Review on πŸ”‹ Arteck Ultra-Slim Portable Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad and Rechargeable Battery - Designed for Microsoft Surface Pro by Jeremy Floyd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Functionally not a real replacement

I've been using this keyboard for two weeks with my Surface Pro 5. I charged it fully before first use, plugged it in with no problems and charged it once. I always leave the USB cable plugged into my Surface charger. My only complaint was that there is no backlight, but for the price I could live with that. Then disaster struck. My Surface received a partial update and I turned on the device and found that the touchscreen stopped working. I couldn't swipe and log in with my PIN, and Bluetooth didn't work even after turning the keyboard on and off. Luckily I work in the IT department and was able to find a real keyboard to hook up to my Surface and save the day. Now that my surface is up to date everything is working again, but I'm still worried that if I can't grab another "genuine Microsoft keyboard" it will happen again.

Pros
  • I'm crossing my fingers
Cons
  • I'm nervous
