Love it, keyboard is backlit, keys are great to type on, trackpad is accurate and responsive, and the pen is excellent. The way it works with the SP9 is brilliant, with the pen folding away safely so it's always available - better than iPad/Samsung where the pen can get lost easily. I also love the pen form, it's flat like a draftsman's pencil but this is easy to get used to and is better when you need to use the button while drawing. There is a bit of keyboard flex but this is expected on something so light weight. Newer keyboard models connect via Bluetooth to the surface so can be used when not physically connected, worth noting/checking when making a purchase. I've not yet had the need to use this feature.

Geat, lightweight, easy to use, functional, nice change from heavy laptop! So easy to just flip the keyboard up when taking a break and it puts device to sleep, then flip down and Windows Hello recognizes my face and flies past log on screen landing me back to work again. Love having a safe place for the pen to be stored so it doesn't get lost and it recharges at the same time. Only wish the pen was also magnetic for the rare times I'd like to just attach it to the tablet for safe keeping for a while when I'm not using the keyboard. Pen is utterly awesome though and the eraser button in the cap makes writing/correcting so much faster. I actually now feel like writing on a whiteboard app during meetings isn't slow and clunky anymore. As a female, the backspace button ... MoreGeat, lightweight, easy to use, functional, nice change from heavy laptop!

As a female, the backspace button is a tiny bit of a stretch for me, but it's not a deal breaker and I'm getting used to it, it's just not in the spot you expect when you're accustomed to laptop keyboards. Otherwise, it's been an actual joy to use! Such a nice, lightweight alternative to using a heavy laptop. Keys are a little bit noisier than a laptop so it does cross my mind when typing during a meeting that they might be hearing it (probably ok when you're typing notes, but if you're emailing or doing other work when they expect you should be listening, it's not ideal). Would be great to be able to have an option of using the keyboard detached from the device at times so I could prop the screen up at eye level for meetings and have the keyboard lower down at a more ergonomic height or in my lap and have the added benefit that it would also then be away from the mic as well. On balance, still excellent and I'm enjoying using it though!

If you are planning or thinking about getting a Microsoft Surface Pro do yourself a favor and get this Surface Pro Signature Keyboard along with it. Yes it adds quite a bit to the cost and I wish Microsoft would sell this for lower or better yet just include it with the Surface Pro as it really is a must have accessory. The problem is later you are going to want it so if you can, try and get it at the sametime. This is typically not an accessory that I have seen discounted so I donât think waiting will save you any money. This keyboard is just a perfect match for the Surface Pro. The way it connects with magnets and doesnât require its own power source, the keyboard is easy to type on for extended periods and I especially like the feel of the trackpad.

The trackpad feel rivals those found on other higher end thin and light notebooks. The Surface Pro Signature keyboard also looks and feels good and doesnât add any additional bulk. My only complaint is that in an earlier model for an older Microsoft Surface I had, this model is missing the keyboard backlighting. Not sure why that was removed but that doesnât take away from the overall function and utility this adds. The Surface Pro Signature keyboard has very good build quality and you can expect many years of service with it. In fact my earlier model outlasted the actual surface I purchased with it which I finally had to retire when the battery failed. Not having this keyboard will be a companion that you will miss right away. There really isnât anything else like it to round out the Surface Pro and should be the number one accessory you should buy when purchasing a Surface Pro.

The Surface Pro Signature Keyboard is an excellent accessory to the Surface Pro and makes using it a much more enjoyable experience.This keyboard is relatively straight forward when it comes to use on the Surface Pro. I am using my keyboard with the Surface Pro 9. It uses proprietary connectors to attach to the Surface Pro and holds itself with a magnet so it doesn't just come apart. Once attached to the Surface Pro, it will automatically fold over the stylus pen to keep it secure. The stylus is attached by a magnet as well and actually holds in the pocket pretty well. The pen is battery powered and the stylus pocket charges the pen when not in use and the keyboard is turned on. It is very precise when touching the screen and tracking is quick.

Once attached to the Surface Pro, it will automatically fold over the stylus pen to keep it secure. The stylus is attached by a magnet as well and actually holds in the pocket pretty well. The pen is battery powered and the stylus pocket charges the pen when not in use and the keyboard is turned on. It is very precise when touching the screen and tracking is quick. The rest of the keyboard essentially is like any other keyboard. The keys are responsive and have a nice press to them. It is very sturdy and well constructed. The touchpad is a standard size and clicks well. Tracking is also accurate on the touchpad.One of the main things to remember is you will need to push the Fn key and the F1 key to wake the keyboard up and power up the stylus. However, pushing it again does not power off the keyboard and it will stay powered up until you shut off the Surface Pro. I do wish that it would have an off button. When closing the keyboard over the Surface Pro, it turns into a really nice folio case and screen protector. Again it is a solid design and provides great protection.Overall I highly recommend getting this keyboard for your Surface Pro. With it providing a keyboard, mouse, stylus, and Folio case, it is hard to pass up and makes life much easier using the Surface pro.
This keyboard and pen are almost a required addition to the Surface Pro! I am used to using a Chromebook as my ultraportable device, so if I had to use this as just a tablet, I would be very uncomfortable!Screen CoverThe keyboard acts as a very good cover, snapping on and off very easily as needed. The ability to hide the pen when not needed is awesome as I was used to being able to keep my pen tucked into the case on the Chromebook, so was worried I would lose it if it didn't attach in some way. The material is very comfortable, I only hope it lasts since it is also very porous so I expect it will attract the oils and dirt from its environment. The magnets click in very well and give it a strong attachment to the tablet. The multiple magnets allow it to conceal ... MoreThis keyboard and pen are almost a required addition to the Surface Pro!

The material is very comfortable, I only hope it lasts since it is also very porous so I expect it will attract the oils and dirt from its environment. The magnets click in very well and give it a strong attachment to the tablet. The multiple magnets allow it to conceal the pen, giving the keyboard just enough angle to type comfortably.KeyboardThe keys work very well - even sitting on my lap I can type easily. The keys themselves feel very responsive, much better than I anticipated given their very small height. I use the ten-keypad on my full size keyboard often for entering grades, so I miss it but there is just no place to put the keys on this compact keyboard.The backlight is very handy when using it in lowlight environments, and I didn't even notice that feature for a while! It has several brightness settings and the labels on the keys light up as well, making it very nice.The multipoint touch features are very useful and can be programmed if you need something other than the Windows default settings. I can see myself spending a bit more time here as I get more comfortable and find other uses for this feature.PenThe pen works very well with Microsoft Whiteboard, making this a perfect replacement for my actual board in my classroom and allows me to save notes and drawings for later. The buttons are very handy for launching programs or making selections without putting my hand back on the touchpad or screen.ConclusionThe only thing I have been annoyed at is the size of the right and left- click areas of the touchpad, they seem to take up over half of the touchpad area, so I am constantly right-clicking on things with my thumb instead of selecting them! I'm going to have to work on getting it a little closer to the keys, which is not currently a natural feel for me.Overall, I am very satisfied with the keyboard cover and pen as they make an almost necessary addition to the Surface Pro 9 I just got. Together, they make a very capable and portable machine for my classroom use.
If you are using the Microsoft Surface Pro 9, run out to the store and pick up the Signature Keyboard with Slim Pen 2 immediately. Donât bother to order it online unless you can get it shipped that same day. It is a game changer for the 2-in-1 laptop if you want to do any serious typing. That is because a keyboard and pen are accessories that do not come in the box with your purchase of the Surface Pro 9.The Signature Pro keyboard is specifically designed for the Surface Pro, so you know it will fit and connect effortlessly. Even better, the pen recharges in the tray when you are not using it. The pen stays secure and that is a huge priority for me.

Even better, the pen recharges in the tray when you are not using it. The pen stays secure and that is a huge priority for me. My last tablet had a pen that was housed on the outside of the keyboard making it easy to fall out. As such, I lost it once while traveling. Replacing the pen was so expensive. When open and in use, a small section of the Signature Keyboard folds over the pen tray trapping the pen so it cannot fall out unless you drop the laptop/keyboard. Microsoft listened to feedback from users when they developed this option.I connected the keyboard before I even powered up and it was not recognized during my initial computer set-up. To troubleshoot, I ended up removing the keyboard and re-attaching it while also rebooting the computer. That worked like a dream!The Signature Keyboard is not as large as my laptop full keyboard, but it is still a full mechanical keyset with backlit keys and a large trackpad. I found the key positioning comfortable, and it comes with the quick keys I use most frequently though some are in a different spot than what I am accustomed to.Once I had set up the Surface Pro 9, I was prompted to calibrate the pen and was asked to indicate whether I was left- or right-handed. As a left-handed person living in a right-hand dominated world, it was so nice to be treated like a first-class citizen and have my experience optimized!The keyboard is attractive, sturdy. It has the appearance of a fabric exterior, but it isnât which means it is easy to clean the fingerprints, dust, and crumbs.What I donât know is if the separate Signature Keyboard and separate pen are identical to this all-in-one keyboard/pen purchase. If they are, it would be smart to check out the prices for each and buy the cheapest combination since items do periodically go on sale.
First impression:My first impression of the Surface Signature Keyboard with the surface Slim Pen 2 is that it really is a signature keyboard and pen. This is the kind of keyboard/pen set I would expect for a tablet like the Microsoft 9 Pro. The magnets that hold the keyboard to the tablet and the pen in its slot are very strong, and the magnets that hold the keyboard closed are very strong. None of these inhibit using the keyboard but do a good job of keeping it where you want it. The pen is charged while sitting in the holster, and if you put it in backwards, the magnets will flip it over to make sure it is in correctly.Specifications:⢠Alcantara cover: Very comfortable for the wrists, and the outside gives the Surface some grip.⢠Weight: This keyboard/pen ... MoreFirst impression:My first impression of the Surface Signature Keyboard with the surface Slim Pen 2 is that it really is a signature keyboard and pen.

None of these inhibit using the keyboard but do a good job of keeping it where you want it. The pen is charged while sitting in the holster, and if you put it in backwards, the magnets will flip it over to make sure it is in correctly.Specifications:⢠Alcantara cover: Very comfortable for the wrists, and the outside gives the Surface some grip.⢠Weight: This keyboard/pen combo only weighs .65 lbs., helping the surface to keep a lower overall weight.⢠Bluetooth 5.0: Automatically connects and provides a very responsive keyboard/pen.⢠Right click button: You have the option of using the 2-finger right click on the touchpad but having a dedicated right-click makes using it a lot easier.⢠Tactile signals for the Pen 2: You can configure tactile response on the pen to give you the timing and intensity you desire.⢠Keyboard is a screen protector when closed.Setup:There really isnât any setup unless you have the fingerprint reader. You lay it out and place the Surface Pro on it. The magnets grab the keyboard and hold it in place, and thatâs it. You can configure tactile feedback of the pen in Windows if you like, but it is optional.Performance:The keyboard feels really good. I am a fast 2-finger typist, as long as the keyboard keys arenât jammed too close together. These keys are spaced perfect for me, they are large enough to hit the correct key, and the feel of the keys are perfect for a keyboard like this. The keys have a light resistance, but do not bounce when typing fast. They are mechanical keys but feel more like chiclet keys. I really like this keyboard.The touchpad is called a âglass trackpad,â and for good reason. When using the touchpad, it feels like your fingers are riding on oil. It is so smooth that there isnât any drag like on a typical laptop touchpad. I'm sure theyâve had these for a while, but itâs the first one I have used, and I really like it a lot.When using gestures with the touchpad, it is very accurate at knowing what you are attempting to do. The only thing I usually use is the one or two-fingers for a right click. This touchpad hasnât messed that one up yet, even when I did. But if you donât like having to use the a finger right-click, this keyboard has a dedicated right-click button to the right of the touchpad. Again, another feature I really like.The pen is also a Bluetooth device that charges in the pen holster and offers up to 15 hours of battery life. It has a top button, a side button, and eraser functionality. It also provides Haptic feedback. One of my favorite features is the little red dot on the screen to show where the pen is going to touch. Itâs like a laser target. This is perfect when doing precision work. The shape of the pen also makes it easy to hold and use the buttons without the pen moving or slipping.Conclusion:The Microsoft Surface 9 Pro is a very powerful tablet. The Microsoft Surface Pro Signature Keyboard/Pen for Pro 9 turns it into a powerful laptop/tablet hybrid. Both the keyboard and pen operate wonderfully and makes using the Surface an enjoyable experience. The only con I found is the price, but to me itâs worth it. There are other keyboard options available for a better price, but none of them are specifically designed and integrated into the Surface the way this keyboard is. If I am going to pay for the Surface Pro 9, Iâm not going to skimp on the keyboard.If you have a Surface Pro 8 or 9, and you want to add a keyboard/pen to it, I highly recommend the Microsoft Surface Pro Signature Keyboard with Surface Slim Pen 2. It is the perfect companion to the Microsoft Surface Pro 9.
This keyboard like the tablet is also a very lightweight device, yet has this almost magical magnetic power of attachment to two little tab inserts on the bottom edge of the Surface Pro 9, and practically flies from your fingers to find home. *Click.* Easy. The keys are whisper quiet and responsive. The keyboard features a Bluetooth pen that stays charged (which means the keyboard draws power from the tablet.) I am not much of a pen person but it was fun to toy with, I suppose it has a lot of uses. The keyboard has a quality I find odd--the surface of it is a felt-like material that I fear will hold stains and be hard to keep looking new. Time will tell. Maybe watch the snacking.

Maybe.The slot where the pen rests is part of a "spine" of sorts that folds and becomes part of the bottom of the tablet to the eye. The only problem is--when attached to the tablet, you can't keep the tablet propped open with the tension of the keyboard/tablet junction like a normal laptop on your lap--you must open the back flap-stand on the Surface and pretend your lap is a desk or a table.Still an amazing lightweight must-have addition to the Surface.
Super convenient and good looking, The keyboard doubles as a protective cover for the screen. The unit is durable and the keys have just enough resistance so that you know that you're typing.

The unit is durable and the keys have just enough resistance so that you know that you're typing. The keys are also large enough that I haven't been accidently hitting two or three keys at a time. I appreciate that as it's been a problem with other keyboards I've used.This is my first experience regularly using a pen on a tablet, but the pen usage is pretty self explanatory and accurate enough so that I'm not angry with misclicks, bad selections, and ugly lines. I really like that the pen's holder also recharges the pen as one of the reasons I never went for these digital pens was because the batteries would go dead before the tablet went dead and I always found that weird and frustrating.All in all, I really the keyboard. It's light enough that it, in combination with the tablet, still weighs less than a laptop, but it has all the functionality I generally need to get through a day. I highly suspect that I'll use my laptop less and less as I use this.
I chose this keyboard to go with my Surface Pro 9. This is my first Surface tablet, so I needed a keyboard for it. This one is very nice! I like the pen that comes with it and how everything charges from the tablet. The keys have a decent feel â as good as any notebook computer Iâve used â and are well-spaced and intuitive. The pen works well, too, with just enough movement of the tip to provide some feedback when writing. I like the Alcantara surfaces as they feel nice to the touch and also give the tablet a soft backing when setting it down on a table.The magnets that hold the keyboard to the tablet are very strong. It makes it very easy to attach the keyboard with just one hand. All I have to do is hover the Surface over the keyboard and it magnetically finds ... MoreI chose this keyboard to go with my Surface Pro 9.

It makes it very easy to attach the keyboard with just one hand. All I have to do is hover the Surface over the keyboard and it magnetically finds it and snaps together perfectly. The magnets on either side of the pen tray do a great job of holding that edge against the surface giving the keyboard a slight angle which makes typing easier.I like that the Fn key works both as a toggle and a momentary âshiftedâ key. In other words, I can press it while pressing one of the top row keys and it will type the âFâ key, but not toggle it into function-lock. If I do want to toggle it, I just press the Fn key by itself and its indicator LED lights-up. I believe thatâs a great design. Overall, I really like this keyboard and find no faults with it. I highly recommend this for your compatible Surface tablet.
