    Really Enjoy Using This Keyboard
    First things first, I’ll point out that I’m an avid fan of Apple products but my employer requires employees to use Windows based PCs; I own an Apple Studio Display and decided to connect my PC to it via thunderbolt. That’s a different review but it’s an excellent setup.Decided to invest in this Surface Keyboard, a Surface Mouse and Surface Headphones. This review is specific to the keyboard but it’s an exceptional setup if I must use Windows.Keyboard is very similar to Apple’s Magic Keyboard in many ways. It suits my needs, doesn’t take up much space and is small enough for business trips. 10/10 would buy this keyboard again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard is the best external keyboard ever!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023
    I've been looking for an external keyboard with the same feeling as my gaming laptop keyboard for a long time. I wanted it to be compact and with good ergonomics so I could use it as my everyday keyboard (gaming included). This little keyboard does everything I wanted and the typing feels even better than in my laptop's. You won't have any trouble with your typing speed if you are using it. It connects via Bluetooth, which means you don't use a usb receiver (more space yay).

    Regarding gaming, I've used it for my FFXIV gaming sessions, a little bit of Path of Titans and The Isle, and it has worked wonderfully

    If you like and want a laptop-style typing, are looking for a compact keyboard to have more desk space, want a wireless Bluetooth keyboard that can connect to multiple devices at once, then this the keyboard for you. Highly recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is too much comfortable, compact, non-mechanical keyboard
    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2022
    First of all this one looks really nice than most other keyboards and I prefer not to have hideous looking thing for my workstation. It's non-mechanical which I prefer, compact and it takes very little space on your workspace. The keys are sparse as you can see from the 2nd photo. It has home and end button separately which I prefer. It doesn’t come with light and I think it's okay for many reasons especially from battery-life perspective.
    You can switch on-off from backside switch(pic 3)and also change the battery by opening the battery slot in the marked direction. For that you need pin similar to sim opener.
    It's not ergonomic which might be an important trait for many but not for me. There's no point in this whole world for an ergonomic mouse/keyboard. Stop pushing these things( everything ergonomic) into your life by following silicon valley culture.
    Great Product!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente teclado ABNT2
    Reviewed in Brazil on August 1, 2022
    O teclado é excelente. Compacto, confortável e de alta qualidade. Eu só tinha dúvidas se era no padrão português, com Ç. E eu posso confirmar, o teclado que eu recebi vem no padrão ABNT2, veja a foto, totalmente compatível com os computadores brasileiros. Ele emparelha facilmente com o PC, que precisa ter bluetooth pois o teclado não vem com o adaptador USB.
    O único inconveniente que eu tenho notado é que as vezes ele perde a conexão, mas recupera rapidamente e automaticamente, assim não chega a ser um grande problema.

    Just arrived. Beautiful. Awesome looking. Great elegant finish. It’s almost the exact size of the keyboard on my14” Zenbook. Soft keys. Bluetooth. I’m very happy with it. If it doesn’t work properly ir find a problem I’ll edit this review after use.

    6 month update: Overall I'm happy with the keyboard. A few keys have started to malfunction though - I click them once but the letter is typed more than once.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Boa digitação
    Reviewed in Brazil on February 27, 2023
    Precisava de um teclado com digitação macia, pois o do meu laptop está dura. Não me arrependi.
    O teclado tem o cedilha e é do tamanho exato do teclado do laptop. Me atrapalhei um pouco nas primeiras vezes, pois o espaçamento entre as letras é ligeiramente diferente, mas agora digito tranquilamente.
    Cono já foi dito, ao passar um tempo inativato, ele leva 1 ou 2 segundos para se conectar novamente. Não me causa irritação.

    Edit
    Após algumas semanas de uso, tem acontecido algo muito chato: a conexão bluetooth desconecta e o teclado deixa de funcionar, só reconectando quando eu reinicio o laptop. Isso sim é irritante! Estou em contato com a Microsof para ver se eles me ajudam a resolver isso.
