12.3 Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard for Microsoft Surface Pro 6 | Surface Pro 5 | Surface Pro 4 | Integrated 2 Button Touchpad in Solid Aluminum Body | 160 Degree Viewing Angle (Silver)

I thought the kickstand and thin keyboard for the surface pro a good idea when I first purchased. But they are both a real pain after a while as the unit cannot function properly as a laptop is intended. So the Brydge was a brilliant purchase. It really is a quality well built keyboard. It has transformed my use of the surface pro and after a couple of weeks use I have nothing but praise for the product. Only real con is the price - in the US they are doing these for $99 and its a shame they have to be £149.99 ($210) over here. Seems a bit cheeky but still worth the money.

The keyboard is ok, the trackpad is terrible, the whole thing is just so heavy it really will weigh your bag down, also Brydge customer service is really really poor!

I bought this for a Surface Pro 3 and it worked straight from the box. It has solved the problem of a broken kickstand, and is nicer to work on than the Surface keyboard. Had no problems with the touchpad or sharp edges that I have seen in other reviews. Good build quality and the charge lasts a very long time. Nicely backlit key board and easy to take off and put on. But … The biggest problem is that it is a US layout keyboard and that confuses my computer. You simply have to learn where certain basic symbols are - they haven't moved but they aren't shown on the keys, eg :;'-@(). Some symbols I simply can't find such as a back slash, so you have to work around this by copying and pasting. I'm sure it's there somewhere though. Only other think that might put you off is its weight - its very heavy. It works for me, but it will annoy others.

Amazing product, I love it. Just what I wanted fits great to my surface pro 4

First the Amazon part. I paid £99 for a NEW item - what I received was not. The interior box containing the charging cable had been ripped open and the keyboard itself was covered with greasy fingerprints and biscuit crumbs. NOT the first time that I've bought a 'new' item from Amazon and it's turned out to be used. The Brydge keyboard itself - fantastic idea and the keys and trackpad work well. The clamps/hinges however are atrocious. VERY poorly executed design as these clamp so hard against the Surface bezels that you get light bleed and LCD swirls at the corners where clamped. I emailed Brydge and their response was that I should try prising the clamps apart to enable a smooth fit - I have done this however they lose around 90% of their area grip and leave the clamps in an awkward horizontal 'V' shape when closed and not flush with the Surface Pro. When closing the now 2-in-1 unit, the force is put on the Surface - this cannot be good and I have heard about damaged screens. Also worth noting is that the interior user leaflet lists Surface Pro 3 and 4 - however Brydge assured me that it was outdated and that it should say that it is compatible up to Surface Pro 7. If Brydge could use a clamshell instead of these woeful hinges, I would have awarded 100 stars however it really is an extremely poor design and you risk damaging your Surface.

This device does make the Surface Pro feel more like a laptop. But, it’s heavy and the TrackPad isn’t that good which let’s the device down. I also have some concerns over the build quality based on its cost. However, it has made using the Surface with a keyboard much easier where’s there limited or no desk space.

This really is superb and stopped me selling my Surface PRO 4! The keys, touchpad and build quality are simply superb and I can now use my Surface Pro like a proper laptop!!!

better than i expected does exactly wjat it says and the battery life is too good to be true, had it close to two weeks now and the battery still shows full thats with daily use

Non l'ho comprata tanto per il surface, perché ne raddoppia il peso, ma come tastiera bluetooth con touchpad. Ne esistono altre sul mercato ma fanno schifo, soprattutto per il touchpad, qui finalmente una tastiera fatta davvero bene, un piacere usarla persino con un desktop. Perché non vuole rinunciare al touchpad, usando ad esempio in combinazione con un mouse, questa è perfetta...

As an avid technology user, and in the technology field as well, this is a great keyboard if you're looking to use a tablet as a laptop and maintain versatility as well. I've only been using this for about two weeks, and have the following praise, and comments. It's sturdy, feels like a laptop, holds the SP4 without any moving whatsoever, the hinges are great, the rubber on the clips is great as well. Overall, I'd put it around a 90% or so out of 100%. The things I'm not a fan of are that although the response from the keyboard is great, sometimes it has some issues with sending a keystroke (when I say sometimes, I mean somewhere around .0001% as it happens rarely after you're used to the keyboard; it happened on the apostrophe in "you're" as I was typing this.). The touchpad could be a little more accurate, but overall works well enough although I'll be getting a bluetooth mouse shortly. My two more important issues I've experienced are that the clicking and dragging when either highlighting or drag-and-dropping, works very inconsistently as well as the physical clicking on the pad which results in the cursor shifting from where you'd like to click almost 100% of the time. My second issue is that the top of the touchpad is a little sharper than I'd prefer. Do not get me wrong, it's not going to cut you, or cause you any harm at all, it's just that it could be slightly smoother out of the box. I'm planning to fix this with about two minutes of light filing. Overall, I enjoy using it and although it would be nice to have slightly longer battery life it's easily solved with any pocket charger if you're away from an outlet. PS: If Brydge is actively reading this, hopefully they're put out some info on the case for this since there's few options for cases. If you all need alpha or even beta testers for the case, I'll be more than willing to keep a daily log, and maintain an objective opinion throughout the entire process.

Ich hab das gute Stück für mein.Surface Pro 3 gekauft. Das Aufklappen und aufstellen des Surface hat mich mit der Zeit stark genervt und man brauchte immer eine ebene Oberfläche. Mithilfe der Brydge-Tastatur verwandelt sich das Tablet in ein Laptop bzw. Notebook. Sehr feine und hochwertige Verarbeitung aus Alu. Der Tastendruck ist optimal und die Einrichtung einfach und schnell. Der Kundensupport dagegen totaler Mist. Ich habe das englische Layout erhalten obwohl in der Beschreibung QWERTZ-Layout steht. Nachfrage und Rücksendung werden vom Verkäufer ignoriert. Nicht dir feine englischr Art!

Je me suis fait avoir, j'ai pris ce modele et j'avais pas vu qu'il y avait un modele azerty enfin sinon tres bien... la surface ne tombe pas... ca pince pas mal l'ecran sur le coté ce qui peu généré un petit halo blanc.... mais ma surface n'étant pas toute jeune ca me dérange pas... perso ca rend la surface utilisable dans le lit en deplacement etc... J'adore... pour l'azerty j'ai mis des sticker acheter sur amazon mais pas de bonne qualité un peu deg mais on fait avec

This is fantastic. It is already making my life so much easier -I'm a student at University and the kickstand/flimsy keyboard just wasn't working- I kind of need to be able to be mobile and there aren't always desks (or clean desks) available so I'd have to balance the surface on my lap a lot. The keyboard also makes a lot more sense for the surface- there's a brighteness button that changes the brightness of the surface screen- as it should (the microsoft surface keyboards brightness button controls the lights around the keyboard button-kind of dumb right?) Also the keyboard feels more like a traditional keyboard than the microsoft one- the microsoft one feels flimsy in comparisoin and like the buttons may just fall off. The brydge is sturdy and I just really like the feel of these buttons better. And for those of you who are wondering will the keyboard still fit in my surface case - I'd say maybe. It fits in my case (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KV34VH8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) very nicely but it wasn't too snug to begin with. Anyways the only reason this didn't get 5 is because... well i'm the kind of person who always thinks theres room for improvement - a way to know how much the keyboard is charged more precisely (not just the 25% increments) would be nice and even with the surface pro 4 it does put a bit of pressure on the screen which is concerning - it kind of discolors the sides slightly- I think if i'm careful with removing it it will be ok though.
