mobee Type Cover for Surface Pro - Slim Bluetooth Keyboard

In this review the mobee Type Cover for Surface Pro is evaluated as a low-cost Bluetooth alternative to factory magnetic covers. The bottom line: it works well for users who want a slim, portable keyboard with a multi-touch trackpad and backlit keys without relying on the Surface's magnetic connector. The cover pairs once over Bluetooth and reconnects automatically when opened, and it charges via a Type-C cable rather than drawing power from the tablet, which is the single biggest reason to consider it for daily mobile typing.

Key Features

• Bluetooth connection: Pair once over Bluetooth and the keyboard will automatically reconnect when you open it, offering convenience without magnetic contacts.
• Type-C charging: Fast charging through a Type-C port keeps the tablet battery untouched and lets you recharge the keyboard independently.
• Multi-touch trackpad: A responsive trackpad supports standard gestures and makes the Surface behave more like a laptop for cursor-driven tasks.
• Portable slim design: The ultra-slim layout is lightweight and easy to carry, making it suitable for commuters and students who need a compact typing surface.
• Backlit keys: Built-in backlighting helps typing in low light and improves visibility for evening work sessions.
• Package and support: The box includes a USB charging cable, user manual and a 12-month warranty with friendly support and a 12-hour response promise.

Who It's For

The mobee Type Cover is best for Surface Pro 7+, Pro 7, Pro 6, Pro 5, Pro 4 and Pro 3 owners who want an affordable aftermarket keyboard that adds a backlit typing layer and a trackpad without depending on the tablet's magnetic connector. It suits frequent travelers, students, and anyone who values a separate chargeable keyboard so tablet battery is preserved.

Users who need full OEM accessory integration, long battery life under heavy daily use, or guaranteed fit for other Surface models outside the listed compatibility should look elsewhere or consider official covers; some customers reported mixed feedback on long-term durability and battery endurance.
