TOMSENN Surface Pro Type Cover, Portable Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad, 7-Color LED Backlit and Built-in Rechargeable Battery (LED Backlit)

This is my 3rd keyboard cover brand. the last 2 didnt, well, last! the keys wouldn't register and would break after light use. This Tomsenn keyboard felt different right out of the box. First off, it was the only time I got a surface keyboard actually packaged by the manufacturer to withstand shipping. The keys are sturdy, register with no ghosting and have a satisfying click to them. This is also my first LED lit keyboard and was worried it would effect its battery but knew I could turn it off if so, Ive kept the lights on my favorite color all night and didnt experience any less battery time than previous brands. The magnets all are strong and the lack of flex to the board are terrific. If i had any criticism, I would say the USB C connector could hold the connection a little more snug, but it does the job just fine and a non-issue. I picked Tomsenn because they are form Shenzhen. I have never been to Shenzhen but almost every electronic I own (my phone, my computer parts, my laptop, server replacement parts) thats lasted me years has been from that city. Tomsenn is no exception. Buying products form a company located in Shenzhen has never failed me yet and I wish I discovered Tomsenn sooner.

Unfortunately this keyboard is hilariously bad. Many of the keys keep sending a signal that they’re being pressed even when they’re not being touched. The z key is a particular troublemaker for me (thisz is a sentenzce wherzez I didzn’t backspace the random extra zz’zs zizt azdded in by itself after pressing the key) and sometimes it will stay completely stuck until the key is pressed a few more times. One of my students joked that my keyboard seems tired. Yesterday my Surface was getting extremely hot while it was closed and in my bag because the keyboard kept telling sending a signal that the z key was being held down, keeping my device awake. The brightness keys also get stuck like this, forcing me to choose between absolute max/min brightness only. Other issues: some of the keys are wobbly, crooked, and not fully attached (see pics). The manual is full of errors and typos (“Erro checking” is my favorite!). The touchpad is laggy and inaccurate. The USB-C charger doesn’t register as charging unless plugged in very tightly, and the keyboard stops charging if the charger is moved even slightly. It does have some upsides though. The clicks on the touchpad and on the keys are pretty satisfying. It’s also a few dollars cheaper than the competition. It does have a USB-C port rather than micro-USB (although the connector is pretty bad). The magnet it uses to attach to the Surface is pretty strong (possibly even stronger than an official one). Despite the upsides though, the key sticking issue and the random waking up issue makes it totally unusable (not to mention the other cons). Unless you’re in it for the zcomedy valuez ofz hilazzriouszz typozs --- I’d avoid this completely and spend some more for a different keyboard. I’ll be returning mine.

Works as expected, no issues with my Surface PRO 4. My type cover port on the Surface broke and I could not use any type covers on it. This was the next best option I could find. Keep in mide the following if you are looking at this product: - It is a Bluetooth keyboard/glide point. It does not interface with the Surface through the type cover port - It fits on the bottom of the Surface with magnets and I have not had any issues with it falling off. - It is slightly thicker than a regular type cover - It needs to be recharged periodically, USB-C cable included - It must be turned on/off separately from the computer. So far it has worked great for what I needed. The only negative I have so far is there is no battery capacity available. Other BT devices will show the battery strength under the Devices on the computer, but not this one. No issues loosing BT connection or unavailability problems.

For the price I paid, I got what paid for. The unit fits on my Surface Pro 17 just fine (does not plug into the Surface, only magnetically snaps to the bottom, i.e., does not interface/charge via the Surface). It does fold over the Surface screen just as if it was genuine Microsoft product which was really cool and magnet grip is really, really strong - it won't fall off from the Surface. The lighted key are bright enough to be used in the dark, but the keys go off after 10-15 seconds of non-use. The only troubling thing is the charging port. It has to be the most strangest powering port in the world. Takes me quite an effort to get it to engage (magnetic hold in place and right in way of use making charging while in use a little difficult). So far, the thing has stayed charged for five eight-hour use days without running out of juice. Only other thing is when attached to the Surface it jacks up the keyboard as if it had fold out feet like you see on a normal keyboard. That is not an issue for me (I like a sloped keyboard), but it is so thin, it "oilcans" (i.e. bows with pressure) as opposed to laying flat on the desktop. A little annoying, but usable. Also, it starts up with the NUMLOCK always on which disables the letter keys, so you have to remember to turn off NUUMLOCK each time you start it up. SUPER ANNOYING! Not sure why it would default to that configuration?

This keyboard is super cool. I was worried because it was so inexpensive that it would be junk, but it IS REALLY GREAT! Fits my surface pro 3 perfectly. It's good quality. I can change the color for whatever mood I'm in. The touch pad works exactly like it should. I deffinatly recommend this item. I've only charged it the one time. I've had it two weeks. I don't use it a lot, but I still haven't had to charge it a second time yet. I love it. And this is a sincere review. I'm not posting it for a reward, just for the pure purpose of letting anyone that wants to know if it's worth it, that I think it deffinatly is.

So, I presume the parasitic nature of those who makes these products is not lost on their customers. And I also presume that like me, they were led to this purchase because their Surface Pro keyboards stopped working, and thought a replacement keyboard by Microsoft seems way too expensive. Yep, that's the trap I fell into and I regret it. Please ignore the nonsensical description of the product in the Amazon description. The things you need to know are: (a) the dimensions are slightly bigger than all Surface Pro versions so while the fit is workable, its not neat (and its much heavier than the Microsoft keyboard); (b) it works on Bluetooth so there can be delays on connection; (c) the battery does not last very long, so you are constantly in need of charging; (d) now whereas, the product is still relatively functional despite the issues (a) to (c), the issue that makes this a waste of money is the touchpad - its awful! For some reason (possibly related to drivers), the pad has a number of 'gesture rules' that are explained in the instruction manual. Good that is explained, but....why? Why can it not function as a normal touchpad. It makes it completely unworkable. Every time I track whilst in an open window, it will minimise, move it or even close it - perhaps because I have swiped too slowly or too quickly and enabled one of the 'gesture rules'. And I cannot do anything to disable them. I just want it to perform as a normal touchpad. You will be better off buying the Microsoft replacement, because as much as this seems cheaper, it still costs enough in comparison.

Edit - been using for a month or so now. Touch pad can be little funny and sensitive. Some keys get skipped when typing sometimes which is annoying. But for the price compared to what Microsoft wants, the hiccups don’t bother me! Great quality, quite impressed actually. Microsoft wants $200+ for a replacement keyboard, a joke. Love that this one has different back light colours and a Bluetooth option which my original broken one from Microsoft does not offer. Very impressed with this product. Will update if anything changes.

Great keyboard but the space bar does not work consistently. At least 50 percent of the time, it needs to be clicked twice. I have resorted to just typing everything and going back to editing and adding spaces after. My so used my Surface Pro and laptop and he was super frustrated. As am I but I've already paid good money so I'll just have suck it up to work around it.

First off, I ordered the gray backlit keyboard... Look at the alt and right click keys, they're supposed to be light buttons. Regardless... When I first received it, I was surprised by how good the build felt. The texture was very good however, the moment I started charging it, everything went downhill. I charged for ~30mins and started using it. It felt great, I ran a key test on it and everything worked except for the backspace button which felt weird. However the moment I unplugged it, the low battery light lit up, and it died on me INSTANTLY. it was no longer chargeable, and I had to write this review with my touchscreen keyboard. Do not trust this sketch brand.

I have purchased this keyboard a couple of months ago, and it worked very well. However about a week ago two keys popped off (the left - right arrow keys). I contacted the seller asking for help and within a few hours I got the offer to get a replacement at no extra charge (as there is a 1 yr warranty). About 4 days later the replacement has arrived and it is perfect. So: overall the item is very good, and if there is an issue, the seller is there to take care of it. Highly recommended - great item, top notch customer service!
