• Professionals who use Slim Pen 2 and want integrated charging
• Mobile work where wireless Bluetooth connection is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This keyboard is tailored to Surface devices and may not provide full functionality or ideal fit with non-Surface tablets or laptops. If you require a wired connection, proprietary ports, or extremely long-range wireless operation beyond typical Bluetooth LE limits, this model may not meet those needs.
