Surface Pro 9 Keyboard, Backlight Detachable Bluetooth Keyboard for 13 inch Surface Pro 8/X, with Trackpad/Pen Holder - Grey

I'm glad I chose this product.I bought a used surface to do some light work and was dismayed at the prices of the "official" keyboards I saw at retailers like Best Buy. It seemed like off-brand keyboards were also a bit over my (admittedly frugal) expected price point. Thankfully, I was able to pick this up on sale for ~$25, and it has exceeded expectations.- Input lag for typing is low and I've experienced no problems at my 95-110 typical typing pace.- Trackpad has a small delay, which was both expected and is low enough to be a non-issue.- USB-C charging port means that my SP7, stylus, keyboard and phone all have the same type of charger, which can be rotated between the devices as needed (which isnt often, but knowing a single, easily replaceable cable is all that is necessary to run my setup is a delight)- Every once in a while I charge the keyboard for a few minutes on a bathroom break, and it's yet to die in over a week's worth of use. I've never lost power or had as much as a low battery warning.- Bluetooth was easy to connect initially, and I havent had any kind of connectivity issues experienced in other reviews.- The magnets that hold the keyboard up slightly for a better typing angle are quite strong. I need to press down on the keyboard enough to flex the whole thing to get it to separate, which will simply never happen naturally.- Simple backlight with multiple colors/intensities for you night owls.

I bought a Microsoft Surface keyboard from Microsoft when I bought my first Surface (6). Now I have a Surface 7 and continued to use the old keyboard without issue. Unfortunately, the keyboard is now fraying at the ends. I decided to buy a new, less expensive keyboard, and a cover for my surface. The Qulose has very high ratings, albeit limited, so let me be the first one-star rating. The keyboard is beautifully designed. The sturdiness is welcomed, the choice of color backlit is fantastic, and it looks like it should work normally. It doesn't. The keyboard has many ghost touches. I am reviewing a dissertation that's 168 pages, after a couple of pages of ghost touches and the save-as prompt populating when hitting the PgDn button, I switched back to my usual keyboard.After a few days, I decided to try the keyboard again. Initially, when I used this keyboard, I thought the keyboard was slow or unable to turn on because I tried to turn it on 'out of the box' without charging it. This time, I realized, the keyboard is just very slow to turn on. It was charged fully (approximately 10ish hours) but it still would not turn on despite me pushing the "power on" button for about 10 seconds. I pressed it quickly to see if that would work...nope. Several pressings later, the keyboard finally lit up. The Microsoft Surface automatically works, with no power button, also, it doesn't need to be charged. While, this can be a minor inconvenience, to me, it was annoying, because the power button seems unresponsive.Now onto the dissertation again, the same issues occurred, but now, instead of only dealing with ghost touches that cause random page jumping, it also would trigger the Surface touch keyboard to populate. Now, half the screen is blocked by the keyboard that shouldn't have populated because I am using a physical keyboard. Next observation, the keyboard goes to sleep. When it does, the PgDn button triggers the save as button. After a couple of pages of this, I requested a return.Ultimately, for a paper, this keyboard is terrible. Typing a comment, only to end up typing in a paragraph a few pages earlier/later, is a waste of my time to fix continuously. Deleting a word, only to end up deleting a different word and at one time an entire paragraph, is a grave functionality issue. Also, sleep shouldn't mean, being dysfunctional when awakened. The power button should be more responsive (About 3 seconds to start). This keyboard needs to be recalibrated and fixed for use by the public. Currently, it is subpar. It's not enough to look pretty.

It's a great keyboard. I love the backlight function that can change colors and contrast as well. The customer service with the company was also good where I did have an issue in the happily assisted me with my problem. I recommend I deducted one stars because I've had issues. As soon as it detaches from the computer you have to reconnect it and lock back in. That's the computer will log you out. That may be a function built in to the computer itself for safety I do not know.

Actually a decent replacement keyboard. Only downside is the keyboard requires charging. It paired well and responds decently.

It works. Highest praise I can give.Batteries don't last super long... And because it looks and feels so similar to the original, I forget I have to turn it on and off. Which uses up the battery even faster.Magnets that latch it to the tablet will release randomly while moving the tablet.When the keyboard is folded under the tablet, the keys don't disable like the original keyboard. So you will accidentally hit keys. I Deleted 6 hours worth of work instantly! And I couldn't undo it because apparently it hit the delete button... Which must have registered as hitting it 100's of times, and no matter how many times I tried to hit "undo" it didn't go back far enough to restore my work.On the plus side because it's Bluetooth... It works when disconnected... So I can be drawing on my tablet on the right side or my recliner, and have the keyboard on the left arm rest when I need to hit shift or enter.If you are going to cheap out and buy a generic replacement... Spend the extra money and get one with a light up keyboard. This one is almost impossible to read in the slightest shadows.It also has a REALLY bad issue of reading heavy key strikes as 5-10 strikes. I learned to type on typewriters and mechanical keyboards... so I strike pretty hard. Now I have to gingerly tap on it like I'm trying not to pop a soap bubble.It does work, and it's cheap.That's about it
