Review on Black Microsoft Surface Pro Type Cover bundled with Platinum Surface Pen by Hugh Starr

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice design and feel, much better than other manufacturers' keyboards

I'm in love with this keyboard! I bought it in platinum and it is beautiful. The color is a little lighter than the picture, but I like it better. When I bought my Surface Pro 4 a year and a half ago, I didn't want to spend $100 on a keyboard because it felt like a rip off to me. Instead, I decided to buy a $40 non-Microsoft keyboard from Moko. The keyboard worked for me but was never great quality and I didn't realize I had to charge the keyboard separately when I bought it which was a little annoying. The Moko keyboard just broke and I decided to invest in this Microsoft case rather than spend another $40 on another keyboard that will probably only last a year. It was definitely worth it. Yes, I still think it's overpriced, but if you have a Surface Pro (nice computer) you probably need a good keyboard. This keyboard is much better in quality than the fakes on Amazon and Ebay. I love that I no longer have to charge the keyboard and the keys are backlit which is great. I type much more fluently and accurately than on my old keyboard. The keys are also much quieter than other brands. All in all, if you're trying to decide whether you should buy a genuine Microsoft font cover or another brand, go for a genuine Microsoft keyboard. You'll probably end up spending the same amount on several other keyboards because they won't last long. Too bad I only got a proper cover to start with so I didn't have to deal with a poor quality keyboard all the time.

Pros
  • Accurate drawing and nibs with 4096 pressure points that respond to the lightest touch
Cons
  • So far so good
