SURFACE PRO KEYBOARD

Fintie’s version of the Surface Pro Type Cover has backlit keys that light up in seven different colors and at two brightness levels. It packs a built-in 750 mAh battery to help support the backlight and Bluetooth, and the layout of the keyboard is designed to be a bit more spaced out than Microsoft’s keyboard, according to the manufacturer. It also connects via Bluetooth wirelessly, so it doesn’t have to connect physically to your Surface Pro. It tops our list of best Surface Pro keyboards on a budget.

Thankfully, a group of third-party manufacturers stepped in to offer some more wallet-friendly options. That means you can get one of the best Surface Pro keyboards for your 2-in-1 that’s much more affordable, whether it’s the new Surface Pro 7 or a Pro from a few years ago.

These are our favorite Pro keyboard alternatives to Microsoft’s Type Covers. (Note: The Surface Pro keyboards featured here will not work with the new Surface Pro X.)
