Review on πŸ’» Wireless Bluetooth V5.0 Keyboard for Surface Pro with Two-Button Trackpad, Rechargeable Battery by Eric Avina

Great alternative to MS Surface Pro keyboard

This MS Surface Pro Bluetooth Keyboard works exactly the same as the original MS Surface Pro Keyboard in every way. When I first received it, it took about 90 minutes to charge the keyboard with the included USB-C. I found the charging connection to be very practical and did not cause any functional problems with the cable connected. Tip: Connect to a Surface Power USB so you can charge your Surface and KB at the same time. Advantages. I tie a wrapped USB-C cable to the building block so I can connect both cables to the Surface (I used my own; see "Cons" below) - can use the keyboard detached from the Surface; Really comfortable - Key travel makes this a far superior MS-OEM keyboard for typing - Tactile feedback from the keys is great; OEM keys have always had a "soft" feel - prefer the feel of the material used for the palm rest area; Smoother with some texture compared to OEM which feel better. The immediate result I found was that it was a lot easier to clean - The magnetic mount and keyboard folding when plugged in was the same as the MS OEM - FN + Spacebar to toggle on and off is cool and convenient. short; I would welcome a longer cord so I don't have to move the brick closer to the cord. Charging the keyboard is a hassle, but I find that being able to use the keyboard anywhere pays off, and once charged it really isn't. Problem because the keyboard battery life exceeds the lifespan of my Surface. Overall a great MS OEM keyboard alternative for less than half the price of an OEM keyboard. Highly recommended
