I’m a masters student and use it everyday for hours on end. Overall, this keyboard is great value for the money. To begin, the battery life is excellent. It’s easy to charge with the USB port on the surface charging brick. The keys are responsive and have a good “click” to them. The magnet bar which attaches it to the surface tablet it also strong, I’ve never had it fall off accidentally. The only downside is the trackpad. It is very small... then again I’m 6’4” with large hands so it may be easier with smaller hands?? In addition, it is difficult to click subtle items on the screen using this trackpad. I would only recommend this keypad if you plan on regularly using a pen or a mouse. Conversely, if you don’t care about a very mediocre trackpad then go for it. I use a mouse with my surface and treat it more as a “desktop” than a tablet. Only when taking notes do I use it as a tablet. In general I would recommend this keyboard. I would also recommend using a mouse with it if you plan on spending long hours on it. For the money I don’t think there’s a better alternative :)

After Microsoft broke my surface pro 3's ability to connect to my typecover (which 100% works with another surface pro 7 BTW) with a Windows security update that I can't remove unless I want to flash my bios (Thanks MS! You're a terrible company!) and not even acknowledge it, I was SOL. I didn't have the money to upgrade and I found out that all MS would offer to do is give me a refurb'd unit for ~$500.I was pissed until I found out that there was this entire market of typecover look-alikes that worked via bluetooth! This one is amazing. It's a little stiffer than my original typecover which is a good thing because it's a little more supportive. The keys respond perfectly. Connecting was easy although somewhat mysterious. The instructions are sparse on this one, and not all the functions are described in the "manual" that comes with it. The keys are a little louder than my old typecover's too, but I think they're on par with the new typecovers (my typecover was bought in 2014.) Battery life seems good although I haven't charged it down all the way yet. Overall I'd highly recommend it as a replacement! Very good product and a good price to boot.

UPDATEYeah... Yeah, no, this thing just took twenty minutes straight to connect, flashing between connected and disconnected constantly, its little blue connection light never turning off. Get any other wireless keyboard, this one is trash.ORIGINALIt's satisfying to type on -- great feedback on the keys. The mousepad is incredibly sensitive, but nothing you can't get used to.Unfortunately it can't stay connected to save its life. Sometimes it'll sync up with Bluetooth just fine -- then, sometimes, it'll lie. Computer will show it as connected, but it just doesn't work. Reconnecting it is incredibly frustrating, as it'll show as connected, then disconnect. So you have to reconnect it again, and then it'll disconnect. Sometimes leaving it alone for 5-10 minutes lets it do its thing, but that's incredibly stupid.
