Works well, but needs a locking mechanism

I like the look, the function, and even the size of this keyboard. My big issue is how easily it detaches from the Surface Pro. I wish there was some locking mechanism that would keep it attached. If you're carrying it shut on top of the Surface Pro, if you're holding it upside down, the weight of the Pro can cause it to detach and fall.

Great addition to the Microsoft Surface 9 Pro

First impression:
My first impression of the Surface Signature Keyboard with the surface Slim Pen 2 is that it really is a signature keyboard and pen. This is the kind of keyboard/pen set I would expect for a tablet like the Microsoft 9 Pro. The magnets that hold the keyboard to the tablet and the pen in its slot are very strong, and the magnets that hold the keyboard closed are very strong. None of these inhibit using the keyboard but do a good job of keeping it where you want it. The pen is charged while sitting in the holster, and if you put it in backwards, the magnets will flip it over to make sure it is in correctly.
Specifications:
• Alcantara cover: Very comfortable for the wrists, and the outside gives the Surface some grip.
• Weight: This keyboard/pen combo only weighs .65 lbs., helping the surface to keep a lower overall weight.
• Bluetooth 5.0: Automatically connects and provides a very responsive keyboard/pen.
• Right click button: You have the option of using the 2-finger right click on the touchpad but having a dedicated right-click makes using it a lot easier.
• Tactile signals for the Pen 2: You can configure tactile response on the pen to give you the timing and intensity you desire.
• Keyboard is a screen protector when closed.
Setup:
There really isn’t any setup unless you have the fingerprint reader. You lay it out and place the Surface Pro on it. The magnets grab the keyboard and hold it in place, and that’s it. You can configure tactile feedback of the pen in Windows if you like, but it is optional.
Performance:
The keyboard feels really good. I am a fast 2-finger typist, as long as the keyboard keys aren’t jammed too close together. These keys are spaced perfect for me, they are large enough to hit the correct key, and the feel of the keys are perfect for a keyboard like this. The keys have a light resistance, but do not bounce when typing fast. They are mechanical keys but feel more like chiclet keys. I really like this keyboard.
The touchpad is called a “glass trackpad,” and for good reason. When using the touchpad, it feels like your fingers are riding on oil. It is so smooth that there isn’t any drag like on a typical laptop touchpad. I'm sure they’ve had these for a while, but it’s the first one I have used, and I really like it a lot.
When using gestures with the touchpad, it is very accurate at knowing what you are attempting to do. The only thing I usually use is the one or two-fingers for a right click. This touchpad hasn’t messed that one up yet, even when I did. But if you don’t like having to use the a finger right-click, this keyboard has a dedicated right-click button to the right of the touchpad. Again, another feature I really like.
The pen is also a Bluetooth device that charges in the pen holster and offers up to 15 hours of battery life. It has a top button, a side button, and eraser functionality. It also provides Haptic feedback. One of my favorite features is the little red dot on the screen to show where the pen is going to touch. It’s like a laser target. This is perfect when doing precision work. The shape of the pen also makes it easy to hold and use the buttons without the pen moving or slipping.
Conclusion:
The Microsoft Surface 9 Pro is a very powerful tablet. The Microsoft Surface Pro Signature Keyboard/Pen for Pro 9 turns it into a powerful laptop/tablet hybrid. Both the keyboard and pen operate wonderfully and makes using the Surface an enjoyable experience. The only con I found is the price, but to me it’s worth it. There are other keyboard options available for a better price, but none of them are specifically designed and integrated into the Surface the way this keyboard is. If I am going to pay for the Surface Pro 9, I’m not going to skimp on the keyboard.
If you have a Surface Pro 8 or 9, and you want to add a keyboard/pen to it, I highly recommend the Microsoft Surface Pro Signature Keyboard with Surface Slim Pen 2. It is the perfect companion to the Microsoft Surface Pro 9.

A worthy accessory investment

If you are using the Microsoft Surface Pro 9, run out to the store and pick up the Signature Keyboard with Slim Pen 2 immediately. Don’t bother to order it online unless you can get it shipped that same day. It is a game changer for the 2-in-1 laptop if you want to do any serious typing. That is because a keyboard and pen are accessories that do not come in the box with your purchase of the Surface Pro 9.
The Signature Pro keyboard is specifically designed for the Surface Pro, so you know it will fit and connect effortlessly. Even better, the pen recharges in the tray when you are not using it. The pen stays secure and that is a huge priority for me. My last tablet had a pen that was housed on the outside of the keyboard making it easy to fall out. As such, I lost it once while traveling. Replacing the pen was so expensive. When open and in use, a small section of the Signature Keyboard folds over the pen tray trapping the pen so it cannot fall out unless you drop the laptop/keyboard. Microsoft listened to feedback from users when they developed this option.
I connected the keyboard before I even powered up and it was not recognized during my initial computer set-up. To troubleshoot, I ended up removing the keyboard and re-attaching it while also rebooting the computer. That worked like a dream!
The Signature Keyboard is not as large as my laptop full keyboard, but it is still a full mechanical keyset with backlit keys and a large trackpad. I found the key positioning comfortable, and it comes with the quick keys I use most frequently though some are in a different spot than what I am accustomed to.
Once I had set up the Surface Pro 9, I was prompted to calibrate the pen and was asked to indicate whether I was left- or right-handed. As a left-handed person living in a right-hand dominated world, it was so nice to be treated like a first-class citizen and have my experience optimized!
The keyboard is attractive, sturdy. It has the appearance of a fabric exterior, but it isn’t which means it is easy to clean the fingerprints, dust, and crumbs.
What I don’t know is if the separate Signature Keyboard and separate pen are identical to this all-in-one keyboard/pen purchase. If they are, it would be smart to check out the prices for each and buy the cheapest combination since items do periodically go on sale.

Awesome Accessories

This keyboard is an awesome accessory to add to the surface pro. It includes a slot for the pen for storage and when connected to the surface the top magnetically snaps to the top of the screen to securely hid the pen when not in use. The buttons and touch pad feel responsive and clicky like they should and the keyboard itself acts like a cover for the screen when not in use. You can even remove the keyboard if you prefer to use the surface pro as a tablet. The keyboard and pen combo are a little pricey but worth it if you prefer to use the surface pro as a mini laptop. I would definitely recommend this to any new buyer looking to add an additional accessory.
