Works well for Asus ProArt PZ13
This keyboard DOES work with the Asus ProArt PZ13. If you have the PZ13 you're probably looking for an alternative to the wobbly stock keyboard so that you can actually use your laptop on your lap. This keyboard works. It's not a perfect fit but it definitely works. The screen is a bit heavier than the keyboard, so it's a bit top heavy, but thats only a possible issue if you're using it on a flat surface with the screen angled back. Fortunately, the magnetic back with the kick stand flap thingy (and the pen holder) will still attach even with the keyboard on, so even this isn't really an issue. The keyboard connects with Bluetooth. I've been using it for over a week and I've never had to reconnect or had any connectivity issues. The only thing to remember is that there's not an open/close sensor, so make sure you tap the power button on the laptop before you close it. The keyboard automatically goes into a power saving mode so I haven't seen a need to worry about charging. It also charges with USB-C. I used the laptop charger and didn't have any issues. Slide the keyboard on when the screen is off so the pressure of the tabs doesn't trigger the touch sensor.

Great when it works, which is hardly ever...
As others have said, the build quality and usability of this keyboard are amazing. However it just won't stay connected to my Surface. Whenever my tablet or the keyboard go into sleep mode the keyboard completely forgets how to pair with my Surface and I have to remove and pair the keyboard again in my Bluetooth settings. The same thing happens whenever I plug in or unplug the keyboard with the USB cable for charging. So for a regular day of use I end up having to pair the keyboard with my tablet about 10-15 times. I tried to reach out to Brydge support regarding this issue and was fed the bog standard "update your drivers" response and then promptly ghosted after replying that I had already done that and gone so far as to reinstall Windows on my Surface. It has been 2 days now and Brydge support has not gotten back to me with next steps. I'm not sure if my device is defective or if this is the way the thing is supposed to work. I'll update this post if Brydge support ever gets back to me with a resolution or if I just have to return it to Amazon and swear off Brydge products forever.

Surface Pro 9 5G - feels premium works seamlessly with no issues
Using with my Surface Pro 9 5G -This keyboard only costing 36 bucks. Even if it lasted a year or more is totally worth it. Look at the surface pro keyboard cost and tell me it's not.Compared to the actual surface pro keyboard it's a much more premium feeling. The Touchpad works great, the backlit keys are perfect. When you close the keyboard, it causes the screen to turn off like a normal laptop and overall makes the tablet feel and function like a normal laptop. I have not had any issues with the bluetooth as of yet. The keyboard holds the tablet very well and does not feel as if it would separate easily. But it also does separate allowing you to use as a tablet as needed.I would label myself as a picky person with electronics and this is a keeper.How it's getting such bad reviews is beyond me. Maybe specific to the Surface Pro 8?Just buy it!

Fantastic for the price; unfortunately, software/updates no longer supported
Absolutely fantastic keyboard. When I bought this brand new years ago, it was $150! But completely worth it because it handles all of the usual Microsoft Office hotkeys. This increases my efficiency.For the price today at 1/3 or less of the original cost, it's totally worth it. Unfortunately, it no longer receives updates and I do have an issue with my Bluetooth. I have to re-search and re-link it every time I use it. Then I have to delete/"forget" it from the list since I get dozens of connections after days of use. There is no way to fix/resolve this since the software is no longer supported. But aside from this inconvenience, it works very well.I use this for my laptop - not for my tablet. I do not need the hinges on the corners. It's very easy to remove those hinges; however, without them, the corner is very sharp. I used gorilla tape to create some "bumpers" so I can carry this in my laptop case.

Love It!
I was hesitant to purchase this product due to the many negative reviews, specifically regarding the battery life and the Bluetooth connectivity. I have had this product for 4 days and have used it quite a bit for work and personal use. My feedback is as follows:1) So far, I have not had any connectivity issues. When my Surface goes to sleep, whether it's for one hour or 12 hours, the keyboard wakes up at the stroke of a key, and the Bluetooth connection resumes seamlessly without issue. Perhaps they resolved the issue that others have complained about.2) Installation is incredibly easy, the Surface fits perfectly into the device, and it functions precisely as you would hope it would. It feels completely like a regular laptop.3) The keys feel good, easy to type on, reasonably quiet.4) The trackpad is average at best. The "click" feels and sounds cheap but it works. The track pad isn't as fluid as the Surface typecover's trackpad - the cursor is a little jumpy, but it works just fine.5) The battery life seems to be just fine so far. I charged it to 100% after unboxing and before first use. That was 96 hours ago and it's currently at 92% battery life. I would estimate about 8-10 hours of use in that 96 hour timeframe. Based on this sample size, I would imagine I will have to recharge the device a couple times a month, which is no big deal at all.Conclusion:I am extremely pleased with my purchase. This product looks and functions exactly as I had hoped it would. I only wish I had bought it sooner.
