Review on Arteck Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad for Microsoft Surface Go 3, Surface Go 2, and Surface Go - Built-in Rechargeable Battery by James Stevenson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does what it's supposed to do

Edit 06/19/2020: I've been using this keyboard every day for 5 days. The battery lasts 2-3 days, but charges quite quickly. The keyboard disconnects from my tablet EVERY TIME I close it (not turn it off, close it) and it annoys me that you have to reconnect every time you want to use it. My husband has a large Surface Pro and an original Microsoft keyboard. I usually took his tablet to send emails and things that required more typing, but I settled on my own keyboard. The original Microsoft keyboard is now around $90 for looks, so I thought I'd give it a try. The original Microsoft keyboard does not need to be charged because it does not require batteries. On the other hand, it comes with a USB charging cable. According to the instructions, charging takes 2-3 hours. It came charged and I used the battery that came with it, so I'll be upgrading after a few months of use. This keyboard is much thicker than the original but also heavier. If you want to put this on the cover, you may not be able to close it. It does what it's supposed to and is easy to use. I hope that doesn't change. The keys are similar to those of a cheap keyboard that you will buy. Ladies, please note that if you have long nails like me, you will lose the letters very soon. Keep the papers that come in the box (even keep the box if possible) as there is a 2 year guarantee. Aside from the thickness, battery issues, and buttons that look cheaply printed, it does what it's supposed to do.

Pros
  • Robust workmanship
Cons
  • Was damaged
