works well and supports all of the standard Windows gestures, though the ‘click’ feels louder than it needs to be for me and I do wish it was a little bigger. The fabric that covers it all looks nice and so far has held up well against fingerprints and stains. The pen rests in a storage area at the top that can be hidden away when angled up into the Surface. It also charges there as well. It’s held in magnetically and is very secure, so much so that I actually had some difficulty even getting it out until I realized I could press downward on the tip to pop the other end out. The pen is comfortable to hold and lends itself well to writing and sketching. And there’s lots of features built into Windows to help utilize it. If you’re buying a Surface, it’s pretty much a given that you should also buy this. I do think it’s a little expensive for what it is, but overall it’s a worthwhile purchase.

The Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition and Pro Keyboard pair perfectly with my new Surface Pro 11. Although thin and light, it feels sturdy. The magnetic connection to the tablet is strong and never feels like it will fall off. The keys have a much better feel to them than I would have expected from such a thin keyboard. This is a full function keyboard (minus the numbers pad) and even has backlighting for the keys (wasn't expecting that). The trackpad works beautifully although it is a bit small (to be expected with this form factor). The magnetic charging stall for the pen is perfectly located to keep it handy, charged and secure. As for the pen, it has plenty of customization available and works very well. It glides with ease across the screen. Using it for writing, note taking and creative uses works perfectly. Back to the keyboard, I have it in the sage (gold) color that matches my Surface Pro 11. I'm not sure I'm sold of the fabric-like material of the keyboard. Can't help but think it will get dirty easily. But, that's a wait and see thing and a minor issue if it happens at all. If you have a compatible Surface Pro, this keyboard and pen combo is a must have.

NOT bluetooth capable, good quality, excellent condition

The Surface Pro is truly an excellent 2-1 device but anyone with a tablet that has the power of some of the best computers knows that they are truly fully formed when you have a keyboard accessory. And the official Microsoft Surface Slim Pen and Pro Keyboard is far and away the best choice to be made! PROS: - Opening this up, it looks fantastic. It’s light, it’s super slim, it’s portable, and it just has a premium feel to it. And setup is you just snap it to the Surface Pro and you are ready to go! - The keyboard itself is really great. It provides and excellent typing experience as it types smoothly and with nice quick response. The spacing on the keys is well done and all in all I really like it! - The trackpad is also a necessary and excellent feature! Optimal size with easy controls and smooth operating as well. - I will also add that I like how the keyboard can lay completely flat and be typed on or be up at a 20% angle or so to type. Gives it nice versatility along with being a cover for the screen itself when you have it closed all together. - The Pen is excellently made, really well done craftsmanship on it. It feels great in the hand, has precision on the screen, and nice built in touch controls as well. It stores safely into the keyboard itself and makes it much more secure than being attached to the outside somewhere instead. CONS: - Really none I can think of! All in all a great experience. BOTTOM LINE: - If you buy the Surface Pro, this is simply the best accessory you can have and the one you should have. It’s a perfect keyboard, provides even more versatility, the pen brings it to the next level, and it all comes in a sleek package. This keyboard is a no brainer!

This Microsoft Surface Pro Keyboard with Slim Pen is a worthy companion for the Surface Pro tablet. The Dune color is modern and stylish. Attaching this keyboard to the tablet is an effortless procedure; the magnetic edge just snaps right on securely. The keyboard is ultra thin, keeping the profile of the Surface Pro when connected to this keyboard, nice and slim. However, while well made, the keyboard does seem rather "inexpensive" which it certainly is not, price-wise. I'm not quite sure about the surface texture of this keyboard. While the keyboard itself is comfortable to type on, and is instantly responsive, the way the Alcantara surface material feels, simply isn't to my liking. It's a preference thing. Typing on the keyboard does feel good; each key press is fluid and smooth. There is even a dedicated Copilot+ key making it super convenient to access those cool AI features of the Surface Pro tablet. The Slim Pen took a bit of getting used to, though not long, it was just different than any of the other tablet pen/pencils I've used previously. Drawing with the pen was easy enough (even with me being left-handed) once I got acclimated to how it felt in my hand, and how it glided across the surface of the Surface Pro tablet's screen. There is a recessed slot to keep the pen so it's right there handy, and charged. Bottom line - This keyboard does what it needs to, both with optimal responsiveness, while also protecting the screen of the tablet. It is slim in design, highly portable, and a perfect compliment to the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet.

The ability to keep the keyboard connected to the Surface Pro is both an advantage and a disadvantage to me. The keyboard doesn’t need to be charged, but that also means it needs to be attached at all times if typing is required. As a result, this form factor can feel restrictive in terms of where it can be set up such as on tables that aren’t too narrow or on certain sitting positions. KEYS: They have a nice tactile, responsive feel overall - although presses can feel a little stiff - sometimes I found myself typing louder and with more force as a result. Also when typing with the Slim Pen 2 tray folded and the keyboard is raised, typing feels a little hollow. However, I personally missed having some dedicated media play/pause buttons, and I found the up/down arrow keys to be really small. On the plus side, the touchpad feels good DESIGN: I got it in Dune. The keyboard is pretty light, and the fabric on the exterior side is nice. It makes the device seem less cold/icy and blends in or even complements furnishings, but the interior not so much. I believe it has a different texture than the outside (inside was less soft, a little more plastic-y, perhaps as a deterrent to sweat staining or something). The keyboard is advertised as ‘Covered with luxurious Alcantara material’, but for some reason the interior reminded me of a cardboard egg carton, particularly around the raised edges surrounding the keys. The key colors look a little plain. The magnets/connection points are secure and they won't detach unless you want them to (ask me how I know - the tablet’s kickstand slid off a small side table but I caught the keyboard and the magnet connection prevented it from falling.) PEN: Being able to have the Slim Pen 2 stored on the keyboard and charged is one of the best things about this keyboard. This is my first time using a pen to edit photos so I can’t make too much of a comment about it, but overall it felt much better than using a mouse or touchpad. The eraser on the end is a nice touch in addition to the clickable button. Handwriting recognition is also pretty good, when the words are written clearly. One thing to note - the pen’s pinned apps are limited to 4 programs of your choice at a time which felt like that could be a little frustrating. The pen is also light, almost like a plastic toy, but once the haptics start, it feels more like a real tool. I appreciated the staff paper in the journal app which would be perfect for musicians who can use it to compose or jot down musical ideas. OTHER THOUGHTS: One disadvantage for me was the folding upper section of the keyboard where the Slim Pen 2 is stored - trying to move the tablet+keyboard combo one handed around felt a little scary and messy since the folding section where the Slim Pen is stored can pop open and cause the keyboard to flap around in the air. In the end, without a keyboard, the Surface Pro’s full potential is limited for sure, but I did find myself checking to see what the other keyboard alternatives were.

The thing that stood out to me immediately when I started using this was how unexpectedly good the typing experience was. For essentially a glorified tablet cover, it provides a shockingly good typing experience. It's quite a bit stiffer than I was expecting, and the key action feels pretty good as well. It's somewhat uncomfortable and inconvenient if you aren't on a flat, hard surface. Trying to use it on your lap, for example, is a very uncomfortable experience - it's almost impossible to have a comfortable typing position without the tablet falling off your lap. With that in mind, if you can afford to spend the extra cash, I would go for the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard - it's a fully wireless option. You'd be able to have the device sit to the side or in front of you while you type from your lap. Lets you have a lot more flexibility in usage. One nice feature is that the Fn key is more of an Fn lock. The top row of keys defaults to the device controls such as brightness, volume, mute, keyboard backlight, et cetera; but pressing the Fn key makes the row act as function keys - and they continue to act that way unless you press the Fn key again to switch back. There's a little light on the key to indicate which one is currently active, although if you aren't actively typing the light will turn off after a bit and then it can get a bit confusing. The trackpad is rather small, it seems as though there's some space they could still make use of to increase the size at least a bit. It functions well, though. Pretty hefty click, a bit odd feeling but not an issue. As for the pen, I can't say too much about it as I'm planning to use it to take notes for the upcoming semester and haven't had much time to use it, but I do have a bit to say. It feels alright in the hand, the weird oval shape doesn't feel super great but it's fine. Haptics are an interesting feature, unless you're an artist (honestly maybe even then) it's a bit gimmicky, although pretty cool. Buttons function great. One complaint I have is that there's a sticker with all the regulatory info on the side, and when holding the pen the edge of the sticker makes my hand itch. Can easily be removed, but it shouldn't have to be. The alcantera material feels pretty good, but I am a bit worried about if it'll start to "fray" or something after using it for awhile, and how quickly it'll get dirty. So far so good but it hasn't been that long.

The Pro keyboard is arguably a necessary accessory for the Surface Pro. Not only does it help protect it, but its minimal footprint makes it an easy addition to the Surface Pro. They keyboard feels excellent to use, thanks in a large part to the soft Alcantara fabric. It feels nice against your wrists while you're typing, or as you're carrying around your Surface. Keyboard travel also feels good, and I'm able to very accurately type on it. The touchpad is equally good too. Allowing very easy mouse control. The different positions all feel great too. Whether that's flat on the table, or propped up, held in place with magnets, or bent all the way around. The nice thing about it being bent to the back is that it seems to disable keys, so you're not accidentally pressing a bunch of keys as it's on the back of the Surface. It also has nice features, like the backlit keys and a magnetic slot where the Slim Pen not only rests but is charged as well. The Slim Pen is excellent. The responsiveness and level of control are great. The haptic feedback is an amazing addition as well. I wish every app incorporated the haptics, or somehow it was at a system level instead of per app basis. It truly adds a lot to the feel. The buttons feel great as well, and I'm a big fan of being able to just turn the pen over to use the eraser. The customizable button and double-click shortcut of the eraser are useful as well. It pairs and works seamlessly, allow you to immediately get to sketching or taking notes on your Surface. Keyboard Pros: Excellent materials on the keyboard, great keyboard travel and feel, backlit keys, easy to attach and remove from the Surface, convenient storage for the Slim Pen that also charges it Keyboard Cons: A bit on the pricey side, I sometimes think it may benefit from being a little more rigid Slim Pen Pros: Precise responsiveness, feels great to hold, useful button placement and easily customizable, haptic feedback is incredible Slim Pen Cons: haptic feedback needs to be enabled by developers and is not in every app, also a bit on the pricey side Overall, this is an excellent addition to the Surface Pro. While the keyboard and pen are a bit pricey, purchasing them together like this saves a little money and they both work extremely well.

I recently acquired the Surface Pro – Copilot+ PC along with the Surface Slim Pen and Pro Keyboard. . The Dune-colored keyboard is a nice departure from the usual black and gray standards I've always had. It effortlessly attaches and detaches from the tablet thanks to its magnetic connector, offering flexible positioning—either at a tilted angle for comfortable typing or laid flat to reveal the neatly stored Slim Pen in its storage/charging tray (see attached pictures). The Alcantara material covering the keyboard, reminiscent of high-quality felt, not only feels soft but also provides stability and eliminates slippage on any surface I’ve tried it on. A backlit keyboard is a must-have for me, so I appreciate that this one comes with adjustable brightness levels, enhancing usability across different environments. Having been a laptop/mouse user forever, using the Slim Pen for the first time has been quite eye-opening. After a few days of using the keyboard and pen, I've found the experience refreshingly positive in general day-to-day computer usage. I have also edited several videos just using the keyboard/pen vs. a mouse and have found that some functions are quicker using the pen, but trimming/editing clips is more difficult to me, maybe I’m doing something wrong or just need more practice. In my case I think a mouse is still necessary, at least at this point, while I continue to learn using the pen. The track pad is very responsive as are the keys on the keyboard, they have a nice feel and click to both. The Slim Pen stays securely in place within the magnetic storage tray and charges while it's stored. However, I've noticed that it can be challenging to remove from the tray at times. While the magnetic hold is strong and secure, it can be tricky to extract the pen. Adding a finger-sized indentation or something like that to aid in removing it would be beneficial. Currently, I find myself kind of prying it up by the front tip to release it from the tray, hope this doesn’t hurt it in the long run. Overall, I really like this keyboard/pen, just think it could be a little easier to remove it from the storage tray.

The Surface Slim pen 2 and Pro keyboard convert the 2-in-1 Surface Pro into a sleek lightweight laptop and media creation tool. The keyboard instinctively latches correctly onto the tablet into the two designated connector slots via the magnets when positioned close and works perfectly with the Surface kickstand. The two slots provide connectivity and power for the keyboard and passthrough charging for the pen. There is a cavity at the top of the keyboard which houses and charges the slim pen when connected to the tablet. The design allows the cavity to be easily tucked underneath the tablet keeping the pen out of sight during use if preferred. The backlit QWERTY style keys are nicely sized and have good travel and accurate keystrokes. The keyboard backlighting has two brightness levels. The keyboard has a little noticeable flex at times but generally feels solid and performs well during most typing tasks. There is a dedicated Copilot key for launching the Copilot AI app, but otherwise, the keys are standard fare for a Windows PC. The integrated trackpad is accurate and is not prone to errant swipes and selections. There are no hardware click buttons but pad taps and double taps are sufficiently responsive and accurate. The Windows mouse app allows changes such as mouse speed for more granular fine-tuning. The Bluetooth enabled Slim pen 2 can also be used without the keyboard until it need charging. It functions well as a mouse style pointer, especially for media creation. It has good pressure sensitivity for freehand drawing and hand writing on the Surface. There are two buttons on the pen which function similar to mouse buttons and also allow pairing the pen via Bluetooth with other devices. The pen tips last a good while and are replaceable if or when they wear down. The tip doesn’t seem harsh on the Surface Pro glass, which is good because I’m having a hard time finding quality paper style protectors like I use on my other tablet. The pen charges wirelessly via the cavity on the Surface keyboard but does not have a dedicated charger. Overall, the Surface slim pen and keyboard cover are indispensable if using the Surface as a true 2-in-1. They don’t add much bulk or weight and work seamlessly with the Surface. The cover also helps keep the Surface screen protected when not in use. The keyboard is also available in matching colors for the Surface. The pen however only comes in black.

So owning a Surface pro Copilot + PC without owning the Surface slim pen and Pro Keyboard…would be like having an airplane with out wings or a car without tires. I mean I guess you could but you would be really limiting your self. The tablet is amazing by itself for sure but with the sleek, lightweight and visually appealing look of the keyboard really makes this a laptop replacing powerhouse. I also really love how they incorporated the pen case into the keyboard itself. The magnet are strong and secure for both the main connection to the tablet and for the pen. The pen also clamps on to the keyboard itself near the touch pad so you can set it and come back to it quickly. The only nit picky thing I can think of is … the pen…I hate to seven say this… is a little tricky to pull out. Just a little. I wish they would have had an indention on the sides so my index and thumb finger could easily pull it from it magnetic cradle in the keyboard…. NIT PICKY. The material they used for the keyboard is very tactile…like a velvet. What an interesting choice that really lets it stand out. It feels so organic rather than plasticky and industrial. Really cutting edge and frankly a gamble that really pays off and adds to the Surface Pro experience. The pen is slim and feels amazing in the hand. It just feels so natural. It is by far the best pen I have used. Light, sleek and very functional. Ready to go when needed. I also love how responsive it is when writing on the Surface Pro + Copilot. I would have liked it to be the same color as the keyboard or an accent like to the “dune” color…more nitpicky. Overall, I love this and makes for a 365 complete experience when it all comes together!

As someone who lives and breathes by the mantra "work smarter, not harder," I'm always on the lookout for gadgets that promise to turn my productivity levels up a notch. Enter the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen (2nd Edition) and the Pro Keyboard for Surface Pro 11. At first glance, these accessories scream "must-have," but do they live up to the hype? Buckle up as I dive into the nitty-gritty of this dynamic duo. --Design and Build Quality-- Starting with the keyboard, it's cloaked in a sophisticated Alcantara material, giving it a premium, tactile feel that’s light as a feather. The magnetically attached mechanism is as smooth as butter—detach and reattach with zero fuss. Plus, it sports a nifty micro-fold that angles the keyboard for a more ergonomic typing experience. Opening and closing the Surface Pro 11 with this keyboard feels almost ceremonial, waking the tablet up or putting it to sleep as if by magic. --Typing Experience-- Typing on this keyboard feels like playing a grand piano—keys are exceptionally responsive and consistent. I clocked in at an impressive 105 words per minute with an 85% accuracy rate on MonkeyType. Whether I'm cranking out emails or deep-diving into code, my fingers glide over the backlit keys with ease, even in low-light environments. --Trackpad Woes-- However, not all is rosy in keyboard land. The trackpad though, leaves much to be desired. When my display magnification is set to 100%, there's a frustrating lag on initial movements that makes precise cursor control a Herculean task. Bumping up the zoom level to 150%+ mitigates this issue somewhat. Additionally, the lack of a haptic feedback trackpad (like the one on the new Flex Keyboard) is a letdown at this price point. The trackpad also has a bit of a rattle, which doesn't inspire confidence in its durability. --Copilot+ Key-- Now, let’s talk about the new ‘Copilot+’ key, which replaces the right ‘Control’ key. For Copilot power users, this is a dream come true, making access to the AI assistant a breeze. However, for folks like me who frequently use the right Control key for text editing shortcuts, this change feels more like a rude awakening. I'd have preferred if Microsoft found a new home for this key without displacing one of my trusty navigational stalwarts. --Slim Pen 2: A Stroke of Genius-- The Slim Pen 2 slots seamlessly into the top of the keyboard, charging effortlessly while it rests. Its new shape is a significant upgrade from my old Surface Pro 6 pen, making it more comfortable to hold and use. As someone who isn’t an artist, I found its performance smooth and consistent for my scribbles and note-taking. However, my niece, who is a budding digital artist, gave it a spin and was impressed. She owns an iPad Pro 13 (M2) with an Apple Pencil and mentioned that the Slim Pen 2 holds its own, especially with tilt and pressure sensitivity. --Drawbacks of the Slim Pen 2-- The one minor gripe I have is that extracting the Slim Pen 2 from its slot can be a bit of a struggle. Maybe with practice, this will become second nature, but for now, it's a slight hiccup in an otherwise stellar experience. -Conclusion- So, is the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen (2nd Edition) and Pro Keyboard for Surface Pro 11 (11th Edition) worth the investment? In a word, yes. Despite a few minor flaws, the overall experience is exceptional, especially if you’re aiming to supercharge your productivity. The build quality, typing experience, and added functionalities like the Copilot+ key and Slim Pen 2 integration make this a must-have accessory for any Surface Pro 11 user. Highly recommend!

This is the newest 11th edition of the Surface Pro Keyboard. Keep in mind this is not the Flex version, which the only difference between the two versions being that the Flex has wireless functionality. Having owned the previous edition of the Pro Keyboard, I wouldn't say this is a must-have upgrade. That said if you own a Surface and don't have a cover, this is definitely worth the purchase. So what's new to this edition? There aren't too many new features. The cover is still made out of Alcantara. First thing you may notice is that there's a Copilot key new as Microsoft has been pushing its Copilot feature pretty hard with its newer hardware, whether or not you find this useful depends on how much you use Copilot. This edition of the Pro Keyboard is backlit so it's a nice feature if your version doesn't have it. F1 also features a mute button for the onboard microphone. F5 is now used for altering the brightness of the keyboard backlight. This means that if you previously use F5 to play and pause content, this feature is now gone. I will say that typing on this new keyboard does feel better. It feels a lot closer to typing on a laptop's keyboard in terms of tactile sensation. I'm not sure if it's because the keys are slightly less depressed than the previous version or not. Not much to say about the trackpad; it works without any issues just like the previous edition of the Pro Keyboard. Considering the price that is paid for this Pro Keyboard, I am disappointed to see that it doesn't have a fingerprint scanner like some of the other Pro Keyboard versions. If you don't use this feature though then it won't matter. As for the slim pen second edition, this is still the same pen that has been out for the past two years or so. I personally like the tactile feel of it more than the Apple Pencil. The Surface pen works well and I have no complaints about it. Battery seem to last a decent amount of time. Keep in mind that this review is written after only owning the Pro Keyboard and Surface Slim Pen for about five days. My previous Pro Keyboard went bad after a year and a half of regular use so hopefully will be of better quality.

I have recently started using Microsoft Surface Pro with Copilot+ laptop but it wouldn't have been as useful without this Microsoft's Pro Keyboard that is a must-have accessory designed to make the Surface Pro even more user-friendly. It is just fantastic to use it as a combo. This is not just an extension but is a perfect accessory for the Surface Pro laptop and works flawlessly, especially when paired with the Surface Slim Pen that offers real-time writing, pinpoint accuracy, and impressive shading abilities. I hardly noticed any inconsistencies using this pen and the experience what just as good as using a regular pen or pencil while exploring the painting capabilities. It comes in various colors but this Dune color keyboard is a perfect match to the laptop. This is covered with luxurious Alcantara material that adds to the looks of it. Despite it's compact design, the keyboard has a dedicated slot for the pen to charge, store and charge while not in use. This has many other features like instant access to Copilot by using a special Copilot key that instantly access to helpful tools to boost the day to day productivity. It has handy new keys to mute the microphone as needed in a flash and take screenshots easily using the snipping tool. The keys are smooth to operate on the keyboard and the track pad is big enough to navigate on the Surface Pro screen. In short, Microsoft's Pro Keyboard is all about making the Surface Pro more versatile and enjoyable to use, whether you’re working, creating, or just browsing.

The keyboard is a great option over using the on-screen key board and provides protection for the screen while unit is not in use. Pen makes some functions easier to use over the mouse, but requires some getting used to. This is my 3rd generation SurfacePro unit and I have purchased the model specific keyboard for each. My only issue with this specific purchase was I purchased an open box keyboard that was faulty, it would take seveal mintes to connect to the Surfce Pro following boot-up. Suspect orgial purchaser somehow misued the unit as this delay had never occrued with my previous units.. MY LOWER RATING ARE BASED ON OPEN BOX UNIT BEING FAULTY.

It is great. Very easy to install it. It is very light and works very well with a Surface tablet.
