Microsoft Surface Go Type Cover, Ultra-Slim Portable Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad for Latest Surface Go 4, 3 (2021), 2 (2020) and Built-in Rechargeable Battery

I bought this particular product due to the fact that it was Bluetooth enabled, wireless, and rechargeable. After removing the packaging, and charging it, I put it to use.First of all it’s not as flimsy as the keyboard I used previously. Build quality is pretty good, nothing about it made me think that it would not stand up to its intended daily use. The keyboard set up is the standard U.K. QWERTY version. There‘s a nice variety of shortcut keys, all of which are useful and well thought out/easy to remember and, despite its size, the keys themselves are a good size.The trackpad aspect - I noted that there’s been a few comments regarding its ability to function responsively. I didn’t find it to be the same. If anything I was pleasantly surprised, and didn’t feel that it lagged in anyway. For me it’s a definite plus point.Bluetooth compatibility A-ok. Very quick to connect, no issues whatsoever.Overall it’s a well made, useful tool when it comes to turning your tablet into a mini laptop. The price adds to its appeal. In my opinion it’s brilliant value for money, lots of bang for your buck.Customer Service - I did contact the company who, in turn, were very quick to respond, as well as being helpful regarding my questions. In all both the product and the ARTECK brand, highly recommended.

Works with regular iPad, both trackpad and keyboard via Bluetooth. Mine is 10.2” 7th gen but don’t see why wont work with others. Quality is good and is super light. Not all keys map as expected i.e @ and “ are swapped. Trackpad even supports two fingers for scrolling but not quite perfectly. The latest software update adds proper mouse and trackpad support that is great. Being designed for surface go, this does not connect to iPad however. So you have to just put it down on table separately. Another review here says they are using with iPad Pro and they cut the flap off. The keyboard is great for the price but is not as nice as the apple one or other premium ones I have used, but for the price is great and perfectly usable. It would be nice if Artech created an iPad specific version with this trackpad and I would be happy to test one should they see my review.

Does exactly what it is supposed to, protects the screen when not in use, syncs up easily, and whenever I wake up the surface, is ready to go. I like that it has it's own battery as it's not draining the tablet, and it's not heavy so as long as you remember to charge not an issue. Of course the keyboard feels a bit rustic, but then it's very inexpensive, and all I care about is functionality which is why it's getting 5 stars. I have only had it a few days, so reserve the right to amend this review if it doesn't last, but so far it's been in constant use and is doing fine.

Before i start i am using it on a Ipad 10.5, no Microsoft device is welcome in my home .... So my Microsoft wedge mouse went wrong ,I have been using it in conjunction with a Logitech keys to go keyboard on my Ipad I was just going to buy another ,but then I wondered if any of the 3rd party surface keyboards which include a track pad ( IOS 13.4 introduced mouse and trackpad support ) would work I looked at Brydge (Just to costly), So I found a Arteck HB216 which was on offer on Amazon which worked out cheaper than a good quailty travel mouse. The trackpad is pretty good if not a little small, and does all the things a trackpad should. (Click, select, double finger drag) . The whole keyboard is about the right size for a Ipad 10.5, it’s a little on the small side, but the travel is very MacBook in feel , and so far it seems accurate and easy to use. Battery life is impossible to tell at this point , the majority of the short cuts work , so volume , brightness etc . And as long as you turn on full access for the keyboards all the key combinations seem to work so tab A gets you back to all open programmes etc. The only slight issue is that not all the keys work as expected the @ symbol seems to map on to the”.There is also a extra flop of material which I assume connects to the surface, but it does not get in the way and it seems to stop the whole thing slipping around. I guess if you were handy you could fashion this in to some kind of attached keyboard, but I loath portfolio cases , so will just carry this is a little slip pocket.An update is that I have cut off all the flappy bit at the top,that assumed holds on the surface, this is now much smaller and the flappy bit is gone. I also liked the packaging, just cardboard ,no plastics
