mobee Type Cover for Surface Pro Series - Slim Backlit Bluetooth

In this review the mobee Type Cover is evaluated as a budget-friendly aftermarket keyboard for Surface Pro tablets that pairs by Bluetooth and adds a backlit typing surface without relying on the Surface's magnetic connector. For users who want a lightweight, portable typing solution with independent USB-C charging, this keyboard delivers simple connectivity and a compact layout. It is best suited to occasional to moderate typists who need an affordable replacement or spare cover rather than professionals demanding long battery life or OEM-level build quality.

Key Features

• Bluetooth pairing: Connects via Bluetooth and remembers the pairing so the keyboard will reconnect automatically when opened, avoiding magnetic contact dependence.
• USB-C fast charging: Charges through a Type-C port so the keyboard recharges independently and does not draw power from the Surface device.
• Backlit keys: Red with backlit keys allow typing in low light and improve visibility for casual evening work.
• Slim, portable design: The ultra slim cover keeps the overall package light and easy to carry with the Surface for travel or commuting.
• Compact keyboard layout: Quiet and comfortable key action in a simplified layout that balances size and usability for tablet-based typing.
• Package and support: Ships with a USB charging cable, user manual and a 12-month warranty with responsive customer support.

Who It's For

The mobee Type Cover is aimed at Surface Pro owners who want an inexpensive, portable Bluetooth keyboard that restores full laptop-like typing without using the Surface magnetic connector. It fits users who value independent charging via USB-C and a slim, travel-ready cover for intermittent writing, email and light productivity.

Professionals who rely on extended battery life, highly durable build or perfect OEM key feel should look elsewhere, as some customers report mixed feedback on long-term quality and battery run time. Also confirm compatibility with listed Surface Pro generations before buying.
