Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard - Matte Black. Standalone Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard. Compatible with Bluetooth Enabled PCs/Mac

I have a thinkpad Lenovo and I was trying to look for a keyboard that is the same size and has similar keys (I do a lot of copy and pasting with the keyboard). And this keyboard is AMAZING! it has a great weight to it, the keys are like soft buttons that you click, it's like a matte material so it doesn't get all greasy (like my Lenovo keyboard) and it's just the perfect size.The only thing I wasn't crazy about (which really isn't anything at all. I would still buy 10 of these) is that when it was shipped the batteries were already in it, but the instructions told me I had to flip them over. But really I didn't... So i thought it was a dud keyboard and not working. And one of the batteries had like a hairline of carozion on it. It easily wiped of. Like I said. I would still buy 100 of these keyboards. Never buying a different kind! GET IT! You will be happy you did...

Excellent wireless keyboard. I can control my laptop from my bed as my laptop is hardwired to my TV and stereo. Very easy to type on. Small I compact with great battery life.

Nice quality keyboard, key travel, and size. Battery life has been great with Windows 11.I love no wires. Very happy with my purchase.

Honestly, I wanted to love this thing. I'm even writing my review with it right now. But it's going back, and for reasons that may not bother you. I'll start with things that I really like. It's fairly quiet, the keystrokes travel isn't too bad and it's pretty easy to get used to, and the fact this will connect to three Bluetooth devices is great. It's also very responsive. I wanted to give this one a try because I was deciding between it or the newer Surface Keyboard (2nd Edition) -- I absolutely LOVE my original Surface Keyboard, and I also use the Apple Magic Keyboard with my MacMini. So having one that could work with both was nice.Unfortunately, I am a numeric keypad junkie. I make due on laptops without them, but on my home computers I really maximize their use, both on Mac and PC. So not having one here really started to get on my nerves. I also noticed that the pitch of the keyboard is much lower (closer to the Apple one), which is not bad, but it's not to my liking as it's almost flat. I find the Surface Keyboard to be more comfortable.Some people have talked about the batteries, and I agree that coin-type CR batteries seem strange, but that does make this a lower profile and lighter keyboard. Assuming it has a decent battery life, I guess it's okay. I would have just made it rechargeable if you were going to flatten it out though. The Apple one is, and the Surface one that I use is a AAA battery (no power switch). Both of those seemingly last forever, I don't know how long you can go if you forget to flick the switch off/on here.Perhaps my biggest gripe is the ability to customize keys -- more specifically, the ability to customize exactly SIX keys. Even that isn't entirely true. You can tweak settings for the FN key (does it default ON or OFF), and there's an "Expressive Key" that only offers three things: Expressive (same as the WINKEY + PERIOD shortcut for emojis etc), an Office Key, and Application Key. By comparison, there are four keys at the top (F5-F8) that you can change so many more thing on, even setting up a macro key combo if you want. I just don't understand why this option isn't give to the Expressive key to let me do what I want with it. Or even let me make it another Windows key or update the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center to allow for it to become a CoPilot shortcut like the new Surface keyboard (and most newer laptops) are doing.Yes, I use the "Expressive" menu/options/emojis regularly, but I don't need a single key for it. I've developed a muscle memory for WIN+PERIOD(.) at this point. I'm good.But that's probably not a reason for most NOT to pick this keyboard up. It's still a great little keyboard. Ultimately, I'm going to spend the extra $80 and pick up the Surface 2nd Edition. Yes, it means I'll still need another keyboard for my Mac, but I'm okay with that.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Well-made keyboard, but the battery system is quite awkward.Also, the presence of useless keys (like the emoji key? OMG...) is a downside.

Form factor is small and what I was hoping for. Also and keyboard feel is good, but this thing is a dog.First, the thing falls asleep and won't wake up, when it finally wakes the wireless connection baud rate might be 1 bit per second. Second the Bluetooth pairing button sitting on the F1 gets hit all the time and locks you out completely until the pairing function times out. Avoid this MS thing and get a Logitech branded device.

I absolutely love this keyboard. 50 years typing in an office environment and this is the best keyboard I've used. Compact but easy to type on and keys very responsive and easy to use. Compact size gives a lot of desk space and allows me to use my 2 computers and my cell phone (to text messages). Switches quickly between devices. Make me more efficient and my job easier.

This keyboard is incredibly compact but does not sacrifice a quality typing experience in exchange for the smaller form factor. The soft touch keys provide a wonderful texture and the key size and spacing make for a fluid, error-free workflow. There is no wasted space in terms of the design. The keys push out to near the edge of the board, and the rounded corners and slight lift at the back with the non-slip rubber feet are perfect. I have an M2 MacBook Air open during my workday to complete personal tasks, and I have a Windows laptop connected to two monitors for work. The keyboard on my M2 and this Microsoft keyboard are very similar in terms of key size, so switching between the two is seamless. The setup process could not have been easier. As soon as you pull the battery tag, Windows acknowledges the keyboard. And after one click, you’re connected! The bonus here is that this keyboard is perfect for travel as well, but I also have no hesitation in recommending this as a daily driver. This is a WONDERFUL keyboard!
