TECHGEAR [Active Strike Pro] Slim Bluetooth Wireless UK QWERTY Keyboard with Mouse Touchpad for Microsoft Surface Pro X, Pro 9, Pro 8 Pro 2017, Pro 4, Pro 3, Surface Go (+Keyboard Carry case)

Got this to pair with my 8" Windows tablet, which is just too small on it's own to be usable without a keyboard - and it's working like a charm.Admittedly such a small keyboard does take a bit getting used to and particular the touchpad can be a bit tricky, but once you start getting the hang of it, it works absolutely great.The quality of the keyboard in itself is excellent and way better than what you'd expect for £13.The keys are responsive and have enough travel before engaging that you're not likely to accidentally type characters just because your fingers lightly brushes the wrong key.The touch pad is very responsive too and works surprisingly well, although as mentioned due to it's overall small size it does take a bit getting used to.The keyboard paired with my cheap china brand Windows 10 tablet without any issues and stays connected without fail so far - although haven't tested the range though as I've had no need to move the keyboard more than 30 cm away from the tablet at most.A neat little design feature is the key section of the keyboard has been "sunk" below the upper and lower edge of the keyboard, and a rubber pad added to each corner means that when lying flat against the tablet (key side towards screen), the actual keys aren't touching the screen.Additional "niceties" is the fairly long charging cable, the storage sleeve and ... (you may find this hard to believe) ... an actual printed user manual in legible English with plenty of details on how to pair and use the keyboard on different operating systems (Android, Windows etc).Overall this is a brilliant little piece of kit that's made using my 8" tablet a lot less of a hassle, and it is worth every penny.

Just ok when connected but randomly drops out... annoying

This was better than i was expecting for the price. The keyboard feels very solid and made of a metal like material. It cam with the sleeve protector as pictured and micro usb cable for charging. Its very easy to setup and comes with a proper instruction manual, not some badly translated chineese book. The rubber pad on the back gives it a good touch too and the keyboard and trackpad dont feel too small too for a portable / small keyboard type. The trackpad also supports gesture controls too which will work well with android which is what i purchased it for. To pair this up simply press the function button and the c button at the same time to enter pairing mode.04/06/2016 I bought the mini version of this keyboard too. Its ideal for more portability its about the same size as a 7 inch tablet approx.

It worked but I stopped using it after 20 minutes use. Having no separate mouse buttons the trackpad is awful to use because hitting for what you expect to be left button pulls the cursor instead. So hard to use. I'll find something with buttons...

I looked carefully for this type of keyboard and read the reviews. So I ordered it and it arrived in very good time.The device is very light and thin. comes with a USB charging cable and wallet cover (which I liked).That's the end of a good experience. Having charged the battery for a number of hours I tried to connect it to my Windows 10 Intel Computstick. I found that when I removed the charging cable the keyboard did not work, seems it did not hold its charge. So I left it connected to the USB so I could use it. The connection was simple and easy to configure. The other serious issue I found with the device was that it was very difficult to control the mouse and click on small targets, i.e. minimising and closing programs etc. I am returning this for a refund.I contacted the supplier and they responded quickly but we could not agree on a solution to replace the keyboard and I am not sure that I want to chance another keyboard and I still think there will be an issue with mouse control. Pity.Dave Iles

I had bought a different make and design bluetooth keyboard for my tablet previously which was hopeless. When I dropped it and it smashed I was pleased to have the opportunity to get something else. For £13 I wasn't expecting much out of the Techgear however this keyboard has already well exceeded my expectations. Paired immediately with my tablet having entered the displayed code. Well made attractive and with clear good sized well spaced keys. I have the larger of the two versions and I am finding it very useable with nice positive keys with a decent action. Not had a problem with my fat fingers. The mousepad also has left and right mouse buttons built into it and this was a nice surprise as it is not clear from the pictures or description. I have some sympathy with those that have said the mouse pad isn't always immediately responsive but that could yet be operator error and improve having learned the particular idiosyncracies. Best used on a flat desktop surface and the material keyboard backing keeps the device secure and ensures no undue clacking against the desk surface. The nicely made padded case it comes with is a worthwhile piece of protection when not in use. This is not an on your lap TV device for which there are better things available. Used for typing this review with my 8" tablet.Update 04/05/17: I had a problem that the shift key was not giving capitals when typing on my Android tablet. I was also experiencing keyboard lag. I traced this to an interaction with Android "Swype" which I use when not using the keyboard with my tablet. Disabling Swype temporarily in Android settings when using the keyboard both fixed the no-capitals issue and also eliminated keyboard lag.
