XIWMIX Keyboard for Surface Pro - Ultra-Slim Backlit Bluetooth

In this review of the XIWMIX Keyboard for Surface Pro tablets, the bottom line is simple: it is a travel-ready type cover built for Surface Pro 7/7+/6/5/4 and Pro 3 users who want a lightweight, battery-efficient Bluetooth keyboard with a responsive touchpad and multicolor backlight. The reviewer found the keyboard useful for on-the-go productivity thanks to its 11.6 oz weight, magnetic strip that provides two typing angles, and a long rechargeable battery life that supports up to 35 hours of continuous use or about 100 days standby. This keyboard is best when paired carefully to a matching Surface model and used in mobile workflows.

Key Features

• Wide Compatibility: Works with Surface Pro 7/7+/6/5/4 (12.3 in) and Pro 3 (12 in), making it a direct replacement for several Surface Pro covers when you match the model before order.
• 7-Color LED Backlit: Seven backlight colors and three brightness levels let you type comfortably in dim light while saving battery when lower brightness is selected.
• Bluetooth 5.0 Connection: Bluetooth 5.0 provides a stable wireless link and a claimed 10 m range with Fn+Z pairing for quick setup.
• Multi-Gesture Touchpad: The built-in touchpad supports Fn+Space toggling and 12 gestures with four-finger control for laptop-like navigation on a Surface Pro.
• Lightweight, Travel-Ready Design: At roughly 11.6 oz and a slim profile, the keyboard easily slides into a bag and is intended for users who leave a laptop behind.
• Rechargeable Battery: A rechargeable battery delivers extended continuous use and a long standby period, and charging is via the supplied type C cable.

Who It's For

The XIWMIX keyboard is aimed at Surface Pro owners who need a lightweight, affordable replacement or spare type cover for travel, lectures, or remote work and who value a backlit keyboard and multitouch trackpad over a premium keyboard feel. It is also a good fit for users who want a Bluetooth 5.0 connection and magnetic mounting with adjustable angles.

It is less suitable for users who require a full-size mechanical feel, detachable official Surface keyboards with pogo pins, or an integrated Surface Pen garage. Buyers should confirm their Surface Pro model before ordering to ensure compatibility.
