mobee Type Cover for Surface Pro - Bluetooth Slim Backlit Keyboard

In this review the mobee Type Cover is judged as a budget-friendly Bluetooth keyboard for Surface Pro users who need a slim, portable typing solution. The single biggest reason to buy is its wireless Bluetooth pairing and compact, quiet typing layout that reconnects automatically when opened, making it convenient for commuters and students who want a detachable keyboard without relying on the Surface magnetic connector. It is best read as an aftermarket alternative that prioritizes portability and value over premium materials or long battery endurance.

Key Features

• Bluetooth connection: Pair once and the keyboard will reconnect to the Surface automatically when opened, eliminating repeated setup for day-to-day use.
• Type-C charging: Fast charging via a Type-C port recharges the keyboard independently so it does not draw power from the Surface device.
• Slim portability: The ultra slim profile and simple compact layout make the keyboard easy to carry in a bag and comfortable for extended typing sessions on the go.
• Multi-touch trackpad: An integrated multi-touch trackpad provides familiar laptop-style navigation without needing a separate mouse.
• Backlit keys: Backlit keys help when working in low light and make the keyboard usable in more environments.
• Package and support: The keyboard ships with a USB charging cable, user manual, and a 12-month warranty with responsive support.

Who It's For

The mobee Type Cover suits Surface Pro 7+/7/6/5/4/3 owners who want an inexpensive, lightweight Bluetooth keyboard with a trackpad for general productivity, email and note-taking. It is particularly useful for students, commuters, and anyone who prefers a detachable cover that does not rely on the Surface magnetic connector and can be charged separately.

Users who need premium build materials, long battery life, or guaranteed compatibility with other Surface models should look elsewhere; the product is explicitly designed for the listed Surface Pro generations and some customers noted mixed long-term quality and battery longevity.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The mobee Type Cover is a sensible value pick for Surface Pro users who prioritize portability, a Bluetooth connection, and a built-in trackpad without paying for OEM pricing.
