Good buy to make your tablet work more like a laptop with all the convenience of a tablet.
I just got mine. I actually bought a second for my wife. I have not experienced and hope I don't what others have said about cracking the screen or fitment too tight. I have a surface 6 that I use it with. I read the instructions first and found that the clips are slightly adjustable so just make sure your fit is good and hopefully this helps avoid problems. It is heavier than the surface keyboard but for me this is not an issue. It seems very well built and solid. I like the backlight on the keyboard better than the surface keyboard and overall it is very simple to use. Instructions for it can be found on the web quite easily. I think about the only thing I don't like is I can't find a cover to fit the whole unit now. With the hinges it makes it so the cover I had does not work anymore but that is something I will have to deal with. It is also nice that if you forget to turn off the keyboard that it goes to sleep by itself after 20 minutes of non use and then turns on automatically when you open it. Overall I have to say I really like this keyboard. I honestly don't use mine much as a tablet so it won't hardly be taken out which means less chances of causing cracks in the screen but if you are careful I think the problems encountered should be minimal. I don't notice any screen bleed anywhere but again I did just get it, I am hoping for the best. Overall I would have to say that this is what I wanted. Yes I bought the surface but with the intentions that it has incredible battery life and is very portable. The one thing I didn't like about it was the limited ability to put the screen where I wanted it and this keyboard solves that problem with ease. I have to say if this continues to perform I feel I got exactly what I wanted. I can't review the battery life as like I said I just got it. Hope this helps you in making your decision. I was able to get both of mine on eBay as open box items and saved some money. I will very likely sell my surface keyboards now.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not what I had hoped for
This item is very close to being top notch. It is very sturdy and the keyboard is large enough to mimic a regular desktop keyboard. Unfortunately there are some serious flaws. The worst is that keys stick. One must constantly retype keys to get them to react. This is very frustrating. Next is the weight. One pays a high price for a sturdy product. This product is very heavy and makes the keyboard/tablet combo a lot more cumbersome. Lastly because of the hinges that attach the tablet to the keyboard one cannot use a case. The combo becomes too wide and bulky in the hinge area. This leaves the tablet somewhat unprotected. Seems like the only solution is to get a second keyboard for portability and use the Brydge for non-travelling situations.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

It's great
I love that I can use my surface pro as a stable laptop now. The only thing that I would say that I don't like is that the keyboard is slightly laggy due to it being bluetooth probably and sometimes won't sense me clicking things or specifically with scrolling it's lag isn't that bad though if you can tolerate it. Great product overall though and it will last me a long time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best Accessory for your Surface Pro 4
Ever since I bought my Surface Pro 4, I have been disappointed whenever I tried to use it in laptop mode. It definitely is not designed to use on your lap. This Brydge keyboard addon is GREAT! I now have a functioning lap top whenever I need one. It is a little on the heavy side, but then it has to be in order to support the Surface Pro in whatever angle you chose to use it. So far, I have only had to charge the keyboard once, so I do not know how long the charge will hold, but I suspect with my usage it will be a long time. It is a quality keyboard that matches the look and feel of the Surface Pro tablet exactly. The keys have a good tactile feel to them. The Bluetooth connection is very stable and I have not had to re-link the keyboard since the initial setup. If you like to use your Surface Pro 4 as a laptop, do not hesitate to purchase one of these Brydge keyboards. You will not be disappointed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Brydge 12.3
Well constructed and solid. Keys are spread apart way more than the OEM keyboard and the backlit keys are great. Clam shell closure like a laptop, along with the stability of a laptop is a big plus over the OEM covers. Being able to detach the keyboard and move the tablet further away, due to the bluetooth functionality, is another great bonus. Nothing but a win with this product.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not a long-term solution
While I loved the quality of the material and the sturdiness when using it, there are two big (closely related) issues that made me return the product: 1) You cannot use this keyboard with any sort of case or cover you might want to put on the back of your Surface to protect it. The clamps at the bottom are very tight in order to lock in the Surface, which is necessary for the strong hold, but they wont allow any extra material between keyboard and Surface. 2) Much worse, and directly related to the above, the clamps are so tight that they can damage the screen and cause distortion to the edges. This is a well documented issue throughout reviews online with pictures to support. Not worth the risk for such an expensive machine.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Proceed using with Care
The concept is fantastic, but it needs revision. My tablet didn't shut completely off and in transport it was attached to the Brydge keyboard. Evidently the tablet heated up and the screen cracked at the hinge attach points. This happened a week after using it with no problems. The keyboard works great otherwise. I will not attach it to the tablet when I get it back from the repair shop, but I will use the keyboard separately.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Dump the MS issue keyboard!
The Brydge 12.3 turned my Surface Pro 3 into an excellent lap top. The keyboard is immediately responsive; has a great feel; is full metal construction, and replaced that ridiculous keyboard that MS produces for the Surface. One minor drawback is the weight. It weighs more that the surface, and could be an issue is you want to carry it around, but none the less, is well worth it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Perfect keyboard for a possibly perfect tablet
The keyboard is a snap to setup and hold the Surface Pro 4 snugly. The key travel is great and allows for comfortable continual typing. The keys are big enough to be comfortable, even with large hands. I did have one screw loose on the bottom, and a quick check of the rest of them showed 3 others were as well. Not a huge deal, but I can see others being upset about losing one screw in 11. I have only had it for a couple of weeks, but it truly turns the Surface into a Laptop. The weight is noticeable though since it almost doubles the weight of the Surface alone.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
