Excellent Keyboard

I have both versions of this keyboard, and love the quality and feel. This version has a wired & BT wireless connection which is really nice. I needed wired for my work computer. Still wish they made a non-bluetooth wireless version. This is a very nice sleek keyboard, taking up minimal desk space. It's very solid and responds well. The really cool feature on this keyboard is the built in fingerprint scanner. It works extremely well and is fast and very reliable. What's really nice is that the scanner is built into a key, so you wouldn't even know it was there unless you knew about it. Great job Microsoft! Best keyboard on the market without a doubt. Nothing is even close.
I was hoping I could use the fingerprint scanner on conventional applications and websites, but the software around the keyboard doesn't exist yet. For now I use it for MS apps, which are few and far between, and login. I run this keyboard on Windows 10, and the other version of this keyboard on Linux.
Pleased with my purchase overall. Most excellent keyboard!

It's fat and a little homely, and shaped more like a ball than a mouse. That being said, it works well for me. If you are an everyday all day user of a computer, and you feel any wrist strain from a more conventional mouse, this alleviates the problem. I've had this mouse for over a year now. My hand used to cramp up from mousing, especially in my wrist and upper hand. My fingers would also feel a bit trembly after mousing all day, especially along the lower part of my thumb. The fat ball shape fits your hand like a glove, and is a natural feel. Your hand feels perfectly at rest on it. Yes, people in my office laugh a little when they see it sitting on my desk, but I think I get the last laugh at the end of the day. They say things like, "what the heck is that?"
Time is the real test of any product, and after more than a year, I'm thanking myself for buying it.
The mouse was worth every dime. Responds well too, which is to be expected with a quality product from Microsoft. I love it.

Create emails and documents with this Microsoft Surface keyboard. The Bluetooth capability lets you connect wirelessly to your computer within a 50-foot range for greater movement, and the optimized feedback lets you depress the keys silently so you won’t disturb others. This Microsoft Surface keyboard has full-sized keys for comfortable, accurate typing.
Great Job Microsoft!

I've had it for about 2 months now, running on a Linux machine. Linux picked up nearly all the specialty keys, which I didn't expect. The keyboard itself has a fantastic feel to it. The keys snap well, if you know what I mean. It just types well. The quality of the keyboard is very nice. It just feels good to use. It's nice spacing between the keys, so i find myself making fewer errors in typing. Low profile keys might have something to do with it as well. It's a very sleek keyboard with a tight design taking up as little desk space as possible but still having a great full size keyboard. No extra space wasted. Over all, A+. If I had any complaints it might be the contrast of the keys. I'm not a pure typist and never have been. I hunt and peck at a high rate of speed and need to find my spot frequently from sight (80 words a minute maybe???) There is room for a little improvement if they keep going with this product line. Maybe more battery capacity so they can add lighted keys? It would also be nice if they made a non bluetooth wireless model with a dongle, which I would have opted for more than likely. Never a serious fan of bluetooth devices in general, even though I've had 0 problems with this particular device. Wales up a little slowly on boot maybe. I think they'd do themselves a favor and sell a lot more of these things. It's truly the best PC keyboard on the market, hands down. The only one that comes close in my opinion is the Logitech solar powered keyboard, but that's nice in a different kind of way. The Microsoft Surface keyboard is pure elegance with a high quality build. Many of us are willing to pay more for quality. Hats off to you Microsoft.

Do not take it outdoors. I've seen a lot of reviews where these Bluetooth drones just go up up and away. Bluetooth is for short range communication (50 ft +/-) . Any interference will cause problems, and as we all should know, Bluetooth is not perfect. It's great for audio devices, but those little hickups we hear in the music don't bode well for live control of a remote device.
That said, this is a very cool little indoor drone. You will need a newer cell phone with Bluetooth 4.0. Even then you may have limited options. Works flawlessly on my Windows Surface Pro, but couldn't get it to connect on my Windows cell phone. Worked fine on my wifes Samsung S6.
If you've ever flown a helicopter, this is way easier and much more fun. You set it on the ground, tap a launch button, and it pops up about a meter and hovers. From their you can move it around in any direction. You can move up higher, or down lower as well. When you're moving forward if you let off the control, it stops and hovers. Pretty cool the way they have it programmed to stopped to. It basically pulls a reverse thrust in the opposite direction.
This is exactly what I hoped it would be like.
Seems fairly durable, Have had a few miscommunications that caused it to bash into a couple of walls. It's so stable though, crashes in the conventional sense are pretty rare. It's designed to cut power when it hits something.
You will want an external charger and additional batteries. I would recommend at least 3 batteries for continued fun. I still have one battery, but will pick some up on Amazon.

If you have an older TV with no streaming capabilities (Netflix, etc,) what-so-ever, this will probably work for you. Beyond that, I found Chromecast is severely lacking, and it just felt way too beta. I returned it after trying it for a few days. I think this product is honestly a few years away, and by the time they figure what it needs, it'll be obsolete. I personally wouldn't waste the money, unless you really need it to stream some kind of TV app you've subscribed to. Realistically, most TV's have built in apps now-a-days, or there's a game console in your house that would do the exact same thing as the Chromecast, only better.

I've had my Surface Pro 3 for about 3 weeks now, and I absolutely love it. Makes an iPad feel like a child's toy (we have 2 in our family). I just can't say enough good about the Surface. Fast, reliable, full OS with a USB port, full monitor capability, keyboard is awesome, micro SD card expansion. It is truly did replace my laptop and desktop. Don;t know how I lived without it. Oh, and the pen is simply amazing.

Does Chromecast work with a Digiland tablet?
Meaning streaming videos from the internet, no just playing stored files.
Yes it should. That is a google based tablet, and the chromecast software should download from the store for free.

i need an adaptor to go from my sony blue-ray dvd player to my headset how can this be done ?
Sounds to me like you need to go from the TV to the headphones, not from the blueray player. Once the HDMI cable is used on the blueray, I'm pretty sure all sound diverts to HDMI cable from the blueray.

Chromecast interaction with Tablet
I'm having difficulty connecting my tablet to Chromecast. I'm trying to run a PowerPoint presentation.
Not sure you can do it. You'd need an app specifically design to use Chromecast. I could be wrong, but I don;t think google docs works with Chromecast. If your tablet is a Surface, you'd be better off returning the Chromecast and purchasing the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter.

HDMI with female ports for audio R-L
My TV has 2 female ports in the HDMI. Is there any cable with male port in one side and in the other side,a USB connector for the Chromecast
No. The USB on the Chromecast is for power. If your TV does not possess a USB port, then you'll need a wall outlet for the USB to plug into. Any phone power adapter should work. You can also buy a power strip with USB ports on it. You may need a USB extension cord to reach the power strip though.
