Type Cover for Microsoft Surface Pro 13 in - Bluetooth Backlit

In this review the mobee Type Cover for Microsoft Surface Pro 13 in is evaluated as a portable alternative to the factory keyboard for users of the latest Surface Pro models. The bottom line: it is best for Surface Pro 13 in (11th Edition 2025) and recent Pro models that need a slim, wireless cover with a built-in trackpad and pen holder, offering a clear typing upgrade and long battery life compared with generic Bluetooth folios.

Key Features

• Wide compatibility: Works with Surface Pro 13 in (11th Edition 2025), Pro 11 (2024), Pro 10 (2024), Pro 9, Pro 8 and Pro X so buyers of recent Surface tablets can expect a fit that supports each model's dimensions.
• Bluetooth connection: Pairs via Bluetooth and reconnects automatically after initial setup, so users can work without relying on magnetic contacts.
• Backlit keys: Seven color backlight and three brightness levels improve low-light typing and add visual customization for different environments.
• USB-C charging: Fast Type-C charging keeps the keyboard powered independently and avoids draining the Surface battery while charging.
• Slim, portable design: The keyboard is thin and lightweight, making it easy to carry with a Surface for travel or commuting without adding bulk.
• Included extras: Ships with a USB charging cable and user manual, plus a pen holder and a 12-month warranty with responsive support.

Who It's For

This accessory is best for Surface owners who use one of the supported models and want a wireless Type Cover that keeps the tablet lightweight and mobile. It suits students, commuters, and professionals who prefer Bluetooth pairing and independent charging rather than magnetic contact keyboards.

It is not for owners of much older Surface Pro generations or Surface Go devices; those models are explicitly unsupported. Buyers who depend on the magnetic connector or need the keyboard to charge their Surface directly should look at other official accessories instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good build quality and comfortable typing layout praised by users for day-to-day use.
• Long battery life and USB-C fast charging that does not draw power from the Surface.
• Automatic Bluetooth reconnection provides a hassle-free workflow once paired.
• Backlit keys with color options add flexibility for low-light work.

Cons

• Some users report the backlight can be faint even at the brightest setting, so it may not satisfy everyone.
• Does not use the Surface magnetic contact, which may be a dealbreaker for those expecting that integration.
