Microsoft Surface Pro 12 in Keyboard - Slim Bluetooth Backlit

Our review of the Microsoft Surface Pro 12 in Keyboard from Foeytaody finds a slim, travel-ready alternative for Surface Pro 12 owners who want laptop-style typing and a large precision trackpad without added bulk. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a full multi-touch trackpad and a 7-color backlit keyset in a package that weighs less than a pound, making it easy to carry between meetings or on flights. It pairs wirelessly, wakes reliably, and offers long battery life when backlight is off, which keeps it useful for extended mobile work sessions.

Key Features

• Slim, lightweight build: The keyboard is ultra-thin and scratch-resistant, weighing about 0.82lb so it slips into a bag for travel without adding noticeable bulk.
• 7-color backlit keys: You get seven color options plus three brightness levels to type comfortably in low light and personalize the look.
• Long battery life: With up to 100 hours of use when the backlight is off and quick Type-C charging in under three hours, it supports extended use between charges.
• Large precision trackpad: A spacious multi-touch trackpad supports 12 gestures for swipe, tap, pinch and scroll, which improves navigation and productivity.
• Flexible hinge and stability: The 360 dynamic hinge adjusts to many angles for typing or drawing, and the internal web structure gives a steady platform on laps or desks.
• Wireless convenience: Bluetooth pairing is simple, auto-reconnects after initial setup, and maintains a connection up to about 33ft for untethered typing.

Who It's For

This keyboard is best for Surface Pro 12 in owners who need a compact, travel-ready typing solution with a large touchpad and backlit keys for varied lighting conditions. It suits students, mobile professionals, and creatives who switch between typing and tablet modes and want the freedom of a magnetic, detachable keyboard.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need a mechanical key feel, extensive programmable keys, or official first-party warranties tied to their tablet brand; this product focuses on slim portability, touchpad precision, and battery life rather than mechanical switches or extensive customization software.
