Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Surface Keyboard work with a Mac?

Yes. Microsoft lists compatibility with macOS 10.10.5, 10.11.1 and 10.11.4. Newer macOS releases are not named in the spec sheet, so check the product listing for current OS support.

How long does the battery last?

Microsoft rates the battery for a full year of use. There is no rechargeable cell listed, so plan on replacing the batteries rather than plugging it in.

Does it need a USB receiver or dongle?

No. It connects over Bluetooth 4.0 on the 2.4GHz band, so your host device must support Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. That leaves your USB and USB-C ports free.

How durable are the keys?

The multimedia keys are rated at 500,000 actuations per key, and Microsoft tuned the keys for optimized feedback and return force rather than a light, hollow press.

Can I use it with a phone or tablet?

Yes. Listed support covers Microsoft Windows 10 phone and Android 4.4.2 through 5.0, alongside Windows 10, 8.1 and 8 on the desktop side.

Is it well reviewed?
