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)

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.

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!

I work construction; I keep this in my vest and am able to pop it out and use it at a moments notice. Perfect for any situation. I typically keep it paired to my iPad and phone so I can swap back and forth as needed.

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.

Gifted this to my daughter who is taking her master’s. She is loving this keyboard.

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 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 my favorite laptop accessory in that it’s genius yet original somehow... the point is it works perfectly it just feels too perfect. Compact and high quality for sure a best idea for the personal computer.

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!

Got something that was reasonably priced and has a decent history if positive reviews. Idc if its mechanical or not the the mist important thing is reliability.
