Microsoft - Surface Pro Type Cover with Fingerprint ID - Black

It’s great. My only regret was I thought I could pass on the key board. Not only is it functional as a key board but also as a protective shell and it’s like but a tuxedo on the my Surface Pro 7. Love it

Ordered for my New Surface 3; details noted it fits my tablet but it does not. Keyboard should pop up but it doesn’t. It lays flat. It does however snap into place. Hard to type in flat position. Package was thrown out this unable to return. Ugh.

I bought this as a replacement for my original that stopped working after 4 years. Within 6 months the board has already broken. The magnetic strip has ripped off and I have to push it back together and constantly have to rub it so it stays in keyboard mode. I have been struggling and working with it the last few months but now I am over it! I am not please as I am in school and haven't been able to afford a new one quite yet. Looks like I have to buy another $150 keyboard for this tablet....Lets hope this one doesn't break too.

I didn’t enjoy using this product, it stopped working for just a few weeks

this is definitely the best keyboard for your surface. fit and finish is perfect. magnet is very positive to your surface pro. the material is nice to the touch and surprisingly easy to keep clean. I had a third party Bluetooth keyboard and at first it seemed perfect because I did not have to have it attached to the surface pro like this keyboard. BUT it does not put the tablet to sleep. because the surface pro did not go to sleep it would drain my battery for both the pro and the bluetooth keyboard. I switched to this and never looked back. Plus with the FINGERPRINT ID it makes logging into to certain apps very easy. no more having to adjust your face or surface pro to recognize your face. the keys themselves have a new feel. the keyboard has backlighting which I thought was just a gimmick but it really helps at night. and most of all all the special functions on this keyboard works flawlessly. volume control. illumination of the keyboard keys. brightness controls for the screen.

It's pretty great. The keyboard feels solid and I don't have any fear of it coming detached. The keys are responsive and I like it better than those butterfly keyboards that MacBooks have. Also, I like the fact that with just my finger, I can unlock my surface!

I've had both this and the standard Surface Pro 2017 type cover. Both are surprisingly great keyboards for how light they are. Are they replacements for a great mechanical keyboard for gaming or banging out a dissertation? No, but few laptop keyboards are and this is even more portable. The backlighting is inobtrusive and a nice feature for working in darkened rooms. The key feel and rebound is good and touch typing works well; I haven't taken a speed test on it but feel that I'm hitting a good portion of my typical WPM. If you type with a heavier keystroke, you can also use it with the keyboard resting flat (the connector is actually along the Surface edge, not the magnet that holds it propped up). Now...is it worth more than the standard one to get the fingerprint spot? Windows Hello makes use of biometrics to log in much easier - I have another laptop with a fingerprint reader and decided I wanted one for the Surface too, as I frequently lock my PC during the day (I use this for business) and fast unlock is huge. The reader here isn't quite as fast / accurate as the other fixed laptop and it sometimes takes a second read to unlock but on balance it's still much better than typing my password 10-15x a day. If you don't frequently lock your computer or don't find yourself typing your password a lot, you can save some cash and get the type cover without the reader. But if you're like me, getting this one will save you a lot of time each day.

The black keyboard is the best. Its keys are easy touch compared to the blue keyboard sold for the surface. The colored keyboards required more pressure to type on the keys. The back-lighting is a plus. The fingerprint recognition makes me feel secure for the sensitive work stored on the surface. Flexible enough to turn over. Easy on easy off attachment.
