I like the ability to pair it to multiple devices at a time and quickly switch between them. Also, having the dual function FX keys is great since most laptops now have the same and it allows me to use the same functions I'm used to. Good value.

Awesome and quite portable keyboard. It's real small folks lol but surprisingly sturdy. The only thing that would make this a 5 star is backlighting on the keys but then I'd be asking for too much. It easily syncs to multiple devices and remembers each one individually. Great buy.

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)

Wow, This Really is a Super Nice, Compact Keyboard

It's got a nice weight to it. The keys have a good feel to them. They are nothing like the other Microsoft Keyboard (the full-sized, non-designer keyboard). Those keys feel mushy and cheap. I picked this keyboard up for $54.00 and it is well worth the money for me. I was going to pick up the Apple Magic Keyboard, even though I am running a Windows 11 machine, but I am glad a passed over it. My only critique is that there is NO backlight to this keyboard. This is something missing from a good amount of small, compact keyboards (not all, of course). I believe manufacturers should prioritize such a function, as a backlight is very nice to have. Regardless, though, I will be recommending this keyboard to anyone looking for a non-specialized (ie., mechanical w/ XYZ key types) keyboard!

It is a good portable keyboard, but on the downside, it is not very sturdy. I usually take it with my iPad but it only lasted like 2 months before some of the keycaps started falling off. I think I'll go with a different brand once I start looking for another keyboard for my iPad.

I purchased this wireless keyboard for my dad and he loves this keyboard. It was easy to set up, sturdy and easy to use, i just wish it had a back light for the price.

This is a great product, 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

I've only had the keyboard for a short period, but I already like it a lot better than other keyboards I have had. Smooth, fast, small, easy to use, and can stay "ON". Another great design from Microsoft!

The ONE thing I want to see is backlit keys. Aside from that this keyboard is amazing. Low profile and portable (if you're into that sort of thing), super comfortable typing experience. Bluetooth, and can easily switch between 3 devices quickly (that's dope). Even though I want the keys to be backlit, I still have to give it a 5 star because it's a great keyboard.
