It’s alright
I do not like the keys you cannot tell if you have hit them or not then when you go back and look at what you wrote you always have to go back and make corrections the is the worst because you end up in one of the other letters at the bottom and then have to go back and backspace the mouse part at the bottom have to hit several times to actually click on what you’re wanting to

Works great
Bought the pink one for 13 buck for my Surface pro 3. Connects right to the pro connectors and work right away. It is not as big as the pro but I have another cover I am using with it for Moko.. I was looking for a keyboard with a touch pad and this fit the bill. The pink keyboard adds a lot of color to a typically black and white environment. I can leave it connected to the pro when I close the Moko case/cover. Very happy with it. It came in a Microsoft packaging. Yes it does take a little to get used to when typing.. There is not key action like most keyboards but it works. I am almost typing like normal. More practice and I will be up to speed. I am currently using the keyboard to type up this review.. I am not a perfect typist but can bang out may emails when I need to.. Have not seen any significant battery drain while leaving it connected while in my bag. Can easily add a full size keyboard if I really need to get serious about typing .

Figured it out and it is all good.
So I had to restart my Surface in order for it to work which was no big deal for me. So far so good, I like the way it looks and the price. It does feel like paper but for seven dollars I'll take it. My review from earlier down below for some reference. Honestly it is a very nice color and it is being sold at a great price. However, my keyboard will not type, all the other buttons work just not the letters. I have been tying to trouble shoot the problem, but I can't seem to figure out why. That being said, my review might change if I can get it to work since I just got it. So be aware that this might happen to you if you buy this item, but there are plenty of people who received a good keyboard.

It is way better than using the screen keyboard for school
I can say...... I literally got my money worth. It is way better than using the screen keyboard for school. Example for discussion for online classes it is very reliable and very efficient enough to type a quick article or paragraph. Say if you need to use this keyboard for work purposes or a daily basis for essay type of work. Get another keyboard, bc this is only good for temporary use or quick typing. This key board needs a little pressure to type , which I believe hours typing with it may start to hurt my fingers or hands. This keyboard, also doesn't cover the whole screen, by it covers 95 percent of it. In my opinion, if you kinda on a budget and need something to do the job, get it. and if you are financially stable and can afford the 100 bucks, get the other keyboard.

Works with my Surface Pro 3
I have never had or used a touch keyboard so I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into, but for the price, I just couldn't pass it up. It will take some time to get used to it, but I haven't had any real typing issues with it so far. Sometimes I miss the space bar or shift keys, but I'm so used to actually pressing a button down that again, just takes some time to get used to. The magnetic connection is strong and the touchpad works. I also bought this hoping it would work with my surface pro 3 and it does. It's also thin, so you'll definitely want to take care of it as I'm sure it could break easily. So far, so good though and I'm glad I made this purchase.

but watch out as it attracts dirt and grime like crazy with no real way to clean it
Works well, but watch out as it attracts dirt and grime like crazy with no real way to clean it. If you're not careful, it will look pretty unappealing very quickly. Also, if your going to spend the money I would go with the "type" cover instead. It is easier to clean and the responsiveness and feel of actual clicking keys is worth the premium. It's not that this one is bad or doesn't work, but it is kind of like taping on the table. There is no give to the keys, so the tactile feedback to let you know that the keystroke was registered is just not there.

Decent
Pros:1. Good quality material.2. Color was spot on for my sister (this was a gift).3. No attachment connection issues.4. Compatible with Surface2.Cons:1. Had to fight the driver install for this keyboard to even work, very time consuming!2. After fighting drivers and getting the keyboard to function, I had to "reset" the Surface2 to get the type sound to function.Very time consuming to get to have to setup, noobs/non-techs might want to spend the big bucks to buy a plug&play genuine keyboard.

Easy to set-up and use.
When I found this for the price of around $14 in comparison to leading products I had to get it. Was easy to set up with just clicking to my tablet and using it immediately. The only thing I’m not used to and don’t like is that it so stiff. There is little function with the push of the buttons. It’s like giving a firm push on a touch screen board. Other then that it works perrrfecto.

Good for what it is (and costs)
For the price of 15-ish bucks, this is a steal.That being said, I was in a unique situation of owning a Surface RT (a gift) without a touch cover, so it made perfect sense at the time.It makes the tablet more usable. It is, however, a disappointing keyboard. I've heard the newer ones are much better. The tablets and keyboards, that is. Surface did not make a strong entry, but they picked it up significantly shortly thereafter. Still sucks that they put out a "Windows" product without the Windows advantage of running Windows programs. I'd prefer Android on it.Anyway, I'm rambling. Point is, for the price and the particular niche it fills, this keyboard is a cool buy. Looks nice, too. Nothing screams "MASCULINE" like whipping out a pink pseudo-keyboard in a New Delhi airport surrounded by judgmental eyes. Who are they to judge? If they knew any better, they'd be in Bangalore.

I like it. I use it frequently and it seems ...
Going to edit this because i'm an idiot. Was ticked off when this arrived because i thought "wtf ... I ordered a keyboard not a cover for my tablet" threw it in the back of my car and forgot about it. A year later i cleaned out my car and found it again (still packaged) and brought it in the house. I had a vacation coming up and thought i could use a cover for my tablet. Plugged it onto my surface and was shocked to find it was actually a keyboard. I like it. I use it frequently and it seems more than worth it for the price.

Works well, a bit of getting used to
The keyboard is a bit hard to get used to since it is a touch keypad and does not have keys that depress.Overall, works well. Purchased to use with my surface pro3.

This keyboard is alright. It gets the job done ...
This keyboard is alright. It gets the job done, but the keys sensitivity isn't consistent. Sometimes you have to press harder and sometimes a light touch works.

Love it
Fitting perfectly. Just the colour may be easy to get dirty.
