Nice little keyboard that is perfect for traveling. Easily connects with Bluetooth. I do a lot of traveling and one of the things that I often wish I had was an actual keyboard. This fits into that gap. The only reason I give it a 4 star and not a 5 is that it is made of plastic and not the same material as my “office” keyboard, the Microsoft Surface keyboard. That is just a preference of mine and I want to make sure everyone is aware that it is not the same material. It however works great and is a wonderful typing experience.

This is my go to keyboard now. I am in love with it. It's so compact and easy to slip into my backpack and go. The best part is it can connect to 3 different devices! With the ease of pressing a single button it can switch to the next device. I use two laptops at once and now I use one keyboard to do work on both! Just waiting to find a good mouse that does this. I really hesitated with the price and was planning on buying a $30 keyboard. I am so glad that I chose to splurge a little bit.

The main selling point of this little gem is the fact that it has that beautiful feature of having the ability to connect to multiple devices. I'm going back and forth between a minimum of 3 devices at any given time. I can't even tell you how much excitement and ease that brought me. I no longer had to carry my 2 usb switch boxes on top of the USB cords to go with. ON TOP OF the hdmi switches i have for supporting a minimum of 2 extra monitors. Thank you microsoft for this.

I am currently using this keyboard and I absolutely love it. I have gone through multiple gaming, mechanical, membrane, etc. keyboards and this has to be one of my favorite keyboards I've ever used. This may not seem like a 10/10, but it really is. Only bummer is that it's not rechargeable -- the batteries do last 2-3 years according to microsoft.

This is a great compact keyboard, only reason I gave 4 and not 5 is because price is relatively high, you can get same quality keyboards for half if this. But if price is not a concern for you this is your keyboard and will love it. It fits on small desk and easy to use. I would recommend if price is not a concern.

I was looking for a smaller keyboard that would give me a little more home desk/mouse/coffee cup space. And I love this keyboard. Fit and finish are awesome. Keys are oh so lovely to press. Did I miss the 10 key, just a little bit. I think that this competes with the Apple version. Connects via booth tooth quickly and you are up and running quickly.

I was looking for a bluetooth/wireless keyboard for my home office. I needed something that was compact yet felt comfortable and looked good considering the size of my desk. This definitely fit the bill considering the price range and the overall quality of the keyboard.

Overall decent product. But definitely compact. My fingers are a little too big to really make the use comfortable and efficient. Kept tripping over my own fingers, with how quickly I type. Light and thin and compact. Great for traveling, unrealistic for daily operation, especially if your hands are big.

Great typing responsiveness for compact keyboard

This Microsoft keyboard is excellent vs. four other low-cost compact portable wireless keyboards I've bought over the past 12 years. The typing feel on this Microsoft unit has perfect responsiveness for me (no mushy keys) and I can type rapidly with few errors. Yes, the Microsoft compact keyboard cost more than the others I purchased but this one is worth it if a compact highly portable keyboard is needed. I own a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 and have this keyboard instead of Microsoft's keyboard case because most of my SP8 uses are better served with a detached keyboard and mouse.

A very nice keyboard that is easy to type on. However, I really wish that for the money the keyboard is, it would be backlit. This does make it slightly challenging to work at night without a light on. On the other hand, I don't feel that there are enough options for 60%/compact keyboards that also are thin. I am happy with every aspect of the product except for the lack of backlit keys. Still a 5-star product.

Bought this open box for $34 and at that price it's an amazing deal.
Has three different blue tooth profiles, so I can push a button and have it hooked to my phone my laptop or my TV.
Most useful tiny keyboard I own and I own many.

This has been my favorite windows keyboard to date. I like how it’s small and they keys have a good feel to them. The mouse takes a bit to get used to but I was used to it in a week and it also has a good feel to it.

I love the keyboard - it’s very nice, good in quality, lightweight and compact, can connect up to the devices - my ONLY problem with it is that it is not backlit, other than that - this keyboard is really amazing!
