    Premium Keyboard

    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

    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!

    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)

    I might have a crush on this keyboard. I'm a writer, so I type all day. Keyboard comfort is essential. This one is probably my favorite keyboard ever. The keys are crisp and clicky with great travel. My accuracy seems much better on this one than my previous Logitech. The fingerprint is a great addition to bring Windows Hello (which I love on my Surface Book 2) to my desktop. It's pricey, but I have no complaints so far.

    I really love the size of this keyboard, I have a smaller desk so space is at a premium. The keys feel good, not quite as good as my mechanical keyboard, but this is also much quieter. The fingerprint button for logging into windows is a pretty cool feature as well.

    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.

    weight is just perfect to make it not moving all around in my desk Finger scan is A+ for this small and slim Keyboard, keys doesn't feel mechanical as i read in other review, whatever is not too bad it has a nice light feel soft touch in each key with a pretty low click noise, for the price of $84.49 you can't ask for more

    This is the best of the best keyboard and very expensive. It has the fingerprint scanner on it and connects to the newest laptops via bluetooth. I ended up returning it within 48 hours. I just couldn't justify the expense when i have some 10 year old mice and keyboards that still work wirelessly just fine.

    I love the fact that it has fingerprint censoring and has a nice outside metallic feel with the keys being easy to type on. It's like the Apple keyboard but for Windows. Keyboard also has recharging capabilities which you can charge with a USB. This keyboard can also be used wired or through Bluetooth.

    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.

    The keyboard frame is constructed of quality material (metal). The keys are quite with the right travel, and their surface have a rubbery feel. I like the fact that you can use the keyboard wirelessly or wired (comes with USB cable). The Surface Mouse nicely matches the keyboard.

    Microsoft has unveiled a new “Modern Keyboard” with an integrated fingerprint reader. The reader has a hidden fingerprint sensor that "blends" the fingerprint reader into a keyboard, in turn making it look just like any other key. The keyboard offers a prestigious, top of it's, or I just might say, "ALL" typing experiences... making it's home in an aluminum frame with sensitive keys, and a gray finish.
