A must have! This keyboard has a magnet it clips right on surface pro 11. Soft fabric around mouse is a nice touch. Pen is a must have and it charges right on the keyboard no extra plugs needed

The typing experience is awesome and it has a very premium touch and feel with adjustable backlight and soft keys

The Surface Slim Pen 2 and Pro Keyboard are a must-have for anyone using the Surface Pro 8, 9, or 11th Edition. The pen feels natural and responsive—especially with haptic feedback—and the keyboard is incredibly comfortable to type on, with a premium build and smooth magnetic attachment. This combo transformed my Surface into a full productivity powerhouse. Highly recommend for students, professionals, and creatives alike!

If you’re like me and prefer having all original accessories for your devices, then I definitely recommend it. However, the material quality feels a bit below what I expected for the price. Also, adding backlit keys would be an excellent feature — it’s something this keyboard is really missing. I believe brands like Dell or other Apple competitors could do it better.

Good product. Works well as expected. Light and easy to travel with.

This is my first laptop. And im excited to learn it.

I love this cover SOOO much. Neutral has always been my thing and this was perfect to compliment my PC.

Very great key board and vey light so easy for portable situations

Superb product , working great using with 11 pro soft and backlit buttons very smooth operation

NOT bluetooth capable, good quality, excellent condition

The product box inside the package was damaged and looked like it was left outside. The keyboard magnet does not work great.

The Microsoft Surface Slim Pen (2nd Gen) and Pro Keyboard is the mid range option being sold along with the new Surface Pro 11 Copilot+ PC. If you're familiar with previous Surface Pro keyboards, this one won't be unfamiliar to you. The Microsoft Surface Slim Pen (2nd Gen) and Pro Keyboard connects magnetically to the underbody of the Surface Pro. It has a strong magnet and "snaps" into place when in close proximity. It's fairly error proof and once connect, begins working right away. If you have you Surface Pro set to tablet mode when a keyboard is not attached, connecting this keyboard disabled that feature. There is no battery or bluetooth connection on this specific model. If you need that feature, look for the Surface Flex keyboard. They look identical, so mistaking the two seems to be fairly common. Overall typing experience is good. The keys have a rubbery feel which I found nice. The key travel is short and snappy without much movement from side to side, or "bending" feeling. I found it just large enough to not be cramped, and I was able to naturally type almost immediately. They keys also have a backlighting, which brightness can be adjusts. It's picks up on lighting in the room and enables or disabled based on those condition. I found it to do an accurate job of this. You can also manually enable backlighting not automatically detected when needed. There is a Copilot key that triggers Copilot along with other Windows specific shortcuts along the function key row. This makes quickly utilizing built in Windows functions quicker and simpler. The keyboard is wrapped in Alcantara which I found soft and pleasant. It's capable of picking up dirt. I keep a can of Alcanara cleaner at my desk and use it to clean these types of keyboard with frequency. Doing so has kept long term usage signs of ware at bay and my keyboards looking like new. I recommend everyone to do the same, otherwise you will notice dirt and grim building up along with discoloration. The touch pad is pretty awful and probably the worst part about this model. It's not reliable when tapping to click, and mouse movement is simply "ok". It's a "diveboard" style click, and you must position fingers in the right spot to properly depress and register a click. It's also extremely small and does not leave much room for finger travel. There is a nice area at the top to store the Surface Pen 2nd Edition. It clicks right in and there is no fear of it falling out. The pen is slim enough to allow it to remain in the holder with the keyboard elevated and connected to the Surface Pro display. The keyboard needs to be unconnected from that elevated position and lay flat to remove it. I found in elevated position when the keyboard first connected to cover the screen a little bit. Over time, as it broke in, it's now at proper height. Don't be alarmed by this initially, it will settle quickly and fit appropriate. The Surface Pen 2nd Edition is a must have companion along with this keyboard. It connects right away to the Surface without any manual pairing. Writing on the screen feels natural and I didn't notice any lag. Using the back end of the pen acts as an eraser in most apps. Clicking the eraser or the side button can be programmed to open specific apps of your choosing. The button on the side also acts as a mouse click if using the pen as a mouse. They keyboard charges the pen when not in use, so it's always ready to go when you are. The flat design keeps the pen from rolling on the desk, and allows it to securely remain in the keyboard cubby when not in use. Overall, while this is not the best Surface Pro Keyboard Microsoft makes for the Surface Pro, it is a solid choice, costs less than the best, and should be considered when making a Surface Pro purchase. Some extremely minor touch pad design flaws could be fixed to improve the experience, but I would still recommend it to more cost conscious Surface Pro users.

So owning a Surface pro Copilot + PC without owning the Surface slim pen and Pro Keyboard…would be like having an airplane with out wings or a car without tires. I mean I guess you could but you would be really limiting your self. The tablet is amazing by itself for sure but with the sleek, lightweight and visually appealing look of the keyboard really makes this a laptop replacing powerhouse. I also really love how they incorporated the pen case into the keyboard itself. The magnet are strong and secure for both the main connection to the tablet and for the pen. The pen also clamps on to the keyboard itself near the touch pad so you can set it and come back to it quickly. The only nit picky thing I can think of is … the pen…I hate to seven say this… is a little tricky to pull out. Just a little. I wish they would have had an indention on the sides so my index and thumb finger could easily pull it from it magnetic cradle in the keyboard…. NIT PICKY. The material they used for the keyboard is very tactile…like a velvet. What an interesting choice that really lets it stand out. It feels so organic rather than plasticky and industrial. Really cutting edge and frankly a gamble that really pays off and adds to the Surface Pro experience. The pen is slim and feels amazing in the hand. It just feels so natural. It is by far the best pen I have used. Light, sleek and very functional. Ready to go when needed. I also love how responsive it is when writing on the Surface Pro + Copilot. I would have liked it to be the same color as the keyboard or an accent like to the “dune” color…more nitpicky. Overall, I love this and makes for a 365 complete experience when it all comes together!

The Surface Pro is truly an excellent 2-1 device but anyone with a tablet that has the power of some of the best computers knows that they are truly fully formed when you have a keyboard accessory. And the official Microsoft Surface Slim Pen and Pro Keyboard is far and away the best choice to be made! PROS: - Opening this up, it looks fantastic. It’s light, it’s super slim, it’s portable, and it just has a premium feel to it. And setup is you just snap it to the Surface Pro and you are ready to go! - The keyboard itself is really great. It provides and excellent typing experience as it types smoothly and with nice quick response. The spacing on the keys is well done and all in all I really like it! - The trackpad is also a necessary and excellent feature! Optimal size with easy controls and smooth operating as well. - I will also add that I like how the keyboard can lay completely flat and be typed on or be up at a 20% angle or so to type. Gives it nice versatility along with being a cover for the screen itself when you have it closed all together. - The Pen is excellently made, really well done craftsmanship on it. It feels great in the hand, has precision on the screen, and nice built in touch controls as well. It stores safely into the keyboard itself and makes it much more secure than being attached to the outside somewhere instead. CONS: - Really none I can think of! All in all a great experience. BOTTOM LINE: - If you buy the Surface Pro, this is simply the best accessory you can have and the one you should have. It’s a perfect keyboard, provides even more versatility, the pen brings it to the next level, and it all comes in a sleek package. This keyboard is a no brainer!

The Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition and Pro Keyboard pair perfectly with my new Surface Pro 11. Although thin and light, it feels sturdy. The magnetic connection to the tablet is strong and never feels like it will fall off. The keys have a much better feel to them than I would have expected from such a thin keyboard. This is a full function keyboard (minus the numbers pad) and even has backlighting for the keys (wasn't expecting that). The trackpad works beautifully although it is a bit small (to be expected with this form factor). The magnetic charging stall for the pen is perfectly located to keep it handy, charged and secure. As for the pen, it has plenty of customization available and works very well. It glides with ease across the screen. Using it for writing, note taking and creative uses works perfectly. Back to the keyboard, I have it in the sage (gold) color that matches my Surface Pro 11. I'm not sure I'm sold of the fabric-like material of the keyboard. Can't help but think it will get dirty easily. But, that's a wait and see thing and a minor issue if it happens at all. If you have a compatible Surface Pro, this keyboard and pen combo is a must have.

I recently acquired the Surface Pro – Copilot+ PC along with the Surface Slim Pen and Pro Keyboard. . The Dune-colored keyboard is a nice departure from the usual black and gray standards I've always had. It effortlessly attaches and detaches from the tablet thanks to its magnetic connector, offering flexible positioning—either at a tilted angle for comfortable typing or laid flat to reveal the neatly stored Slim Pen in its storage/charging tray (see attached pictures). The Alcantara material covering the keyboard, reminiscent of high-quality felt, not only feels soft but also provides stability and eliminates slippage on any surface I’ve tried it on. A backlit keyboard is a must-have for me, so I appreciate that this one comes with adjustable brightness levels, enhancing usability across different environments. Having been a laptop/mouse user forever, using the Slim Pen for the first time has been quite eye-opening. After a few days of using the keyboard and pen, I've found the experience refreshingly positive in general day-to-day computer usage. I have also edited several videos just using the keyboard/pen vs. a mouse and have found that some functions are quicker using the pen, but trimming/editing clips is more difficult to me, maybe I’m doing something wrong or just need more practice. In my case I think a mouse is still necessary, at least at this point, while I continue to learn using the pen. The track pad is very responsive as are the keys on the keyboard, they have a nice feel and click to both. The Slim Pen stays securely in place within the magnetic storage tray and charges while it's stored. However, I've noticed that it can be challenging to remove from the tray at times. While the magnetic hold is strong and secure, it can be tricky to extract the pen. Adding a finger-sized indentation or something like that to aid in removing it would be beneficial. Currently, I find myself kind of prying it up by the front tip to release it from the tray, hope this doesn’t hurt it in the long run. Overall, I really like this keyboard/pen, just think it could be a little easier to remove it from the storage tray.

Microsoft Copilot+ Surface Pro Keyboard and Pen Stylish, Comfortable and Convenient. summary. Highlights: * Built in try to store and charges the included Pen. * Comfortable to type on. * Large trackpad with tactile clicks. * Even backlighting. * Pen storage area is hidden when keyboard is propped up. * Dedicated key for Copilot. * Dedicated key for Microphone Mute/Unmute. * Function lock key. * Easily detaches to use Surface Pro without the keyboard. Room for Improvement: * Tray that stores and charges pen creates a bump on the lid when closed. * Could be easier to remove the pen from its charging tray. * No convenient place to rest the pen when not in use. * Pen charges only when in the tray in the keyboard and the keyboard is attached to the Surface Pro. Setup: The keyboard itself is powered by the Surface Pro and works only when magnetically connected to the Surface Pro and the connection pins on the bottom edge. Drop the Surface Pen into the tray at the top of the keyboard. It fits in facing left or right and charges while the keyboard is attached to the Surface Pro. Usage: The keyboard magnetically attaches to the bottom edge of the Surface Pro and also magnetically attaches to the face of the Surface when not in use to protect the screen. Open the keyboard lid and the Surface wakes up and unlocks if you have Windows Hello set up. You can immediately start using the keyboard or pull it down a bit further to reveal the Pen tray. Grab the pen and you’re ready to use the Surface by keyboard, trackpad, pen or voice; your choice! The pen magnetically stores facing left or right with the Windows logo and side button facing up so you can see the charging status light. Its great that there is a storage area to keep the pen safe when not in use that also charges the pen, but it’s a bit difficult, at least for me, to remove the pen from that tray. I tend to pull it out by grabbing the writing end which probably isn’t great for the tip. While the pen works great for writing on the screen or navigating Windows, you probably won’t use it 100% of the time. When you put it down to type, use the trackpad or touch the screen with your fingers, there’s no good place for it to hang out while waiting to be picked up again. I’d really like to be able to attach the pen to the side of the Surface Pro as a temporary dock between uses. It kinda hangs from the right edge of the Surface, but more like an afterthought rather than an intentional design choice. And it doesn’t do the same on the left edge of the screen (for Lefties). In the meantime, it kinda magnetically sticks to the right or left palm rest at an angle which keeps it from sliding around on a table, but again, this is more of an afterthought for placement. The keyboard is really nice to type on considering how thin and compact it is. The whole keyboard is backlit with multiple levels of brightness so you can comfortably type in dim rooms like lectures or in the evening at home. There are dedicated keys to mute/unmute the microphone which is super convenient when on video calls. The traditional “PrtScn” (print screen) button has a new icon, and the Fn button has a Fn lock light the same way that the Caps button has a lock light. To support these new Copilot+ Windows PCs, there’s also a Copilot key to the right of the space bar. Tap that button to open the main Copilot app where you can ask your “everyday AI Companion” for anything you need. With the keyboard lid closed against the screen, there’s a significant ridge that is the back of the Pen tray. The lid is no longer flat and smooth with this bump but I still appreciate the ability to store and charge the pen safely and securely. The wrist rest and backside of the keyboard are covered in an Alcantara-like material is soft and comfortable to touch; more so than textured plastic or even leather (or faux leather). I’m a bit concerned about the longevity of this material in high-touch areas like the palm rest as it might be more difficult to keep clean, but least it looks and feels great for now. Overall: The Surface Pro Keyboard and Slim Pen are a great way to expand the functionality of your Surface Pro tablet. The keyboard provides a secure way to store and charge the Pen, plus has dedicated keys to make using your Surface Pro that much more convenient. Overall, you can’t go wrong with this keyboard and pen combo unless you want to upgrade to the version that wirelessly connects to the Tablet and can be used at a distance.

The Microsoft Surface Slim Pen and Pro Keyboard bundle really adds to the usability of the Surface Pro 11th Edition. The keyboard snaps right into the two slots on the edge of the tablet. One slot is the communications and power port. The second appears to be just a slot for stability. The connection is instantaneous, no setup for the pen or the keyboard is needed. Be aware that this keyboard must be physically connected to the tablet. The keyboard makes the Surface Pro much more like a laptop. But just fold the keyboard behind the tablet and you’ve got a tablet again. Don’t worry about pressing the keyboard keys. It doesn’t seem to recognize them when it’s folded back. Ever since I got the Surface Pro, I’ve had trouble getting it to recognize a touch/tap. However, the pen is always recognized. When I use it, I just tap once and it works. Using my finger on the tablet is sometimes very frustrating, requiring repeated attempts to get it to recognize a touch. Typing on the keyboard is WAY faster and more accurate than trying to use the virtual keyboard on the tablet. Even though the keyboard is really low profile, the keys have enough action to make typing feel right. This keyboard does not have removable batteries or a separate charge port. It works while connected to the tablet and simply does not work when it is not connected. The pen is charged when it is in the handy storage area built into the keyboard. The magnets hold everything securely in place. One weirdly entertaining feature is that if you drop the pen in the storage area upside down, the magnets flip it over to the correct charging position automatically. Besides the greatly improved touch recognition from using the pen, it has a really cool erase feature. Just turn the pen over and use the other end as an eraser. Just like an old fashion pencil. I use the whiteboard on virtual sessions all the time and the pen is a must for that. Another feature that I use more than I thought I would, is the dedicated CoPilot key. Just press the CoPilot key on the keyboard and a CoPilot window pops up ready for you to enter or speak an AI prompt or search criteria. So far, the only real irritation is that after the last Windows update and often after I reboot the Surface Pro, I need to physically disconnect then reconnect the keyboard to get it to be recognized. It only takes seconds, but it’s an annoyance. In summary, this pen and keyboard bundle makes the Surface Pro (11th Edition) much more usable. I now feel comfortable taking the Surface Pro (and the keyboard bundle) with me on my next business trip replacing both my tablet and my laptop.

As someone who lives and breathes by the mantra "work smarter, not harder," I'm always on the lookout for gadgets that promise to turn my productivity levels up a notch. Enter the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen (2nd Edition) and the Pro Keyboard for Surface Pro 11. At first glance, these accessories scream "must-have," but do they live up to the hype? Buckle up as I dive into the nitty-gritty of this dynamic duo. --Design and Build Quality-- Starting with the keyboard, it's cloaked in a sophisticated Alcantara material, giving it a premium, tactile feel that’s light as a feather. The magnetically attached mechanism is as smooth as butter—detach and reattach with zero fuss. Plus, it sports a nifty micro-fold that angles the keyboard for a more ergonomic typing experience. Opening and closing the Surface Pro 11 with this keyboard feels almost ceremonial, waking the tablet up or putting it to sleep as if by magic. --Typing Experience-- Typing on this keyboard feels like playing a grand piano—keys are exceptionally responsive and consistent. I clocked in at an impressive 105 words per minute with an 85% accuracy rate on MonkeyType. Whether I'm cranking out emails or deep-diving into code, my fingers glide over the backlit keys with ease, even in low-light environments. --Trackpad Woes-- However, not all is rosy in keyboard land. The trackpad though, leaves much to be desired. When my display magnification is set to 100%, there's a frustrating lag on initial movements that makes precise cursor control a Herculean task. Bumping up the zoom level to 150%+ mitigates this issue somewhat. Additionally, the lack of a haptic feedback trackpad (like the one on the new Flex Keyboard) is a letdown at this price point. The trackpad also has a bit of a rattle, which doesn't inspire confidence in its durability. --Copilot+ Key-- Now, let’s talk about the new ‘Copilot+’ key, which replaces the right ‘Control’ key. For Copilot power users, this is a dream come true, making access to the AI assistant a breeze. However, for folks like me who frequently use the right Control key for text editing shortcuts, this change feels more like a rude awakening. I'd have preferred if Microsoft found a new home for this key without displacing one of my trusty navigational stalwarts. --Slim Pen 2: A Stroke of Genius-- The Slim Pen 2 slots seamlessly into the top of the keyboard, charging effortlessly while it rests. Its new shape is a significant upgrade from my old Surface Pro 6 pen, making it more comfortable to hold and use. As someone who isn’t an artist, I found its performance smooth and consistent for my scribbles and note-taking. However, my niece, who is a budding digital artist, gave it a spin and was impressed. She owns an iPad Pro 13 (M2) with an Apple Pencil and mentioned that the Slim Pen 2 holds its own, especially with tilt and pressure sensitivity. --Drawbacks of the Slim Pen 2-- The one minor gripe I have is that extracting the Slim Pen 2 from its slot can be a bit of a struggle. Maybe with practice, this will become second nature, but for now, it's a slight hiccup in an otherwise stellar experience. -Conclusion- So, is the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen (2nd Edition) and Pro Keyboard for Surface Pro 11 (11th Edition) worth the investment? In a word, yes. Despite a few minor flaws, the overall experience is exceptional, especially if you’re aiming to supercharge your productivity. The build quality, typing experience, and added functionalities like the Copilot+ key and Slim Pen 2 integration make this a must-have accessory for any Surface Pro 11 user. Highly recommend!

The Surface Slim pen 2 and Pro keyboard convert the 2-in-1 Surface Pro into a sleek lightweight laptop and media creation tool. The keyboard instinctively latches correctly onto the tablet into the two designated connector slots via the magnets when positioned close and works perfectly with the Surface kickstand. The two slots provide connectivity and power for the keyboard and passthrough charging for the pen. There is a cavity at the top of the keyboard which houses and charges the slim pen when connected to the tablet. The design allows the cavity to be easily tucked underneath the tablet keeping the pen out of sight during use if preferred. The backlit QWERTY style keys are nicely sized and have good travel and accurate keystrokes. The keyboard backlighting has two brightness levels. The keyboard has a little noticeable flex at times but generally feels solid and performs well during most typing tasks. There is a dedicated Copilot key for launching the Copilot AI app, but otherwise, the keys are standard fare for a Windows PC. The integrated trackpad is accurate and is not prone to errant swipes and selections. There are no hardware click buttons but pad taps and double taps are sufficiently responsive and accurate. The Windows mouse app allows changes such as mouse speed for more granular fine-tuning. The Bluetooth enabled Slim pen 2 can also be used without the keyboard until it need charging. It functions well as a mouse style pointer, especially for media creation. It has good pressure sensitivity for freehand drawing and hand writing on the Surface. There are two buttons on the pen which function similar to mouse buttons and also allow pairing the pen via Bluetooth with other devices. The pen tips last a good while and are replaceable if or when they wear down. The tip doesn’t seem harsh on the Surface Pro glass, which is good because I’m having a hard time finding quality paper style protectors like I use on my other tablet. The pen charges wirelessly via the cavity on the Surface keyboard but does not have a dedicated charger. Overall, the Surface slim pen and keyboard cover are indispensable if using the Surface as a true 2-in-1. They don’t add much bulk or weight and work seamlessly with the Surface. The cover also helps keep the Surface screen protected when not in use. The keyboard is also available in matching colors for the Surface. The pen however only comes in black.
