Review: On sale it's great - I wouldn't feel as pleased with this at full price, but at just over 200 bucks for the keyboard AND the pen, it's worth it. I like the simplicity. I've got a few other Surface devices and a Brydge for an older one, and a MS keyboard for my Surface Pro 4. They work well, but this one feels better. I like the key responsiveness. A good positive feel for every single key press, which is critical for someone like myself who touch types very quickly. Sturdy, even when I have it in the tilted position slightly so there is air underneath it and it tilts down forwards to me. Backlight works well. I also like the function lock ease. No BIOS needed like the HP Spectre this Surface Pro 9 is replacing. Pen works well. I've been dealing with Microsoft touch devices since the days of Windows XP Tablet Edition. I even won a few Microsoft MVP awards in the technology. And this is the best it's been so far. The not round pen takes a bit of getting used to, but not much. And I love the charging in the dock in the keyboard, and how it's just always there, but not hanging off the side like older Surface devices did. I kept having them get knocked off going in and out of my laptop bags. Trackpad is smooth, consistent. Press to click works across it in all areas, no spot is dead or less responsive. On sale, worth every penny. Review: Responsive, Backlight is OK, Easily connects to Surface Pro 9, Holds pen securely - I upgraded from the Surface Pro 6 to the Surface Pro 9 and bought this keyboard for it since it was less expensive than the one offered on the Microsoft site even though it is the same keyboard. I chose Poppy Red since red is my favorite color and it was also the least expensive of the color choices. Since I also have the Microsoft keyboard from my Surface Pro 6, can compare the two. Since this keyboard comes with no user manual, some of the features must be figured out on the fly. For example, the keyboard backlight must be turned on with the F1 key and the light intensity is adjustable by pressing this key multiple times. There are 3 backlight intensities to choose from. The color of the poppy red keyboard is darker than what shows on the sales page. It is a dark red that is mottled with black. I still like it, but it's not what I expected. I liked the color of the red keyboard for my Surface 6 better. I do very much like that the pen is stored in a slot on the keyboard rather than attached to the side of the tablet as it was on the Surface Pro 6. This helps to prevent the pen from being lost and holds the pen securely when not in use. I also like that the touchpad is very responsive and can be efficiently used when a mouse is not available. Overall, I am happy with this keyboard. I hope this review was helpful for you. ## Features - Choose your keyboard color: Red, Ice Blue, Platinum, and Black.(1) - Always ready at your fingertips.

The keyboard does function as intended the keys are pretty quiet and the track pad works flawlessly. The track pad is touch sensitive but also click sensitive. The keyboard stays in place the magnet is super strong in both the pencil part and the part that holds onto the actual surface. It’s super lively in color and bold! The pen has click buttons on top at the “eraser” and on the side which come in useful for editing pictures etc. the colors work beautifully together they’re vibrant and bold the red is a real statement piece. Also plus side to all of it, the whole thing is self charging and doesn’t require an additional charger to function. ## Frequently Bought Together - Microsoft Surface Pro Signature Keyboard with Slim Pen 2 - Black - SPARIN [2 Pack] Screen Protector for Surface Pro 11 2024/Microsoft Surface Pro 9/Surface Pro 10/Surface Pro 8/Surface Pro X, [13 inch], 9H Tempered Glass/Support Surface Pen --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/363523762-microsoft-surface-pro-signature-keyboard-with-slim-pen-2-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/363523762-microsoft-surface-pro-signature-keyboard-with-slim-pen-2-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-10-25*
