    Just what I wanted

    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.

    Well worth the funds and time to pick it up.

    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)

    Microsoft Wireless Keyboard, easy and useful

    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.
