Brydge Keyboard for Microsoft Surface Pro 7/6/5/4 -Silver

I'd love to give this a 5 star, but, well, it's quite a heavy gadget. Don't get me wrong - I love it, but it makes an already weighty Surface Pro 4 even heavier. That out the way, on to the good stuff. Getting rid of the kickstand and regular keyboard cover is very liberating. It takes up about 10cm less on my desk (which is cramped as it is) and I can use the Surface on my lap or anywhere a regular laptop can go for that matter. Build quality is fantastic. Nice aluminium styling, just like the Surface itself. The keys feel quite good, though you have to give the trackpad a quick flick to wake things up first. You tend to miss the first...view more I'd love to give this a 5 star, but, well, it's quite a heavy gadget.

You tend to miss the first keystroke otherwise. I've not had to recharge it for ages - the trade-off of that weight is a battery that last for ages (the Brydge battery only drives the Bluetooth keyboard, by the way). Sliding the Surface in/out of the hinges is easy, but they are still grippy enough so you can hold the whole thing by the screen and not have the Surface fall out accidentally. I see you can also get a Brydge with a space for an extra SSD drive. I really like that idea! In summary: Weighty, but turns the Surface into a regular laptop (more or less) when you need it to be a regular laptop.
