Good keyboard but imperfect design

The keyboard works well with the surface pro, I love how easy it is to attach and detach and the colors are nice. However, this is too expensive for an accessory to a 2-3 year old product. And the downside of the product design is that this cloth keyboard is incredibly difficult to clean. It's only a problem because the idiot salesman attached a useless pen holder loop to the back of the keyboard with sticky glue. Not wanting to deal with returning an otherwise working product, attempting to…

Pros
  • One-click transformation from tablet to laptop - just slide the Surface Pro 3 Type Cover onto your Surface Pro 3 to transform it into a versatile laptop. One of the thinnest mechanical keyboards on the market, the Surface Pro 3 Type Cover has everything you'd expect from a keyboard.
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

Just click and get started

After reading several reviews of different Bluetooth keyboards for Surface, I decided to go with the official Microsoft version and I'm very glad I did. I have a surface pro 3 and it just clicks and works right away. Without installation and connection. It went so smoothly and it works great. I find that the touchpad can be quite responsive (i.e. sometimes it scrolls or pinches the page even when my fingers are in the center of the touchpad), but it's a lot better than relying on the onscreen…

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Functionality

Mistakenly sold as new

This item was advertised as new by Art Specialty but upon opening the worn packaging I noticed greasy fingerprints on the keys, clearly indicating the key has been used. There were crumbs under the gap and a large flat white crumb on the mouse pad cut into the edge. When I turned it over, there were dusty white fingerprints on the back that didn't rub off. To make matters worse, the inner paper was crumpled and the pen holder tab that comes with the truly novel cap was missing. I contacted the…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Faulty

Warning, misrepresented product, no Pro 3 keyboard

This is a scam! Pro 3 does not fit. It snaps into place and works like a keyboard, but it's 2 inches taller than the Pro 3, so won't work as a case as it's too big when closed and will break if you put it in a pocket with the Pro 3. I've brought one back thinking it was a mistake and they get angry about it and try to pass it off as made for the Pro 3 and it's not. It took weeks back and forth because of their poor sale and really upset my daughter as she still doesn't have a keyboard for her…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Very expensive
