Review on 🎁 Tomsenn Surface Pro Type Cover: Portable Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad, 7-Color LED Backlit & Rechargeable Battery by Patrick Arnautov

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Accidentally bought at the Lightning promotion.

for the price i paid i got what i paid for. The device fits my Surface Pro 17 perfectly (doesn't connect to Surface, just magnetically snaps into place from below, ie doesn't connect/charge via Surface). It folds over the Surface screen like it's a real Microsoft product, which is really cool, and the magnetic grip is really, really strong - it won't fall off the Surface. The backlit button is bright enough to be used in the dark, but the buttons will dim after 10-15 seconds of non-use. The only thing that confuses is the charging port. It has to be the strangest power port in the world. It took me quite a bit of effort to get it to work (magnetic latches in place and right in the path of use, making it a little tricky to charge while in use). So far, this thing has stayed charged for five eight-hour days of use without draining. Another thing is that when connected to a surface, the keyboard rises as if it has foldable legs, like a regular keyboard. This isn't a problem for me (I like a sloping keyboard), but it's so thin that the "greasers" (ie, give under pressure) are more likely to rest on the work surface than on it. A bit annoying but useful. Also, it always starts with NUMLOCK on, which disables the letter keys. So you must remember to turn off NUUMLOCK every time you start it. SUPER ANNOYING! Not sure why this configuration is the default?

Pros
  • Compatibility: This Surface Pro backlit keyboard is designed for 12.3 inch Microsoft Surface Pro 7/Pro 6/Pro 5/Pro 4/Pro 3. Our magnetic keyboards can be used attached or detached, and the keys offer a more natural typing experience. like a real laptop
Cons
