Purchased along with surface pro. Keyboard works as intended and pen is get for hand written notes in class.
Some may not like the keyboard as the keys do not have a traditional keyboard feel to them.

Yes, I gave it four stars, but only because I would like to see a better keyboard layout with programmable buttons. It feels a little bulky for just having the basic keyboard and mouse functions, but it fits the shape of the Surface Pro, so not much can be done about the size. It has kind of a soft touch feel, is very responsive. The keyboard is super well built and is an amazing companion to the Surface Pro. I don't find myself using a smart pen much, however it feels great and functions flawlessly. When folded up over the screen, it has a premium alcantara type look and feel, and is very pleasing to the eye. Five stars to the design, quality, and functionality, however I would love a more modern layout with dedicated volume buttons, and maybe a calculator button. Would also love to see some programmable buttons for fast access to apps or functions, etc. Lastly, I want to highlight the mousepad. It has a great size, has a smooth and comforting feel, and clicks as good as many premium laptops on the market. This is more than just an accessory, it is a must if you love using your surface pro!!

Perfect compliment to the Surface Pro

This is my first tablet that is not the fruit brand, and I was somewhat skeptical as to whether or not I would like it. I LOVE IT. When I opened the Keyboard for the Surface Pro 12” I was a little taken back by its size, simply because I have large hands. I wondered if I would be able to use it proficiently, I was pleasantly surprised. The connection to the Surface Pro was seamless, and the “kickstand” on the back of the Pro used in conjunction w/ the keyboard is very steady.
I truly like the layout that Microsoft accomplished in such a smaller footprint, the keys on this keyboard have a great feel to them on your fingers, and the key response is exceptional in my opinion. I absolutely love the trackpad and to me, this added feature that I never had w/ my older tablets sets this apart. When paired w/ the Surface Pro you basically have a small touchscreen laptop.
And then, you have the pencil, I cannot express how much I love this pencil, the major feature I like about it is the shape, I have a small woodworking shop and I mostly use a pencil shaped just like the pen. I love how it truly feels like I am writing on paper when I use the pen, and the battery life and having it charge as I charge my Surface Pro is a plus.
The dedicated keys that Microsoft incorporated in this keyboard are top notch as well, I love that I can tap a key and go directly to Co-Pilot or use the snipping tool to screengrab what is on the display. The key that I like the most is that now w/ the touch of one key I can lock my Surface Pro.
This is a well designed and manufactured keyboard that is a prefect compliment to the Surface Pro, I am so glad I have this and would highly recommend it

Responsive mousepad, Keyboard has nice touch

The keyboard that adds on to the Surface Pro attached by simply aligning the five magnetic dots on the top of the keyboard to the five dots on the bottom (or side depending on how you are holding) of the Surface Pro. I expected to have to go through some type of installation and/or device install process. Nothing, absolutely nothing extra to do. The keyboard just worked with the Copilot screen I already had open. Simply turn the keyboard while holding the Surface steady and it detaches. Couldn’t be any simpler. The mousepad is very responsive. The keys have a nice touch. They don’t really click like most keyboards, they have more of a light thump.
The pen is a new accessory for me as I have not used one before with a laptop. It too was very simple to use. Attach it to the spot on the back of the Surface for five seconds to activate. Double click the top of it and One Note opens. I was able to scribble some notes and create a new notebook. I read that you remember things better if you use a pen and write notes. Not sure if that’s true writing notes with an electronic pen. I found I used the pen in place of the mouse to open/close apps and pop up messages. I do tend to draw diagrams on white boards in meetings and I expect this handy little pen will save me a few steps as I’ll do those diagrams right on the Surface Pro.

Great Companion to Surface Tablet

The Microsoft - Surface Pro 12" Keyboard for Pro 12" with Slim Pen make a great companion to the Surface Pro 12" tablet. The keyboard makes for a great cover that not just protects the screen, but provides full laptop functionality to a tablet device. The keys boast mechanical switches and really give that tactile feel you wouldn't expect to come from a tablet cover. The keypad is also backlit and can easily be used in dark rooms.
There are built-in keys for CoPilot, and a full row of function keys, to include the ability to control media, microphone, speakers, etc. The magnetic hinge can flex a full 360 degrees and feels very secure once you click it in place.
The included Slim Pen stylus boasts 4,096 pressure levels, and comes with a rechargeable lithium battery. As opposed to previous models that require AAAA batteries. The manufacturer states you'll get 15 hrs of use out of a charge. The Slim Pen can be docked onto the back of the Surface Pro tablet, and there it will recharge it's battery.
If you're planning to use a Surface Pro 12" tablet, there's no reason not to invest in these accessories. They are pretty much a must for productivity on the go.

I absolutely love my Microsoft surface pro and in the past I have questioned certain design language for the add ons like this keyboard and pen but this time around they got it perfect!! Super happy with the fact they really went all in on the new designs here specifically the feel and usability. The precision touch board is nothing short of amazing feeling to use which was a pain point of the past so I’m really happy this one is so much better.
The backlight in the keyboard is really important to me as I do a lot of work in low light and it keeps things easily seen for me especially with the dedicated copilot key which excellently this time around comes in the layout making it extremely easy to pop that window up and utilize the amazing ai for anything you could want.
The slate color i got is a perfect match to my platinum color surface pro and the pen is a perfectly synchronized color way. Since with this new design it’s actually flat and not at an angle any longer like the old one was it makes full use of the proximity snap feature where you can install and remove it without even picking up your surface pro making it extremely convenient to say the least.
That to say I’ve focused mainly on the keyboard to this point but the slim pen is also perfect. It provides excellent haptic feedback when using. I’ve never had an accuracy issue or anything and it magnetically attaches to the back of your surface pro where it also charges.
I also have to say compared to the past a really nice change has been the reduction of carbon footprint and extremely smart use of recycled materials in all of the packaging to the point it’s much much better than before and greatly appreciated.
This is the perfect kit you need to fully utilize your surface pro. High recommendation.

Worth every penny

I know it can be tempting to think you can go with a cheaper solution of a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but I mean it when I say this keyboard (and pen!) are worth every penny for your Surface Pro experience.
The material feels great in your hands, and it was an excellent choice by Microsoft to only put the Alcantara fabric on the outside; the rubber palm rests feel great and help keep your hands anchored. The typing experience is fantastic; while it can’t compete with a mechanical keyboard, it gets pretty close - and that’s almost unheard of in something this thin. I don’t know how they engineered it, but the travel is excellent, the click is firm and lets you be confident with your typing, and the backlight is also just the right amount of brightness.
The trackpad is a winner too; in my week of use so far, it hasn’t picked up any oils from my finger and I haven’t noticed any lagging in the scrolling or pointing.
The pen that comes with it is decent too. I don’t have much use for handwritten notes in my workflow (and I’ll never be confused for an artist), but the fact that it magnetizes to the back of the device means it’s always there and charged. I do like the touch of having the button on the back be set to invoke an app of your choosing; I used OneNote for this and it was always snappy to launch.
It really is worth the price of admission; I don’t think you’ll have the best Surface experience without it.

The Microsoft Pro Surface 12" keyboard and slim pen are great accessories for the Surface Pro 12". These are optional and NOT included in the purchase price of the Surface Pro 12". However, they are part of what makes the Surface Pro 12" so great and are a definite must-have.
The slim pen mounts magnetically to the back of the unit and it actually stays in place. This space also doubles as a charger for the pen. Being able to charge the pen without being attached to a keyboard is a plus. The pen is comfortable to grip, and the haptic motor makes it feel like you're actually writing/drawing. It has a built-in LED light, a "right click" button, and an eraser. It can turn handwritten notes into text and has a battery life up to 15 hours.
The keyboard attaches magnetically to the bottom edge of the screen and lays completely flat. There's very little flex making it sturdy while typing. It has an attractive, soft back which is a nice touch and keeps it from sliding around. The keyboard is backlit and has rubberized keys which are comfortable to the touch. The keys move enough to know you're typing, but are very quiet.
My only negative is that the keyboard, power supply, and slim pen are sold separately and not included in the purchase price of the Surface Pro 12". They are definitely worth having and are available as a bundle so you can save a little money.

Typing Experience: Best-in-Class
The full-sized backlit keyboard delivers a comfortable and responsive typing experience, making it ideal for both work and play. The inclusion of dedicated special keys—like the Copilot key for instant AI access, snipping tool shortcut, and microphone mute key—ensures that efficiency is always at your fingertips.
Precision & Comfort
The adaptive touchpad is spacious, offering precise control, particularly beneficial for users with limited mobility. Additionally, the palm rest is made from a new long-lasting, easy-to-clean material, providing a sleek matte finish that resists wear while maintaining comfort.
Innovative Design & Durability
What truly sets the Surface Pro 12" Keyboard apart is its dynamic hinge, crafted from premium microfiber, allowing a smooth 360-degree flex for seamless tablet-to-laptop transitions. The wedge-style architecture ensures a stable typing experience with minimal bounce, whether on a desk or your lap. I love the velvet feel of the cover and it doesn’t slide which is a bonus.
Magnetic Precision & Style
With proximity snap, the keyboard effortlessly aligns and connects via a strong magnetic interface, eliminating any setup hassle. Plus, Microsoft offers a variety of colors—Violet, Ocean, and Slate—so users can express their style while maintaining top-tier performance. It aligns perfectly every time and really sticks on there.
Final Verdict
Whether you're a professional on the go or a multitasking powerhouse, the Microsoft Surface Pro 12" Keyboard delivers a premium experience with its ergonomic design, functional keys, and sleek aesthetics.
