Now that we've walked around the hardware and viewed the image gallery of the product, here are a few reasons I am making the move from the Surface Type Cover to the Brydge 12.3 Pro Plus. With the coronavirus and other concerns about bacteria and viruses, it's nice to see the keyboard you pound on all day is not contributing to the spread of these. One new feature of the keyboard is the active anti-microbial ingredient that inhibits the growth of microorganisms. A single button on the top rows controls backlighting, just like the Surface Type Cover keyboard. There are also three levels of backlighting with a single white LED color. These products are a reflection of the great things that happen when we work collaboratively to design something natively for Surface devices and is a true testament to why we have this program. Brydge increases the reach of the Surface Pro and Go by offering customers the choice to use the device in a way that fits best with their lifestyle. The Designed for Surface program was created with the goal to drive high quality partner products that enhance the user's experience with the Surface range. Patrick Mendenall, Director, Designed for Surface program stated: It was great to hear that these keyboards were designed in partnership with Microsoft through its Designed for Surface Program. The keyboard layout nearly identical to my Type Cover keyboard with a few always used keys being a bit larger (caps, left shift, tab, Ctrl, Fn), better separation of the arrow keys, a dedicated insert key, and the ability to toggle the touchpad on and off. Full gesture control is provided by the touchpad with two, three, and four finger gestures performing flawlessly. Brydge advertises the touchpad as the world's first Bluetooth precision touchpad for Windows. The touchpad is a whopping 70% larger than the one on the Brydge 12.3 keyboard and after using this new one for just a couple of days I really question how I got by with that small one before. I have a black Surface Pro 6 and the black Brydge 12.3 Pro Plus matches as if they were made for each other, and they were. When you rest your Surface Pro display onto the keyboard, everything matches up perfectly with similar design elements and colors to match. The hinges are designed to fit down into the top of the keyboard perfectly too. I regularly lifted up my Surface Pro 6 and the keyboard stayed attached without any issues. The hinges are larger than they were on the older 12.3 keyboard and are designed to hold the Surface Pro securely. The keyboard is constructed of aluminum on the bottom and four sides with matte plastic on the top, along with the glass trackpad. There are four rubber feet on the bottom with rubber also positioned on the hinge so that you always have a good grip on a table even when rotating through the 180 degrees that the keyboard supports. The USB-C port is on the right side about a quarter of the way back from the front. Maybe I'll be able to report back on Twitter in a few months when I have to charge it up again. Obviously, I cannot provide feedback on battery life since I've only been using the keyboard for about 10 days. The new Brydge 12.3 Pro Plus is available for $149.99 and offers many improvements over the previous Brydge 12.3 keyboard I tested out with a Surface Pro 4 in 2017.Īlso: First look: Surface Pro 7 follows a familiar path Hardwareīrydge advertises up to six months of battery life for the Brydge 12.3 Pro Plus, but the first thing I did after opening up the retail package was connect the USB-C cable and charge it up to 100%. Brydge recently announced its latest Brydge 12.3 Pro Plus keyboard for Surface Pro 4, 5, 6, and 7 computers. While these are comfortable keyboards, there are limitations too.
