Hinges press on the screen in a terribly scary manner - I haven't personally had any issues with it cracking my screen but after reading some horror stories I always push the hinges close rather than just shutting the pro and letting them press the screen when I do so.

The surface pro's mouse pad is INFITITLEY BETTER. It's indented for some absolutely stupid reason and incredibly small. Trackpad is terrible - I mean TERRIBLE on the old model. Color is slightly off compared to the surface itself. My surface pro 3 had some latency, but my 6 has absolutely no issue with this keyboard and trackpad in that regard.īluetooth means it can pair with other devices even if they can't sit in the hinges which is cool if you need some addiitional distance for an HTPC or maybe you just want to type using the keyboard with your phone.Ĭolor - If you have OCD, this will drive you slightly insane. Keys and Mouse are responsive - Lag really isn't an issue. Matches the surface in style for the most part. I was pissed.įeels premium - Nice solid metal feel to it with some heft. Lost a surface pro 3 to this problem in the middle of a classroom. Lapability - Super nice to be able to type without risk of the surface pro flipping over and shattering. If you can score the new model, then it may perhaps avoid some of these issues. That being said, there are some key takeaways on the old model I have. I always hated that I couldn't find decent reviews of the damn thing. Absolutely ruined it once after knocking over a drink and still replaced it despite the cost because I like to have the option to use my Surface on my lap without dropping.
