Bluetooth Type Cover for Surface Pro 7+ / 7 / 6 / 5 - Black Backlit

In this review of the mobee Bluetooth Type Cover for Surface Pro 7+ / 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3, the bottom line is practical: it is a portable, budget-friendly aftermarket keyboard for Surface Pro users who want wireless connectivity and a slim, backlit typing surface. The reviewer found it best for travelers or students who need a lightweight alternative to the official magnetic covers, and points out the single biggest reason to buy is the Bluetooth pairing that reconnects automatically when opened, avoiding reliance on the Surface magnetic connector.

Key Features

• Bluetooth connection: Pairs once and will automatically reconnect to the Surface when opened, offering true wireless convenience without magnetic contact.
• Type-C charging: Charges quickly via a USB Type-C port so the keyboard does not draw power from the Surface itself, keeping tablet battery available.
• Backlit keys: Illuminated keys make it usable in low light and add a premium feel for evening or dim workspaces.
• Slim, portable design: A compact layout and thin profile keep the keyboard easy to carry with a Surface tablet for commuting or travel.
• Multi-touch trackpad: Includes a multi-touch trackpad that enables laptop-like navigation without extra peripherals.
• Included support: The package ships with a USB charging cable, user manual, and a 12-month warranty with responsive support.

Who It's For

This keyboard is aimed at Surface Pro owners who need an inexpensive, lightweight alternative to OEM type covers and who value Bluetooth pairing and a backlit typing experience. It is particularly useful for students, frequent travelers, and anyone who prefers a wireless attachment that does not rely on the Surface magnetic connector.

It is less suitable for users who require full official accessory integration, hinge-based magnetic attachment, or long battery endurance; several customers noted mixed impressions of build longevity and battery life, so power users who need heavy daily typing without recharging should consider higher-end or OEM options.
