Premium Keyboard
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very happy with this purchase. This Microsoft keyboard is a great match to the Surface line of products, and really a great option for any Windows 10 PC. I did a review video on my YouTube channel. The features that I like the most about this keyboard are the following: 1) Aesthetics are great. Aluminum frame with the grey keys looks great. 2) Full size keyboard with number pad. 3) The fingerprint scanner works amazing, this is great for any desktop set up. 4) The formfactor. It is slim and it does not take much space on a desk. The keyboard angle is perfect. 5) Typing experience is great. All the keys are properly spaced which minimizes the chances of hitting the wrong key when typing a lot. The key travel is right on target for my preference, it feels like a laptop to some degree, not too loud and not too quiet key strokes, it is just perfect for me. 5) Built in battery, which truly lasts months of use and charges quickly. This is very convenient. USB cable included. The only negative aspect of this keyboard is probably the price but every now and then you can find them on sale too.

Excellent Rechargeable Wireless Keyboard
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a decent wireless keyboard for my home office and picked up this keyboard due to its size and it being a rechargeable keyboard. I absolutely love the pick, it syncs quickly via internal Bluetooth, so there is no need for the Bluetooth usb adapter. The charge lasts forever, I’m still at 70% and heavy usage and forgetting to turn it off. It has a little weight to it giving it a nice solid feel, very sturdy. Love the biometric key for quick login to windows (I use it with laptop/delegate display. The only real bummer for me is when my laptop goes to sleep I cannot just push a key on the board to wake the laptop. I have to open the laptop physically to wake it. A small inconvenience for an overall awesome product!

Amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely amazing. Wanted a work keyboard that was similar to my apple keyboard at home so I am not switching from keyboard to keyboard. As a keyboard "snob", this keyboard is fantastic. Only thing is they switched my computer at work and now it does not have bluetooth. Just trying to find a dongle that will pair with the method this keyboard uses to pair (by the cord). But it works great plugged in (if you dont have bluetooth)

Nice feel, love the fingerprint reader
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the build quality, nice and sturdy and the "chill" of the aluminum feels very high quality. I have no complaints about the key travel/sound/feel etc. I am a little curious to see if they start to look dirty fast being lighter keys, but so far so good after about 3 weeks. I love that its a Bluetooth keyboard so I don't need to bother with a USB receiver, and that it's USB rechargeable with the built in battery. My only complaints are: - It's so narrow it makes it a little harder to use on your lap (I like to lean back in my office chair and type with it on my lap from time to time). - The indicator lights in the caps lock etc keys are just a hair too dim to be obvious at a glance under my bright office lighting. I get that they tried to find the fine line between bright enough to be noticeable and too bright to be energy efficient, so it will last as long as it oes on each charge. But, I'd prefer if it was user selectable (even if it was merely a radio button to choose "normal" and "high" brightness) giving me the option to need to recharge a little more often if I so choose. Ultimately, no regrets at this time but see some potential for slight improvements and maybe they'll even address the indicator light issue in a future software update.

Missing one feature
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really enjoy this keyboard. The key travel isn't very deep, but it has very nice feedback. The keys are spaced nicely so I can type quickly on it with very few errors. I like that it can be used via Bluetooth or wired. I haven't had any issues with the fingerprint reader in the weeks that I've used this keyboard. All shortcuts and function keys worked out of the box (I did need a update before Windows Hello would work though). This physical size is pretty small compared to other full sized keyboards, so if desk space comes at a premium or you just want a minimal look this is a great option. The gripe that I have is that there is no back lighting. I knew this before buying, but I still see people asking if it has it a lot online.

Great keyboard with some issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love the footprint of this keyboard. I was looking for something with a low profile that didn't have cheap feeling keys since I'm on this thing 8 to 10 hours a day. This one really fit the bill. My one and only complaint about my personal experience is that after a couple of weeks, the space bar started to make a slight squeaking noise when pressed. It's not very loud but in a quiet environment, it's kind of annoying... especially for a $150 keyboard. I might consider returning it to see if a new one does the same thing. Other than that, I'd actually recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for something that sits low on your desktop. Bonus points if you're using it with a Surface.

Good keyboard with flaws
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a bad keyboard. The build is high quality with a metal build. It does has it flaws. The layout of the 10 keys could be better because the lock button is right above the 10 key which will accidentally cause your computer to lock. In addition, if you don't use the keyboard for around 15-30 minutes, the keyboard will go into sleep mode. There is a way to prevent this from happening, but it takes a bit of research to do this.

Q: QuestionCan this keyboard be used with hp laptop?
Asked by Bossy1220.
- A:Answer Yes. It’s part of the “Surface” line because of its styling and keyboard feel, but it’s otherwise an ordinary keyboard from the perspective of computers (minus the Windows Hello fingerprint key, which is a feature only used by Windows 10).

Q: QuestionIs this keyboard as poor as the bluetooth only version (Microsoft Surface Keyboard)? The previous one's bluetooth drops every 2-5 minutes making the keyboard useless but I loved the feel so does this wired version stay connected flawlessly?
Asked by cinder.
- A:Answer My experience with BT connection has been very poor with this version. I've never tried the original. It stays connected just fine, but the battery runs out without warning. Sometimes it is difficult to get it to connect, thanks to a total lack of a 'pairing' mode.
Answered by Kyle
