Customer Ratings & Reviews

For a folio style keyboard cover I have to say I’ve been fairly impressed with this set. The keys feel pretty good as someone who normally uses a mechanical keyboard of some sort for work and at home. I do think that the touchpad while good functionality wise could use to be a tad bit bigger but I get that space is limited on this size of keyboard. One nice feature is that you can have the keyboard plugged in and fully flat or it will magnetically fold up to the screen to give a bit of angle. This has the added benefit of hiding the pen if you’re not using it and it’s in the charging spot. Overall keyboard wise it’s a good setup and easy to type on. The pen is also great. It’s very usable without much if any noticeable lag during use which is an improvement over past pens I’ve used for tablets. The shape does take some getting used to but overall it’s not too bad once you use it for a bit. The only thing I had an issue with is the side button was very easy to activate on accident with the way I was holding it, so I had to disable its action in the pen settings. The nice thing is adjusting the pen settings like what the buttons do is super easy with the surface settings app. Overall pen feel is OK, it is pen on glass so it’s a little smooth which does take some getting used to if your normally a pencil/pen on paper type of note taker. As a package the keyboard and pen are both really great overall though and I think it is a great addition to the surface as a whole computer package.

This keyboard should automatically be included when you buy any Microsoft Surface. It improves the functionality of the computer ten fold. I will always love the ease of a tablet but this keyboard takes it to another level. If you do any sort of typing, this is a must have. Set up of the keyboard is super simple as there is none! It sets itself up due to the magnetic connection. It is soo thin so it barely adds any bulk to the Surface. And even tho it's thin, it's nice and sturdy. It has 2 positions when attached depending on if you want it flat or angled. It can also be detached and used through Bluetooth. If you want the surface farther away or on a stand like a monitor, that's a nice feature. The keyboard acts as a case for the front of the tablet protecting the screen, you'll probably want to still get a case for the back. I have a folio style case and this keyboard fits in perfectly. It has backlit keys and 3 levels of brightness. The feel of typing is great with the nice, soft clicky keys. The track pad also has a great feel to it. It's very responsive. This keyboard is a premium feeling accessory and a must have!

This detachable keyboard is just as good if not better than last generation. The keys and touchpad seen more clicky and responsive than the last one. The pen works great with writing notes and magnetically connect in the slot in the keyboard for charging and safe keeping. The keyboard magnetically attaches to the pro and can be used as a cover to keep the screen safe. The new keyboard I noticed has the new copilot button for easy AI access for help with search so you don't have to keep accessing the copilot app through the start menu. Although you can also use the tab from the task bar as well. The look and feel of the keyboard is sleek so it look really nice when the Pro is closed and the soft felt material is a nice feel that is not rough on your wrists when typing. Overall I'd say this accessory is definitely worth the money to be used as a cover when the pro is not in use and also when you don't want to use the onscreen virtual keyboard or just all touch. I would definitely recommend it to any consumer. Well done Microsoft on this years Surface Pros and accessories!

I have been a surface user for many years. I have always liked the keyboard covers they developed. The keyboard cover for the Surface Pro Copilot+ may be the best one yet. First, like its predicessors its very thin and light. The black keyboard gace looks great and the felt reverse side feels and looks premium. As has been the case with precious Surface covers, this one snaps snugly and tightly to the Surface. Second, the quality and smoothness of the keyborad is fantastic. The keys do not raise much off the surface but typing stll feels very fluid. I dont experience any typing speed reduction when using this ovwr a standard keyboard. The keyboard also has the Copilot+ plus keybwhich is the new AI funtionality Microsoft has built into Windows. It makes it very easyb to.pull up the AI functionality. Finally, there is a pen holdebuilt into the case to hold the screen pen. To the best of my knowledge this is the first time Microsodt has done this and its a great addition for keeping the pen handy. This is another great Durface cover/keyboard from Microsoft.

Easy to detach when needed to have a truly tablet experience or quickly snap back onto the device for when a keyboard and trackpad are preferred. This latest Surface Pro keyboard houses a stylus pen that fits into a little magnetic slot at the top of the keyboard and hides away when not needed. The pen feels comfortable to use and fits perfectly in the writing hand even with its flatter design. It would be nice if Microsoft included the keyboard with the device as it's a pretty essential piece in the Surface experience. The keyboard is backlit and feels comfortable to type on. The keys have a nice tactile feel to them for such a thin keyboard. The trackpad is smooth and responsive. Not quite as large as on some 13-inch devices I've seen, but a decent size. The keyboard is powered by the Surface device, so it has to be attached to use it. It magnetically snaps into an inclined position or can lay flat if desired to access the pen slot. It also provides screen protection in the closed mode.

This is the “standard” keyboard that is available for the Surface X. Although it matches the Dune color of the tablet that I recently reviewed, it is not really any different from the Surface keyboards that came with the older tablets. The one addition here is the inclusion of the special pen that can be used for selecting, drawing, and writing depending on the active app. I used it when doing a sketch while testing the CoPilot+ features in the Paint app, but in general I don’t think that I’ll be using it much. It was easy to type on the keyboard and it was plenty comfortable to use. I’m generally not a fan of trackpads, but this one worked well for me. The tap-to-select did seem overly sensitive though even when set to the lowest sensitivity setting. In my opinion, it would be worth spending the extra money to get the newer-style keyboard that works even when detached from the tablet. That’s not how this one works, so it is really no different than the other keyboards that have been offered for a number of years.

Microsoft - Surface Slim Pen (2nd Edition) and Pro Keyboard for Pro (11th Edition), Pro 9, and Pro 8 – Black The Pro Keyboard makes a nice appearance and feels comfortable with the Alcantara material front and back. It is compatible with the Surface Pro 11, 9 or 8 editions and offers variable backlighting of the keys and special keys including those to mute the microphone or snip adjustable screen shots. The keys are mechanical with the keyboard being raised and attached magnetically along the front at the lower edge of the Surface Pro for an inclined typing experience, or it can be lowered so that it’s flat on the desktop as well. While not a particularly noisy keyboard, it is a little quieter in a flat position. In the inclined position there is a certain give or flex while typing but not enough to be a problem or distraction. When connected to the Surface Pro, it does so magnetically with pins on the lip of the keyboard engaging the bottom of the Surface Pro. When the keyboard is folded up across the screen, it attaches magnetically putting the Surface Pro to sleep and providing screen protection as well. The keyboard can be folded all the way back the other way with it flush against the back of the Surface Pro when using the Surface Pro as a tablet. Unlike the Surface Pro 11 Flex Keyboard, the Pro Keyboard does not have BT or a battery for use separately from the Surface Pro. The keyboard has a larger size touch pad that is quite smooth and easy to operate. It is a mechanical touch pad, so there is clicking, and not a haptic touch pad that doesn’t move as the Surface Pro 11 Flex Keyboard has. It comes with the Slim Pen 2 that nestles magnetically in a slot above the keys where it is securely protected and charges there only when the keyboard is connected to the Surface Pro. The Slim Pen 2 looks like a carpenter’s pencil with its flattened sides that I find quite comfortable and easy to hold when using. The inking experience is excellent with no issues that I noted. It’s an excellent tool for navigation, writing or sketching. While the Slim Pen 2 feels better on the screen while writing (better than the Apple Pencil 2 on the iPad’s screen), it still isn’t like writing on paper. It is, after all, a solid nib on a hard glass screen so it’s still slick with not much friction even though the haptic feedback through the pen provides some feeling of texture on the screen. Nevertheless, it doesn’t provide real friction between the nib and screen so expect a similar writing experience to other pens or stylus’s being used on a glass screen. Lastly, there is a special use key on the keyboard called the CoPilot key. Originally, it’s use was to open up a kind of AI assistant that could be directed to not only do what the downloadable version of CoPilot can do on any Windows machine, but for use as a more integrated AI experience with the Surface system enabling you to have CoPilot change settings and similar activities. However, that attribute was stripped away and now the key’s only role is to open CoPilot more as a PWA (like you would get if you opened CoPilot from a web browser). Once open in a window taking up the screen, you chat with it through text input as you would on any computer having CoPilot downloaded on it. It is a disappointing use of a special key taking up space on your keyboard. Overall, the Surface Pro Keyboard and Slim Pen 2 combo are a useful and necessary addition to your Surface Pro. Any intention of AI integration with your Surface Pro is missing and a disappointment lessening its combined capabilities with your Surface Pro.

One of the top main complaints about the Surface Pro type covers since its initial release is that it should have been included with the Surface Pro to begin with. But most Surface Pro buyers would not purchase it if it were the total cost of the devices, so I think Microsoft has had the right idea in selling them separately. With that said, you really have to consider how you use a keyboard and stylus to decide if it's worth the money for you. Don't purchase it just because you see the media and promotional materials pairing them all together. That's the beauty of them being sold separately. This particular product bundles the Surface Pro keyboard with the Surface Slim Pen 2, and is compatible with the new Surface Pro 11th edition, so its size covers the tablet screen perfectly. They're both also compatible with certain older models such as the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Pro 9. I've only personally tested them with the new Surface Pro 11th edition. The Pro keyboard still uses the suede/microfiber-feeling material known as Alcantara. If you've used one of these keyboards before you should be familiar with the pros and cons. It feels premium and comfortable to touch but the material will wear over time. I don't expect any different from this keyboard. The Pro keyboard is powered by the Surface Pro itself, which it magnetically connects to, so you never have to worry about charging it as you would with Bluetooth keyboards. It will always be ready to use. The keyboard is also backlit despite its very thin profile, and you have the option to turn it off. I found typing decent with the Surface Pro keyboard but it will bother users who expect more key travel. There's just no way around it with a device as thin as this is. There is now a CoPilot key located on the right side of the keyboard where the Context menu key used to be on older keyboards. Unfortunately I haven't used it much because CoPilot hasn't been practically useful to me since it makes a lot of errors for my particular use case. But your mileage may vary. Microsoft is betting on AI and that's where the computing market is general is heading, so if they don't abandon it like Cortana (which arguably evolved to CoPilot anyway) maybe it will grow to be useful and I can be glad the dedicated key exists. There's no native way to remap the keys, but you probably can using third party software. The touchpad is large enough and glass, which feels great, but it doesn't have haptic feedback because there isn't the motor for it. That's reserved for the more expensive Flex keyboard model. There is a pen storage well placed above the keys and now left exposed for easy access to the Slim Pen 2 whenever you need it. Not only does it hold the Slim Pen 2 magnetically, it charges it as well. The Slim Pen 2 has a flat design, which I'm not the biggest fan of. Through online research, I found out this design is that of a carpenter's pencil. The thing is, one wouldn't use a carpenter's pencil to write or draw if they had the choice. So it seems like they chose this design so it's flat enough to conceal within the type cover. I can get used to it, but it's not my preference. I also found the button a bit hard to press, but that can be a good thing because I won't accidentally press it while I'm using the pen. Pressure sensitivity is nice but I'm not an artist nor do I draw. I don't know how to elaborate in a meaningful way for artists that would use the Slim Pen 2 to draw unfortunately. But it does ink at variable thickness based on the amount of pressure you use while writing/drawing with it. The top end of the pen serves as a digital eraser, which is nice and feels intuitive. The cool thing about the Slim Pen 2 is its haptic feedback. Previously people would suggest using a textured screen protector to simulate the pen on paper feel, but I never liked how those change the look of the screen just for the sake of that. With the haptic feedback, the pen feels like there's friction while writing/drawing with it, which just enhances the user experience. I can comfortably recommend it to Surface Pro users who type on-the-go, and have a need to use the pen a lot. But as a reminder, if that doesn't fit your profile, you don't HAVE TO spend that much. If you don't see yourself using the pen much or at all, don't get this. Get the cheaper model with just the keyboard. If you use the Surface Pro as a tablet most of the time and don't see yourself using a physical keyboard, or more comfortable using a bluetooth keyboard with better key travel. Otherwise the Surface Pro keyboard with Surface Slim Pen was made for the Surface Pro, especially the 11th edition. Literally.

If you just want a tablet, the Surface Pro is good enough. If you want to unlock the full "laptop" capability of the Surface Pro, then you need this Keyboard/Pen accessory. The ingenious way it magnetically connects to the Surface Pro and securely holds and hides the pen when not being used is slick. This keyboard/pen is such a must have accessory for the Surface Pro that one can almost debate that it should come standard with the purchase of a Surface Pro. The keyboard is backlit, keystrokes are smooth and soft but still have positive feedback, and is built for the Surface Pro generation 11 because this keyboard comes with a CoPilot AI specific key. This allows you to pull up the CoPilot feature immediately without having to navigate Windows 11 to find the AI features. Another big improvement over previous generations of the Surface Keyboard accessory is the ability to use it disconnected from the Surface Pro. The Pen is a great tool. The tip is touch sensitive and the other end of the pen acts as an eraser for drawing apps. You never have to worry about battery life because the storage slot in the keyboard also acts as a wireless charger. All it all, if you are going to buy a Surface Pro, make sure you budget the extra amount to pick up this Keyboard/Pen accessory because sooner or later you will want this and just makes using the Surface Pro a much more magical experience.

The Surface Pro keyboard and Slim Pen 2 are very good accessories for the Surface Pro that expand the already great capabilities of the new Microsoft Surface Pro 11 that is the latest Microsoft product to use the new Qualcomm Elite Plus and Elite X chipsets. The keyboard comes in four matching colors that correspond to the colors of the new devices. My particular model is the new Dune color. The keyboard has a two tone effect, in which the outer cover is one color, and the actual keyboard keys and the trackpad are in a darker shade. I really like this color scheme. They keys are backlit and the backlight level is adjustable, and can also be turned off if desired. The trackpad is a glass slab of the "diving board" type. It is good, but could be somewhat larger, but that is not too much of an issue for me. One new feature of this keyboard is the addition of a dedicated key for the Microsoft Copilot app. The materials for this keyboard are comfortable to the touch and seem very sturdy. The Microsoft Slim Pen 2 is great for note taking and drawing with the Surface. It can be used for general interactions with the touchscreen which is useful for me. My only minor complaint is that it doesn't come in a color other than black, but I have no issues with it's use. I highly recommend purchasing both of these accessories for the new Surface! They can be used with the older Pro 9 as well.

surprisingly convenient to have the functional detachable keyboard.

Works great and is simple to use. Love the magnetic attachment.

The Surface Slim Pen andPro Keyboard are a must if you like typing and touchscreen. I know that sounds counterintuitive but the pen helps use the touchscreen. The keyboard, at the risk of pointing out the obvious, is so much better than typing on the screen. Typing on the tablet is fine and works grear, but the keyboard makes it so much better. Obviously it makes the computer more like a laptop while having the flexibilty of a tablet, if that's what you want. You can lay it flat or it connects magnetically and stand up at a slight angle the way that I personally prefer a keyboard. The one ding that I wold take it down for is that it's not backlit. Sorry, but with LEDs being so cheap and accesible, there's no reason not to have a backlit keyboard. Just unacceptable in my opimiom. The pen is great and I would reccomend hgihly. I use it contantly and it's an extensions of your finger. Just tsp on the screen, which is beautidutl, and it's like touching with your fingure. I would highly recommend this keyboard snd pen/

Sometimes doesnt turn on automatically when first attached.

Works well with my new microsoft pro snapdragon x elite

I like the keyboard but i am not too keen on the material used. It gets dirty easily.

Recently preordered this from the store, and was advertised as if the keyboard had Bluetooth. The keyboard does NOT have Bluetooth connection like advertised on their website and listed on their specs. I talked to customer care because I thought the Bluetooth just wasn't working on my keyboard, and they told me that it did have Bluetooth and my keyboard was broken which was a complete lie, and after further research, I realized that this model does NOT have Bluetooth connection, so don't be fooled by what it says on their website and what customer care tells you. Very disappointed in this, I am also a BestBuy plus member and hate to be treated like this.
