Review on πŸ’» Black Microsoft Surface 3 Type Cover, US/Canada English (A7Z-00001) by John Hattalli

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Expensive accessory

I've had the Surface 3 Type Cover for a few months now and I have to say it's just not worth the money. It's great as a cover. It connects to a good latch, the magnet is strong and I don't see anything wrong with it other than the price! My problem is with the keyboard and I used my old Logitech K480 bluetooth keyboard which works much better than this one for about a quarter of the price. This keyboard feels cheap, makes a lot of noise and, worst of all, lags a bit severely when typing. Everyone seems to know the latency problem, but nobody has a solution for it. However, the Logitech keyboard does not have this problem. It also seems to be a lot more durable than this one and doesn't make the weird resonating noises that this one does. The only downside is that it's bulky and doesn't travel well. It's a shame I didn't spend the money on this item. If it was included in the price of the Surface I wouldn't find it that bad, but as an expensive add-on it's just not worth it.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Upgradable
