" ... The keys have a surprisingly nice feel that I didn't expect when we ordered it. ... "
" ... I do with that it came with a strap attached to the bottom, to make it latch around the Surface Pro 4 more securely when packing and storing it but I improvised with a coloured elastic band. ... "
" ... Nice feel for typing and the pad. ... "
" ... Fingers crossed that this one lasts. ... "
" ... the keys are very ergonomic. ... "
" ... good one fits with Microsoft Surface pro. ... "
" ... And they feel about like a normal laptop, so they're super comfortable to type on. ... "

" ... It folds up nicely against the tablet and fits easily inside the cover. ... "
" ... Seems to be very durable and holds up very nicely to day to day use. ... "
" ... Snaps magnetically right into place with the Surface Pro's contacts and holds well. ... Both lightweight and durable, this keypad cover is perfect! ... "

" ... It's also very thin, and acts as the cover for your Surface Pro, and I've had no trouble with it so far. ... "
" ... One thing about this cover: Though it's called a "cover," I wouldn't say that it adds much in the way of protection for your Surface ... "
" ... Its comfortable to type on and I prefer the material over the premium alcatara fabric $150 option. ... "
" ... Suede-like if you will. ... "

" ... It's not even a year old and it is already broken. ... "
" ... I've had this since August of 2017 and it broke only 3 months later. ... "
" ... It's been less than two months since I got the keyboard, and its starting to work intermittently. ... I never know when it is going to stop working. ... "
" ... Stopped working after 5 months. ... "
" ... A few months ago, after about 9 months of success, several keys stopped working on the type cover, which is absolutely crippling for full-time student taking notes, computer-based tests and writing papers, or for an employee executing professional communication and developing written protocols. ... Since it worked for 9 months, I award two stars instead of one. ... "
" ... it gave up the ghost after only two months. ... "
" ... We bought this a year ago and it just stopped working. ... "
" ... It's a shame that I had to return it as my Surface pro stopped working! ... "

" ... I don't know why I bother with it really, at this point it's just a dust cover for my screen. ... "
" ... It stains SO easily. ... The only way to clean it is with a damp cloth. ... On the plus side it seems to be very resistant to *dry* dirt, nothing clings to it. ... I suppose I would describe my issue as the material being "grease absorbent". ... "
