TECURS Bluetooth Keyboard for Surface Pro 7/7+/6/5/4/3 - Backlit

In this review the TECURS Bluetooth Keyboard is evaluated as a purpose-built replacement keyboard for the 12.3 in Surface Pro line. The bottom line: this keyboard is best for Surface Pro 7, Pro 7+, Pro 6, Pro 5, Pro 4 and Pro 3 owners who want a slim, rechargeable type cover with a backlit keyboard and a built-in trackpad; its biggest selling point is the combination of long battery life and a responsive touchpad in a compact, manual Bluetooth design. This review focuses on fit, battery, connection method, backlight performance and daily typing comfort.

Key Features

• Model compatibility: Designed specifically for the 12.3 in Surface Pro 7, Pro 7+, Pro 6, Pro 5, Pro 4 and Pro 3 so users get a physical fit and layout that matches those tablets.
• Bluetooth manual pairing: Uses manual Bluetooth pairing via the F+C key sequence so it can pair to the tablet without relying on magnetic connectors.
• Rechargeable battery: Charges fully in 2-3 hours with the included cable and delivers up to about 50 hours of continuous operation on a single charge for extended use between charges.
• 7-color backlight: Offers seven LED color options with three brightness levels so typing in low-light conditions is clearer and customizable.
• Responsive trackpad: Built-in trackpad supports multi-touch gestures and zooming for precise cursor control comparable to a small mouse substitute.
• Sleep and wake: Supports sleep and wake when connected by Bluetooth, conserving power and making it quick to resume work.

Who It's For

The TECURS keyboard is for Surface Pro 7 and earlier 12.3 in owners who need a thin, portable type cover that restores laptop-style typing and trackpad control. It suits students, professionals and travelers who value backlighting and long battery life over magnetic automatic docking.

It is not for owners of Surface models with 13 in screens or newer model series that use magnetic keyboard connection or different connectors; those users should look for a keyboard specified for their exact model because this product requires manual Bluetooth pairing and will not attach magnetically.

Our Verdict

The TECURS Bluetooth Keyboard is a practical, value-oriented option for owners of the 12.3 in Surface Pro 7 family who need a thin, rechargeable type cover with backlighting and a capable trackpad.
