MoKo Type Cover Fits Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Plus/Pro 7 / Pro 6 / Pro 5 / Pro 4 /Pro 3, Lightweight Slim Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard with Two Button Trackpad and Built-in Rechargeable Battery, Gray

So I have a Surface Pro 3 and my orginal keyboard just died and I didn't want to fork out over £100 for a new keyboard for an older tablet that is starting to slow a bit. so seeing this for £40 here was a bit of a shot in the dark, my thought is if it works great and if it doesn't then I will return it no harm done. I wasn't expecting much as its just a Chinese knockoff of the real thing just Bluetooth and wont work unless its turned on.Pros:- fits perfectly- almost as good as original- ability to use it wirelessly makes for a great option- the LEDs can change colour and can be used in bright mode or dim mode- the keys feel great and not cheap- It works while chargingCons:Turning on the LEDs and changing colour can be a bit confusing but really not a big deal at all.Overall i'm happy with this purchase and would use them again in the future, the battery life I'm sure can be draining but I turn my LEDs off during the day and only turn them on when I want to use them(red LEDs look cool but remember they consume more power than if it was white or blue). I'm still on my first charge, and ive had it for 2 weeks.Update: I've now had this for nearly a year, it still works great! The mouse pad can get annoying if your typing or doing CAD drawings like me and make the mouse shoot off but it can be turned off so not a big deal. The battery life is awesome on this! It can literally go months without charging, the key to this is don't turn on the LEDs. Zero regrets on this purchase!Update 2: ive had this nearly 2 years and my number 5 and 6 keys stopped working randomly however i contacted the seller and they said they would offer me a discount on the new one i purchase. that's really fair! i use this every day. zero battery issues, again anyone who complains about battery life its because you have the LEDS turned on. Ive had my keyboard switched on for weeks and weeks and weeks and when not used it goes to sleep saving battery life. still the best purchase!

My original Surface 4 keyboard started playing up suddenly, hardly surprising as I work on it a lot writing technical manuals and help/FAQ articles comprising sub 500 to a few thousand words. It suddenly got the number '6' key and also the letter 'j' key confused, well, if I pressed one of these keys, both the characters would display, all the time, sometimes repeating until I unclipped the keyboard so was not ideal.Time for a new keyboard.I checked Amazon and saw the official Microsoft models were expensive, in my mind for what they are.The MoKo units seemed to look good and of a decent value for what they are, and had some decent reviews so I settled for this one.Overall the keyboard is similar to the Microsoft models with some differences, a couple of the keys are swapped about for some reason and the trackpad on the MoKo is smaller, oddly. The keys work well however with a good force feedback and a nice 'click', the trackpad is responsive but the left and right mouse click buttons are not good at all in that the amount of force used to activate these moves the cursor off the target, it is quite odd, I thought was just me but trying different ways of clicking, it is still the same - also, the selection area is more central even though clicks are felt at the edges but do not action when using this way.The MoKo is a little different to the MS version with the Bluetooth function allowing the keyboard to work away from the Surface but due to the lightness of the keyboard I do not feel this is super efficient, perhaps just me but it seems too light for this.Pairing works well and quickly on initial setup. There is a micro USB slot to charge the keyboard for the USB on the Surface and this does not seem to take long for a full charge, but there is no feedback or display to make known the level of charge. There is a power/pairing switch on the right of the keyboard, I do not turn it off and as such is powered at all times, this does not seem to make much difference to the overall power consumption but it must use a little.Aside from the odd trackpad buttons, this is a good little keyboard that is reliable and is definitely good value when compared the MS versions available.

I got this when it was £33.95 so it seemed like less of a hit than buying a Microsoft one. I tried to be positive but now the issues can’t be ignored.I like the feel of the keyboard,the texture of the plastic and feedback from the keys. However I do miss the backlight, the trackpad seems to jump around a lot, right hand clicks are nearly impossible unless you lift the keyboard up and click with your thumb underneath supporting it instead of just pressing down on the surface the keyboard is resting on. I have the same issues with windows maximising and minimising all over the place and when the computer restarts, even if the Bluetooth is still connected, the Surface will not recognise any input whatsoever on the lock screen. When typing, if you rest the base of your palms on the bottom of the keyboard, if it is bearing any weight at all, especially if not laid completely flat on a table or something, the cursor will jump around all over the place so you’ll be typing and then realise half you sentence has appeared in the middle of 5 lines up....I have to plug in my old broken Microsoft cover to wake up the computer and put in my PIN (thankfully those keys still work and I hadn't thrown it away) then the MOKO keyboard works as normal once I'm back to my desktop.Now it has just started randomly disconnecting itself again and then won’t reconnect or pair without multiple redstarts of both keyboard and device. Since I updated Windows, now it will pair and connect but the trackpad will not work AT ALL.Jesus Christ, sure it is cheaper than the official type cover but I don’t expect it to be completely unusable which it is now.
