Good alternative to touch type keyboard
Nice Backlighting and good quality keys. Tactile feedback is a bit lacking but for how slim and small the construction is, overall this is a great product. This keyboard was for my mother but I don't hate the purple and if you can live with the color there is a considerable price break on it compared to the more standard color options. MY RATING SYSTEM: I try to stick with the same criteria and system when reviewing products and here is how it breaks down… FIVE STARS: Great Product, would feel completely confident in recommending to others and consider the product to be a great overall value with no obvious faults. FOUR STARS: Still a very good product, I consider it to be overall a good satisfying purchase and can still recommend it in good faith but there is one small aspect about the product keeping it from a perfect score. THREE STARS: A good product but not a great one, it operates and appears as advertised but more than one aspect of the item is undesirable. This is an item I would use but probably consider an alternative option. TWO STARS: Product is definitely lacking in quality and or the way it operates. Would not recommend it to others and would seek and alternative elsewhere. It maybe just barely does what it is advertised to do but is probably not worth the money and there are many negative factors about it. ONE STAR: No two ways about it, this is a bad product and I would not recommend anybody purchase it.

Recommended - Slim but easy to type
The keyboard feels like a real laptop, connects instantly with the magnetic attachment, and the backlight is super useful at night .The trackpad is small but works fine. Overall, it makes the Surface way more functional, highly recommend.

Great little keyboard for my Surface RT
Hands down the best keyboard ever! I bought my Surface RT (don't laugh) over a year ago as a replacement for an old work computer that was blue-screening me every other day. I was told I needed more RAM or something which would require a lengthy trip to the computer hospital and I have a hectic schedule, just no time for that. Anyhow, I bought the Surface RT and it didn't come with a keyboard. Someone I knew had an extra so I had been using that one. I should have just splurged and spent the $35 to get this Type Cover 2. This thing is brilliant! The keys are sharp and easy to feel as you're pressing them. Whatever model keyboard I had before for my Surface had keys that didn't quite go down as far as these. This feels really amazing on my fingers. Keys are super responsive and I definitely like the sensation that I'm using springy new keys. Hand me down keyboards are the worst. Actually after that hand me down keyboard died, I "borrowed" a keyboard off a Surface Pro at my office and was using that. It was too big for my RT but fit fine as a sub until this new keyboard arrived. Keys on the Surface Pro keyboard are not as nice feeling as the Type Cover 2 in my humble opinion. Another great thing about this one is the backlighting. My other keyboard also had backlighting so this is not new to me but I'm literally in the dark right now sitting by a fireplace writing this review and it's great to be able to see all the keys. Once I stop to think about what I'm going to type next, it fades to dark for a second but as soon as I start moving my fingers it lights up. Great energy saving feature! All in all, super happy with this keyboard. And I should write a separate review for my Surface RT which is also turning out to be the best computer I've ever had. Great for work and super portable! A+'s all around. Thank you, Microsoft!

With This Price ($36), It Is A Good Investment!
I have Surface RT with Touch Cover and while it is OK, I can't type on it for a long time. And 5 years ago, Type Cover was expensive, so I passed it. But last week, I accidentally came across Type Cover 2 (backlit keyboard) in Amazon and the price was cheap ($36 for a purple one) so I jumped on it. And I like it a lot. Much much better than the Touch Cover: 1. FUNCTION: It feels better to type and with backlit (adjustable) keyboard you can type in the dark. All the keys and functions work fine (if it doesn't work after initial connection with the Surface, then restart the Surface while the keyboard is attached). 2. QUALITY: The plastic keys and the fabric cover are very nice to touch and they are strong. 3. PRICE: For $36.00, this is very good choice for your Surface RT. A comparable Bluetooth keyboard (with backlit) does not have the thinness, tactile feel, convenience [that connects to RT directly] or touch pad. I give 4 stars, because touch pad is just average. It works, but not always responsive as you would like. So you might want to use a mouse of your choice (either Bluetooth or USB optical mouse). So if you type a lot on your Surface RT, then this Type Cover is perfect for you. Recommended!

これまで、へこまないキーボードでした。入力した感じはしないし、入力間違いはするしで、ストレスがたまりました。このキーボードにして「普通」に入力できるので、気持ちいいです。

Bello il colore proprio come in foto, il materiale è morbido ma la struttura è resistente. Lo uso per il tablet e fa anche da cover.

Aunque tiene un poco de truco la configuración pero una vez configurado, funciona perfectamente y cómodamente con la SURFACE RT
