Microsoft Wireless Surface Keyboard, WS2-00025, Silver

Take it out of the box, say "Wooooow" as you realize how light it is, remove the plastic strip separating the batteries from the connectors and you are good to go. Setup was as straightforward as could be. Thing is, though, that I tried a LOT of keyboards before I finally found some cheapy that felt right. Right before I bought this one I tried two others (gaming keyboards no less) and they all felt uncomfortable to use so for that reason this stayed in my inbox for over a year since I just wasn't sure if I wanted to take the chance on this... But I eventually did (obviously) and the buttons are soft to the touch, responsive, have a great hit response depth, they sound so soft when you press them... Everything about this keyboard is awesome... except the lack of backlight. I am going to find this especially troublesome since I work mostly at night but I guess that is what light bulbs are for, right? Ironically enough, since I am on a desktop I don't get to change my screen brightness so, even though the WIndows "What's new" tips tell me "You can now set the brightness right next to the time! You are welcome" I actually do NOT have that feature. I miss it from my Mac days but on my desktop it simply isn't there... but with this keyboard's built in keys for screen brightness adjustment I finally DO have direct access to that feature literally right at my fingertips. I can now spend all day watching that brightness bar go up and down while not actually doing anything at all to my display's brightness.... :( Literally, this KB does more than I expected :P lol As for normal features, it does them very well and I am very happy with it. I just wish it had backlighting. It's the only thing this is lacking.

I have a Surface Go and was using keyboard that comes with it. It s actually very nice and works well when traveling but since it is the same size as the screen, it is cramped. Well, my pc at home crashed and burned and I was looking at PC's and then remembered I have the Go at home. I thought that will get me by for a bit. So, I got a USB C add on with USB hook ups and am now using my Go as my primary PC. AND it's working. I do NOT do anything intensive so for basic word apps and web browsing, I'm not even going to get another PC....but the keyboard was not going to work for the long haul and I remembered Microsoft had these. So, I read the reviews and hesitantly bought one. It is fanstastic. After years at work I find the action of this keyboard to be very satisfying. NONE of the "issues" others have noted have bothered me or even been noticed. The typing is instant and I love having a complete keyboard in front of me with the number pad. It appears to be well built and I love the bluetooth connection as this is my first bluetooth keyboard. Awesome. I don't use in the dark so don't care about a lighted keyboard. Just more stuff to go wrong...

I work all day on documents, presentations, spreadsheets, etc. and until now, I have never found a keyboard that can handle my workload. And it is not for lack of trying, I have tried tons of keyboards but none passed the test. I was excited when I found the Surface Keyboard—the keys feel so natural under my fingers and it has a smoothness to it that makes typing an enjoyable experience for me. To make things better, it connects to the PC via Bluetooth, so there are no wires to make my desk untidy. The Bluetooth connection gave me one or two problems earlier on, but since I’ve learned how to connect it, it has been smooth sailing. Also, when you leave the keyboard idle for a long period, it puts itself to sleep but it usually comes on immediately when you touch a key (with minimal lag time). If you type fast like I do, then there’s a chance that you usually disturb the people around you. With this keyboard, however, there is no chance of that happening; it is very quiet. The question I’ve been asking myself since I bought it is: why didn’t I find this keyboard earlier?

Edit: after updating to Windows 11, the keyboard works fine again. I am changing my review from 1 to 4 stars. It isn’t getting 5 because I’m acutely aware that any future updates could render it useless again. I bought this keyboard 05 Sep 2017. It had an annoying habit of disconnecting after a long period of disuse, but would reliably come back on when I clicked a button (despite the fact that I set it to not ever turn off in device manager). Now it turns off after about 15 seconds and is extremely unreliable about when it turns back on. Sometimes it will freeze my computer for about 15 seconds before it decides to. Buttons stick when it freezes sometimes, despite the fact that the buttons aren't physically stuck. I absolutely loved this keyboard. I bought a replacement Bluetooth adapter for my computer, tried all the fixes I read online, and spoke to MS support on 3 separate occasions about the issue. Nothing has been done. I'm fairly certain that it is a software issue; however, MS just released an update for Windows today. Hoping that would fix the problem, I reconnected the keyboard in lieu of the very cheap Bluetooth keyboard I bought as a replacement. Same issues, none of which exist for the cheap one I bought. Sometimes I can even manage to type out several words before it decides to turn back on. It is insanely frustrating. The feel of this keyboard is amazing, and I love the button press. But these issues are insurmountable and unacceptable, especially considering the price. I cannot tolerate this product anymore. If anything is fixed in a future update, I will update this review. Until this, ignore this product.

I bought this keyboard in February, along with the matching Microsoft Surface Precision Mouse. Typically I'm not a fan of these chiclet style keyboards. I use a Ducky One 2 Mini at home and prefer that for personal use. I use this all day at work, lots of linux shell, command line work so I wanted a 10 key. I like the low profile, the build quality, battery life. Even the integrated windows buttons come in handy now and then. It's light and thin, I actually carry this back and forth to work every day. I wish they had a hardshell case for it, but right now I just toss it in a neoprene zipper case. It connects flawlessly every single morning without fail, I haven't had any ghosting or delay issues. I've changed the batteries about 3 times since February, but it does get heavy usage. It does not have a physical "off" switch so sometimes it's in my backpack and keys occasionally get bumped. Overall I'm really surprised with the quality of this keyboard, it's a great work keyboard, pair it with an MX Master or the Microsoft Surface Precision Mouse for a super comfy work setup.

This keyboard is nothing short of amazing. I'm using this to replace my Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard. Obviously the Surface Keyboard is a completely different product compared to the keyboard it replaced - Don't get me wrong, the Strafe is an amazing keyboard but it's large, the cables are huge, and I tend to prefer membrane keyboards for typing (I know I'm crazy). I've been looking for a good wireless keyboard for a while. I wanted a full size wireless keyboard because I do like to game occasionally and having the function keys + num pad is a must. This is the first wireless full sized keyboard I've used that really hits all the marks: + The key spacing is great + Lots of travel on the keys + Metal construction + Smart, well thought out short cut keys (1 button to lock PC, bring up email, calculator, etc) + Great range and battery life Here are the things that I think can be improved for the next generation: - While key travel is great, it's a little stiff - Would love to have adjustable feet to raise keyboard angle Over all, if you're looking for a great, full-sized wireless keyboard for your Windows PC, this is the one to get. I'd even argue this is an excellent solution for Mac users who have been waiting for Apple to release a wireless version of Apple's full sized keyboard. (I was one of those people).

So far after a few days of use a lot of the things I was seeing as potential drawbacks haven't been an issue. Easy pairing, quick wakeup and super comfortable to type on. Not quite as accurate typing as I am on my Asus zenbook laptop I'm using this keyboard with while it's connected to an external monitor, as I wish I could replicate that keyboard exactly, but the key travel and spacing is more than adequate, and it looks great beside. Definitely appreciate the slight incline as compared to the apple magic keyboard, as this seems to be slightly more comfortable after typing longer. Overall happy with it despite it being somewhat expensive for just being a keyboard.

Sorry, a very long, overdue review of this keyboard I really love! The review was forgotten in the midst of all the other items. I've been using this since May 2021 (date of purchase) and this has been with me since then, I don't use anything else for work (when I'm mad typing 9 to 5). I highly recommend, because as flat as it's seen, it might be the Microsoft's version of the Apple, this is very ergonomically better for your hands and wrists. The bluetooth connects fast and easy, you may be asked to type in a number to connect. Judging by how long the battery lasts, I'm very sure that the sleep mode is ON POINT. I am very satisfied with this product and I would recommend to anyone.
