“Is it really wireless? This is the first time I have seen wireless connectivity advertised as a feature of any Microsoft Surface series touch or type cover. (1) Does the cover actually connect wirelessly to the Surface 3, and if so, what is its battery life? (2) Is the cover compatible with other Surface tablets? (3) Does the keyboard use Bluetooth for connectivity, and will it work with other devices in the windows, Android, iOS, Mac, and Linux worlds?”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The keyboard connects to the Surface with contact pins that are automatically lined up with magnets. It connects very easily. Because it uses magnets (that do hold it effectively to the Surface) it will not wear out over time like a mechanical latch does. The keyboard is then powered by battery on the Surface so no additional changing is required for the keyboard.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This keyboard is not wifi or bluetooth. It is wireless in that it connects directly to the bottom of the Surface. It is compatible with the Surface Pro which is what I purchased it for. Wondeful tactile touch and touchpad is very responsive.
