Surface Pro 6 / Surface Pro 5 (Pro 2017) / Pro 4 / Pro 3 Type Cover, Lightweight Slim Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Two Button Trackpad Built-in Rechargeable Battery, Gray

This is my 3rd keyboard cover brand. the last 2 didnt, well, last! the keys wouldn't register and would break after light use. This Tomsenn keyboard felt different right out of the box. First off, it was the only time I got a surface keyboard actually packaged by the manufacturer to withstand shipping. The keys are sturdy, register with no ghosting and have a satisfying click to them. This is also my first LED lit keyboard and was worried it would effect its battery but knew I could turn it off if so, Ive kept the lights on my favorite color all night and didnt experience any less battery time than previous brands. The magnets all are strong and the lack of flex to the board are terrific. If i had any criticism, I would say the USB C connector could hold the connection a little more snug, but it does the job just fine and a non-issue. I picked Tomsenn because they are form Shenzhen. I have never been to Shenzhen but almost every electronic I own (my phone, my computer parts, my laptop, server replacement parts) thats lasted me years has been from that city. Tomsenn is no exception. Buying products form a company located in Shenzhen has never failed me yet and I wish I discovered Tomsenn sooner.

So, I presume the parasitic nature of those who makes these products is not lost on their customers. And I also presume that like me, they were led to this purchase because their Surface Pro keyboards stopped working, and thought a replacement keyboard by Microsoft seems way too expensive. Yep, that's the trap I fell into and I regret it. Please ignore the nonsensical description of the product in the Amazon description. The things you need to know are: (a) the dimensions are slightly bigger than all Surface Pro versions so while the fit is workable, its not neat (and its much heavier than the Microsoft keyboard); (b) it works on Bluetooth so there can be delays on connection; (c) the battery does not last very long, so you are constantly in need of charging; (d) now whereas, the product is still relatively functional despite the issues (a) to (c), the issue that makes this a waste of money is the touchpad - its awful! For some reason (possibly related to drivers), the pad has a number of 'gesture rules' that are explained in the instruction manual. Good that is explained, but....why? Why can it not function as a normal touchpad. It makes it completely unworkable. Every time I track whilst in an open window, it will minimise, move it or even close it - perhaps because I have swiped too slowly or too quickly and enabled one of the 'gesture rules'. And I cannot do anything to disable them. I just want it to perform as a normal touchpad. You will be better off buying the Microsoft replacement, because as much as this seems cheaper, it still costs enough in comparison.

Edit - been using for a month or so now. Touch pad can be little funny and sensitive. Some keys get skipped when typing sometimes which is annoying. But for the price compared to what Microsoft wants, the hiccups don’t bother me! Great quality, quite impressed actually. Microsoft wants $200+ for a replacement keyboard, a joke. Love that this one has different back light colours and a Bluetooth option which my original broken one from Microsoft does not offer. Very impressed with this product. Will update if anything changes.

Works as expected, no issues with my Surface PRO 4. My type cover port on the Surface broke and I could not use any type covers on it. This was the next best option I could find. Keep in mide the following if you are looking at this product: - It is a Bluetooth keyboard/glide point. It does not interface with the Surface through the type cover port - It fits on the bottom of the Surface with magnets and I have not had any issues with it falling off. - It is slightly thicker than a regular type cover - It needs to be recharged periodically, USB-C cable included - It must be turned on/off separately from the computer. So far it has worked great for what I needed. The only negative I have so far is there is no battery capacity available. Other BT devices will show the battery strength under the Devices on the computer, but not this one. No issues loosing BT connection or unavailability problems.

Great keyboard but the space bar does not work consistently. At least 50 percent of the time, it needs to be clicked twice. I have resorted to just typing everything and going back to editing and adding spaces after. My so used my Surface Pro and laptop and he was super frustrated. As am I but I've already paid good money so I'll just have suck it up to work around it.
