Microsoft - Designer Compact Keyboard - Glacier

If you want a compact, tenkeyless, chiclet-style keyboard, then this is the best option on the market right now. I've been looking for YEARS for this exact keyboard - that's like a laptop keyboard transported onto a desktop. But nobody has ever brought one to market that I liked. Also, just because it's created by Microsoft doesn't mean you can't use it with a mac! I'm using it with a mac right now and it works seamlessly after switching the option and command buttons in the keyboard settings. Previously, the only keyboard to come close was the Logitech K811 and K810, but those were discontinued years ago. I've tried the Logitech K380, but the circle-shaped keys took some adjustment and I found that it slowed my typing speed by 33%. I tried the Logitech MX Keys and the Surface Keyboard, but their large number pads that I never use were terrible for my own ergonomic preferences. I tried the Apple Magic Keyboard but it hasn't been updated for over 5 years and the clicky feel of the keyboard was a little too sharp on the fingers. The best keyboard for me until this moment was actually an Apple Magic Keyboard Case for iPad + Sidecar to a mac, but that's missing an escape key as well as the ability to command + tab, b, i, etc. (I dealt with it by remapping those options to my mouse...). As a programmer, my keyboard is probably the tool I use most often in my life. The fact that someone finally made my dream keyboard makes me life that much better. So to conclude my rant. If you want a great "laptop" keyboard for your desktop setup. THIS IS IT!

I've used the Microsoft Surface Pro keyboards for years, so I'm used to a smaller keyboard. This keyboard is the same size as the Surface Pro keyboard without the trackpad, so I am very comfortable with it. This keyboard pairs with up to three different systems via Bluetooth and has a button on it to change the device you're actively using the keyboard for easily. I have paired it with two computers and my iPad. Pairing with the three devices was painless. This is a quality device. I would have rated five stars if it had foldout feet to allow typing at an angle rather than strictly on a flat keyboard.

I was a fan of the Microsoft surface keyboard but didn't need the number pad and needed something more portable but that could pivot easily between devices. This keyboard (like the surface) is overpriced, but if you like the aesthetic and have had good experiences with Microsoft products in the past it's on par. I work for a tech company so I spend a lot of my time on a keyboard. Pros: - Aesthetic - Connecting to multiple devices (laptop, ipad, etc.) - Easily adaptable for typing (no real learning curve period) Cons: - Not as raised as I would like it to be - Decent key travel, but could be better - Weird emoticon button that I had to download the Microsoft keyboard software to reprogram - No backlight Unknown: - Haven't traveled with it (for obvious reasons) so unsure about the durability (since it is marketed as a to-go keyboard)

Nice keyboard but small wireless the color looks nice
