Microsoft Surface Tablet On Screen Keyboard

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have used a microsoft surface keyboard for the past decade or so, but the keys are starting to wear off and since I got a new Lenovo IdeaPad I figured I'd try this keyboard combo too. I am pleasantly surprised by the premium quality, how quiet the keys are, and how quickly I was able to transition to it. So far, so good, and I'm pretty set in my ways.

I have been using both Microsoft and this mac keyboard. However while the keys on the surface keyboard are excellent. This keyboard is AMAZING! great for all day use strait out of the box. The magic here is in the keys them selves requiring very little to no force needed to trigger a key stroke. This keyboard is a pleasure to use and can see using this for years to come.

As soon as I connect, the computer immediately detected the Microsoft surface mouse and keyboard. It's fast and no has delay. Does not fail even in situations of intense use such as line drawing or fast typing.

Microsoft surface pen is a great choice

I keep one of these in my tablet bag and it cleans the screen and all surfaces great! I sometimes use it to place my tablet on if the surface looks like it may scratch the finish. Great product!

This is my 2nd Wacom drawing tablet. I bought a CTL480 last year to use for whiteboarding with remote workers, and since that was discontinued I got the CTL490 recently. With the right software (I use Smooth Draw, which is free), both work very well for this purpose. I spend many hours with each, and the main difference seems to be the CTL480 has a smoother feel of nib on writing surface, which is better for writing words fast, and the CTL490 has a bit more scratchiness, which works better for true drawing & sketching. The CTL480 is actually a little too slippery for precision drawing. I like the slightly heavier and wider circumference of the CTL480 stylus better, but the 490 one works fine. I mapped the 152x95 mm drawing surface to 1728x1080 pixels (rather than using the default mapping) because this matches the aspect ratios, making natural hand motions on the tablet match what shows up on the screen. It's not quite as good as writing with your favorite pen or pencil or paper, but it's very good, and I like it better than writing directly on the screen of the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and 4. Those felt a little too slick for me, and if you're drawing the feel is quite important.

I was struggling with calligraphy on my iPad because of the surface of the tablet. But having the Paperlike screen protector made things so much easier. I’m able to work on calligraphy projects & take notes without the pen slipping. It really replicates my handwriting now. Great product!

I have used several types of laptop computers, but Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is more than I expected :)

this is by far the best tablet i have ever owned with all the functionality of the s pen the bigger screen and ability to use a keyboard its much better than any laptop or computer i own for what i need it for!! will be a samsung owner for life!

Pairs with the Microsoft Surface Go I got as a gift for my spouse. She's quite happy with it.
