The keyboard is responsive. I also appreciate that it is backlit, so if you're working in limited light, you can still work without interruption. There's good feeling to the response of the keys. It's not mechanical, which is the type of key's I'm accustomed to using on a daily basis. The Pen is a bit of a mixed bag. I find it a bit awkward to hold due to it being flat versus the natural styling of a pen. It's also very responsive and accurate. I'm a terrible writer but the handwriting recognition has come a ways since the last time i used a Windows based tablet that used a pen. I like that the pen sits in a spot inside the cover so it's tucked away when you're not needing to use it. The Alcantara is a nice touch as well and gives a feel of quality to the keyboard.

Extremely lightweight and slim while still offering a great trackpad, great keyboard for a tablet, and pen storage and charging! I got an open box option for almost half the price of new, however had that not been available, full price would have been worth it just for the convenience of a laptop with the form factor of a tablet. The keyboard will only work with the surface pro 8 or newer, and the pro X lines, as they changed where the data and power connectors are on the magnetic interface.

The surface keyboard functions as intended. It’s feels really nice. It’s a pleasure to type with. The trackpad can be a touch bigger even though it already is compared to previous model, but a bit more would be nice. That would however sacrifice palm rest space. And I rather have that tbh. The slim pen 2 feels good in the hand, which I really wasn’t expecting. The amount of functionality the pen has great. They both work really well with the surface pro 8. I cant say anything bad about it. If there is one thing I would say, the price, but they will begin going on sale next month I’m sure because of the holidays, assuming you can find them in stock.

Premium quality product. Very comfortable to use. I was very happy with the results.

Although not perfect, I think that it is a good bet to use this with the surface pro 9 (as intended by Microsoft) rather than one from someone else that may not work well. The pen works great and the keyboard feels nice and does it's job. Only con would be the price but I got it on sale and the bundle is cheaper than buying these things separate.

I first purchased the MS pro 8 and had it for about a month along with an older refurb pen. Got the keyboard with slim pen two and love both items. Keyboard is super easy to add/remove and is light weight. The slim pen 2 is far better than the older pens and way more responsive and has a better feel in my hand. Only advice, is choose a good case that supports the keyboard functionality and supports the stand on the back of the surface. Pen charges on the keyboard only not magnetically to the surface like the previous pens.

I loved how well it connected to the Pro 9. It snapped in 100% perfectly every time! The little tray for charging and storing the slim pen is also nice, but I strongly advise not buying that stupid pen. It's not good. The build quality of the keyboard is good. Nice and strong for what it is. Only downside is the price. We all know this thing is probably worth $20 but they'll charge $80+ nonetheless.

The keyboard works great for the laptop. It connects with magnets so it's easy to put in and out. It also folds over and you can use te pen to write or even just your fingers for the touchscreen. The pen is pretty accurate and writes and draws in real time with little delay if you use any note-taking or drawing apps.

This item is a must-have if you are purchasing a Surface Pro. I don't always use the keyboard but it's the best protection for the screen when not in use. It's uncommon that I don't need the keyboard but it's easy enough to use if not needed.

This pen and keyboard combo is insanely perfect. I was skeptical of getting a surface, but wanted one to roam while teaching. The precision of the writing is eerily accurate. This particular upgrade, I have found really gives me the true ability to use the surface as laptop and tablet. I love having the pen charging in the laptop without having to worry about it.

I like the pen holder and the keyboard is anle to be at a tilt. Keyboards similar to this i used in the past laid flat and i found them difficult to type on. This keyboard is great. The keys are a little noisy, but i am getting used to it.

You will end up buying this at some point if you have a surface pro x/8/9. I would wait until it goes on sale or pick up an open box model, which there always seem to be plenty of. The keyboard and trackpad are much improved over the previous surface type covers, and the surface slim pen 2 is among the best digital pens I have used. I think the pen is even better than that of the apple pencil 2. The flat shape of the pen, which feels like a carpenter's pencil in the hand, allows the device to be easily gripped, and your hand is never confused of where it is. Additionally, Microsoft has added haptic feedback to their surface pen this time around, which adds an extra level of immersion when writing on an otherwise texture-less glass screen. The battery life is more than enough for a full day and the charging location at the top of the keyboard is both genius and ensures you will never lose it in a bag.

Works great. The keyboard is a must have for the surface. 80 percent of the time you can get along fine without it, but when you are seriously doing work, there are times you just need the trackpad and keyboard. The pen is great. It feels good in the hand and adds tons of functionality. You can even use it as a presentation clicker.

I recently purchased the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2 and Pro Signature Keyboard for my Surface Pro and I'm thoroughly impressed. The keyboard's sleek design and responsive keys offer a typing experience that rivals high-end laptops. The Alcantara covering adds a touch of luxury and comfort that I didn't realize I was missing. The Slim Pen 2 is a game-changer for on-screen writing and drawing, with its precision and responsiveness making digital note-taking feel natural. The fact that it charges within the keyboard is a bonus, ensuring it's always ready when inspiration strikes. This combo has significantly enhanced my productivity and creativity with its backlit keys and robust build. It is a solid investment for any Surface Pro user looking for an upgrade in functionality and style.

The keyboard works really good. I love that it is so lightweight and easy to attach and detach. The pen also works super great and is easy to use. Only thing that’s keeping it from a five star is that there’s no option to keep the keyboard lights lit while using. They dim off after about ten seconds or so.

This key board is very easy to use. Sturdy and sleek. Whether using it as a keyboard or laptop in tablet mode don't realize the keyboard is there. Haven't tried the pen yet but haven't had the need yet! Definitely, worth the investment.

The keyboard works fairly well. It’s a bit rough to remove the board from the Surface Pro, but it means that it stays on it well. The keys are easy to press and aren’t unsatisfying to use, though the hand placement take a second to get used to. The stylus is good as well and the different buttons function nicely. All in all it works well and I’d say is worth the money.

Overall, I am happy with the keyboard and the pen. Easy to use. Nice storage compartment for the pen. The pen feel nice and operate smoothly. Keyboard keys are just as nice as standard keyboard. Very easy to attach and deattach to the tablet as needed.

The keyboard and surface slim pen are simply incredible. The work well and as expected. It's wonderful to have a product just work sometimes, you know? To work well.
