MicrosoftSurface Pro Signature Type Cover - Platinum

Update: Following the reply from Surface Customer Care to this review, I have contacted with them to sort this out. They have recommended me to do a bunch of things, which didn't really solve the issue. The representative assigned, however, was very caring, and that was all I needed apparently.I have realized that the problem does not lie completely on this specific Type Cover I received. The issue described below occurs ONLY when my device is connected to the 65W power supply (as opposed to the 35W power supply that comes along with the Surface Pro 4, bought from Microsoft Store as a secondary charger) which I always keep connected to a multiple-output power strip I have in my living room.So, there it is. I give it 5 stars. I could take off like a star for not working well under this adverse (?) conditions, but I like this thing so much. It is well designed, well built. As for the issue, I think it probably is sourced at somewhere inside the Surface Pro 4, about the keyboard connector and the regulation of higher-than-expected power supply.-- OLD REVIEW --I have no problems with the design, but maybe the build quality. It's just that the keyboard I received is not functionally perfect, and somewhat defective:Its trackpad does not work 100% of the time. The keys function just fine, but the trackpad does not respond from time to time. It's like trying to write with a ballpoint pen that is very low on ink, really. I draw circles on the trackpad with my finger to get it back to working. It stutters while drawing circles, then gets back fine after a short while. Stupid, but that's how it is.Given that I have bought this as a replacement to my first 1.5 years old Pro Type Cover (Teal), this is a huge disappointment to me. I had replaced that one, because some of its keys (v, 4, enter, and maybe some more) got irresponsive after 1.5 years of usage. This one got defective on me in just a week of usage, and I had been taking care of it like a newborn...I think it wasn't such a good idea to utilize ribbon cables on a junction that's bent ever so frequently. I don't know the insides of this keyboard really, but hey, what else could they use?I had stumbled upon this review page while I was looking for a link to get it replaced with a new one, somehow. I couldn't find any links, but a product that got defective within a month should be replaceable, right?

Standard for all my reviews: When reviewing products, I always remain objective and honest about the product or service. I always review with information that I feel others would like to know about the product as I always assume what I'm writing will influence for or against the purchase. I always try to go above and beyond surface characteristics and input into quality, value and application. Most importantly, I will always end the review with an answer as to whether I'd purchase the product again which I believe is the most critical question pertaining to the item. To manufacturers: Want me to review your items, just let me know!This was a keyboard for a new Surface I purchased for my 95 year old mother and she loves it. Her old one stopped charging and the Surface was dying. After 7-8 years, we got her a new surface with a new keyboard and she's happy as a clam. Functionality is great, look and feel is awesome and she loves the feeling of the keys much more than her old one. She used to be able to type 110 wpm and she says she can actually type on this one.Wish it was a bit cheaper but the cost isn't bad and it seems built to last.

Ridiculously overpriced, but hard to find a keyboard compatible with my Surface Pro 7, which this is.No issues so far, just attached and it auto-paired.

I am in love with this keyboard! I bought it in platinum and it is beautiful. It is slightly lighter in color than in the picture, but I actually like that better. When I bought my surface pro 4 a year and a half ago, I didn't want to spend $100 on the keyboard because it sounded like a rip off to me. Instead, I chose to buy a non microsoft keyboard from Moko for $40. The keyboard had been working for me but was never great quality and I was unaware I would have to charge the keyboard separately when I bought it, which was kind of annoying. The Moko keyboard just broke and I decided to invest in this Microsoft typecover instead of spending another $40 on another keyboard that would probably only last a year. It was DEFINITELY worth it. Yes i still think it was overpriced, but if you have the surface pro (which is a beautiful computer), you probably want a nice keyboard to go along with it. This keyboard is miles better in terms of quality in comparison to the knockoffs on amazon and ebay. I love that I no longer have to charge the keyboard, and the keys light up which is great. My typing is much smoother and more accurate than on my old keyboard. The keys are also much quieter than the other brand. Overall, if you're trying to decide if you should get a real microsoft typecover or an off brand, you should go with the real microsoft keyboard. In the long run, you'll probably end up spending just as much buying several other keyboard because they don't last long. I wish I had just gotten the real typecover to begin with so I didn't have to deal with a low quality keyboard all this time.
