If there was one thing I knew would be a real struggle moving back to Windows from MacOS it was the keyboard. I loved the magic keyboard and every trip around a PC World or similar to see other chiclet style keyboards offered nothing in comparisonWhen I saw this advertised I honestly thought, nope, it will be a good effort but not really worthwhile. How wrong was I...Honestly, this just makes me happy typing again and I type a lot.It's the same size as the magic keyboard (with number pad) and works just as well.The aluminium top gives it that quality feel, they keys themselves when pressed feel almost rubbery but they are not. They have a bit more travel than the Apple version but still,

The Microsoft Surface Bluetooth Keyboard is by far the best keyboard I've used. As someone who types around 120 words per minute, I'm very picky when it comes to keyboards. The Microsoft Surface Bluetooth Keyboard has perfect key-travel, feels great to type on, doesn't miss a key-stroke, and works great with Linux (I don't use Microsoft Windows at all, period). On Linux, things like the volume control and brightness controls work, as does the "lock" key (which I find very handy). Something I really like is the perfect UK key layout - all the keys are in the "right" place (something that isn't always the case with cheap keyboards).It would have been nice if this keyboard included backlighting,

Currently typing on this right now and I can tell you it's great.I've always been using a Mac keyboard with a PC for about a decade now and honestly think they make for great keyboards. The build quality, how your fingers glide across the keys and how silent it can be to type on. The Apple keyboard is a joy to use, but only one downside is that the hotkeys needs to be custom programmed to make them work.With the launch of the Microsoft Surface Keyboard, I can finally ditch the Mac keyboard and finally use all the hotkeys like they were intended to.I'm not going to lie, it feels and looks like Microsoft has literally ripped the Mac keyboard, with some minor adjustments here and there, but who cares?

I'm in my 50s, so I have used a few keyboards in my time, everything from round keyed typewriters of the past, through electric typewriters, clunky early IBM bash-it-out mechanicals on the first PCs, membrane ZX81s, early laptops, more clicky membranes, several different modern mechanicals: blue keys, brown keys, red keys, and now this!Like a pen, you eventually arrive at what suits your way of writing best, for me this is probably it.I prefer writing with an old-fashioned, italic nibbed fountain pen, so I had rather convinced myself that I would prefer the retro of a mechanical keyboard, but no. This keyboard is fabulous.It is deliciously crisp to type on,

It's a superb keyboard and I actually believe I type faster and more accurately with it. Key travel is just right and all keys are where they are meant to be (non of these strange layouts or extra wide keys of other keyboards). I would have given it 5 stars except for 2 issues for me.1) It slow to recognise with Windows on boot up. This might be just because its bluetooth and Windows has to start the service and connect the keyboard. It doesn't matter at the end of the day I have to wait to key in my password, I've never had to do this with a wired keyboard.2) If you rely on the function keys a lot its a little frustrating switching modes with the Fn key and what makes it worse is the light that tells you its in this mode goes off after a few seconds of inactivity.

Pros:Nice construction, solid cast aluminium chassis,Designed not to take up too much desk space,Key action is nice to type on (though isn't in the premier league of good mechanical switch keyboards)Low profileBluetooth connectivity is fast, even when waking from sleep (I've not experienced any of the problems expressed elsewhere)Easy to set upCons:White text on medium grey makes it hard to discern keys, especially in low light,The 'Lock button' in the top right corner of the keyboard is REALLY annoying. If you are right handed and your mouse is near the keyboard, there is a good chance your hand will brush against the button,

I bought this to go with a 2018 Surface Pro. It is a really attractive design and a pleasure to type on. There is no backlighting which is not an issue for me as I use it for desktop work in a lit environment. My initial complaint (which took away 2 stars) is that it did not work consistently. The first several days, every day it lost its pairing with the surface pro. This meant I had to do the dance of logging in via tablet mode, going into settings and repairing the keyboard. It was not particularly convenient and convenience is a big part of the sell for a wireless keyboard.A month or so on and something changed because now it seems to stay paired all the time and just kicks in when it is needed.

Fantastic keyboard, even better than the excellent wired Apple keyboard I've been using for years. It's light but rock solid on the desk surface, key travel is about perfect giving a bit more movement than on a good 'clicklet' laptop keyboard, just enough to feel study. The build and finish are inline with Microsoft's recent run of very high quality hardware, looks lovely on the desk.Loses one star for the bloody mean decision to not include a bluetooth dongle. I understand Microsoft's reasoning, that this is a keyboard to pair with a Surface PC but why hamstring those of us who want to extend our Surface relationship to a desktop? I finally found a dongle that worked (Act Bluetooth 4.0 USB)

An excellent keyboard! Typing, quality, looks, this keyboard owns all of them! But wait! Who suggested the "PrintScreen" key to be above the "Backspace" key? In 99% of the keyboards, this is where the "Delete" key is. Why exactly would you need such a big key for"printscreen", while you have such a tiny key for "delete"? What key do you use vastly more often between the two? That is a big NO to Microsoft's design, at least in my opinion! I was considering to return the keyboard just for this, but it is so nice and lovely that I could not send it back... Otherwise, dont think about it. This is the best keyboard for office use, regardless the price range!

After 2.5 years using the Surface Pro Keyboard (which is still handy when on the move) I moved to the Surface Keyboard and what a difference it has made. The keyboard is sturdy and solid, yet responsive and easy to use. Lots of additional features and the addition of a number pad makes a massive difference when you are working with numbers all day.The keyboard looks great and performs well. Pricey compared to other, similar products but worth every penny. Bluetooth connection was achieved in a matter of seconds.Pros: Looks great, solid and sturdy, doesn't wobble or move around. Number Pad and some handy function buttons (screen lock)Cons: None

It's rare that i write a review about a product - but this keyboard is epic. It's the best keyboard I've ever used - and trust me, I work in IT and have done for 20 years - it's awesome.The only drawback is that it's Bluetooth. Whilst this is fine for most use cases, my environment requires that I type in a BIOS power on password - this is before the keyboard connection is activated. It's annoying that I have to use my laptop keyboard, but it's worth it as it's a joy to type on.I did purchase the Surface Mouse - but I wouldn't bother with that. The profile is too slim and was not easy to us - I felt my hand trying doing a forced grip.

I really like this keyboard - it has a great but not overly loud sound while typing, good key travel distance, very slim profile and excellent key shortcuts - I LOVE the calculator button and use it constantly. Depending on what kind of typing style you have it may not be the best for you if you are used to more mechanical keyboards with greater depth etc - but having worked on a laptop for many years the transition between my laptop and this keyboard is really easy and smooth which I think is partly the reason why I like it. But it's also just really nice :-) recommended!

Great keyboard to type on. Extremely well built and you can't help but draw the comparison to the Apple keyboards. If anything this Surface keyboard feels a bit more rigid and robust.Where it falls down slightly on is already some of the most commonly used keys are wearing off / going shiny - and it's only been a few weeks. For that reason I'll give it 4 stars as in my opinion for the price point the keys should last longer.Not product related but a terrible delivery experience with Hermes on this, I really don't know why Amazon use them.

I love this keyboard. The additional keys are also handy, such as the calculator button and the button to lock the keyboard. It does disconnect randomly but that looks like its due to the Bluetooth drivers on my laptop - which I cannot update as its a corporate locked down device. Shame keys are not backlit. Its a well made and solid keyboard, has the quality feel to it.Looking to purchase the Enhanced keyboard once its released as it has a finger print reader, as long as the price is right. Will hook that up to my Surface Pro.

This keyboard really is a joy. Like many, I've been using the old Apple wired full size keyboard with my PC, which always had software issues. Now, I finally have a worthy replacement for the Apple. The key click action on this thing is perfect. Just the right amount of key travel. The industrial design is also top notch. The only downsides for me are: the Bluetooth dongle I use occasionally doesn't connect on starting windows and I can't use this prior to Windows starting (e.g. to adjust BIOS settings). But overall a winner.
