Brydge SPX+ Wireless Keyboard with Precision Touchpad | Compatible with Microsoft Surface Pro X | Designed for Surface | (Black)

My Microsoft keyboard went south, talking to support they sent me a new one which did not solve the problem. It took me awhile to solve the problem and that is not issue is not part of this review. While I was working my way through the issue I purchased one of these Brydge SPX keyboards. Since it connects to my Surface X via Bluetooth, I don't have to worry about the old connection via the hardware port on the bottom. I like it as it lasts a long time after charging, I think along the order of a week and a half (and I use it all day every day), it lights up so I can see the keys in the dark, has added functionality of the Settings on a key as well as Bluetooth pairing key. Its holds the Surface firmly in two, for lack of a better word, yoke or sockets. Integrates so well you would never know its third party. Its a bit hefty, but that's OK as it provides a good mate to the Surface and removes any flex when you pick up the computer. I feel this protects the screen from cracking, which Surfaces seem to suffer from. Comes in a nice box, responsive company when I had a couple questions. The Bluetooth connection can be a bit slow when waking the Surface up and sometimes it slips into Pair status instead of Connected status. At that point you remove the device and run through the Pair routine and you are back in business inside 5 minutes.But this happens very very infrequently. Recommend this as a keyboard replacement.

They didn't maintain quality as it charge price. Every time you need to connect and pair again. Sometimes it slow down my pc. 2 star only for now. An improvement can lift to 5 star. Make it smooth.

This is a nice option for Surface Pro X users. The keyboard and trackpad are nicely made and work well. It's a little heavy, and the battery life when NOT in use seems like it could be a little better. This isn't that big of a deal, since you can always just plug it into the Surface itself and keep right on going.My only gripes are:1. If you DO want to charge the KB from the Surface, you need a USB-C to USB-C cable that stretches all the way across/behind the unit, since they put the charging port opposite of the Surface USB-C ports - why?2. You wind up having to re-pair the KB almost every time you turn it on if you don't use the device daily. It's super easy to do, but after using the regular Type Cover for over a year, I am quite spoiled buy the always connected, flawless performance of the Type Cover.Another issue is that there is no way (as of yet) to charge the Surface pen without the Type Cover. So, if you are a heavy pen user, the Brydge solution may not work will for you. I didn't hold that against the Brydge in my review, since I knew what to expect going in.

This is an excellent keyboard. Following instructions I was able to connect with my tablet in seconds. The keys have normal spacing; the TouchPad is smooth. But 1 small problem: the clips used to attach the keyboard are too narrow for pro surface 9. I found by lifting the kickstand in back I could make it fit. For pro surface 9 buy BRYDGE SP+ 8. This keyboard is perfect for pro surface X.

I have been a brydge customer for several years now. I bought one 4 years ago when I first got my surface and I loved it. I loved that it converted my surface into a laptop and I could still use my surface like a tablet as well. Sometimes it has trouble pairing but generally I can figure it out. It stopped working at one point though and I reached out to customer service and they were great and sent me a new one.Recently it stopped working again. Like the first time, it stopped holding a charge so I can’t connect at all. I reached out to customer service again and looks like they’ve been bought out by Uinta, and now there’s nothing like it. You could try buying it if you’re willing to cash out more money every time it breaks but unfortunately it’s not a sustainable product :(

While I prefer this keyboard to the one that comes recommended with the surface pro x, the “6 months battery life” advertisement is completely false. I’ve been using it very lightly (a couple of hours a day, minimal typing, keyboard backlight off) and the keyboard battery completely drained within a week. I don't think its possible to use it any less than i have this past week, so I don't see in what universe their 6 months claim holds.

Solid keyboard with good battery life and Bluetooth connectivity. It is heavy though. Built like a tank.

Horrible Bluetooth connection - you literally have to reconnect it from scratch every 20 mins once the device is asleep or turned off - this is a HUGE disappointment and I wish a refund for this product. Do NOT BUY.
