To use it with the most worthless OS in the world. Windoze users are idiots.

I built a fully-custom Meletrix Zoom75 for less than that, and my keyboard is a work of art that is fully modular and infinitely repairable.

There is NO WAY anyone should pay more than $50 for this so-called "Pro" keyboard.

QuoteThe Surface Pro Flex keyboard does compensate for the $450 price with a CoPilot button to launch the AI and vibrating, hapatic touchpad.

This actually made me laugh out loud.

It's got a new shortcut button. Groundbreaking stuff.

Also, hapatic is not a word - it's haptic (or hepatic if your liver somehow has anything to do with this thing).

Wow... $450 for bluetooth and an AI key... microsoft is really stuck on their self importance it would seem... but in all that they still can't make an option for their keyboard that doesn't use that Alcantara cloth material that stains and collects sand in many environments. Hell, I would be happy if they just made a clip on leather cover that didn't have a keyboard and wasn't a grit magnet.

Which means, that Microsoft does not expect to outrage anyone with such pricetag. They simply expect that sticking some fake "A.I." branding to every possible product would compel people to pay 10x the price they are worth.

Cheaper than Apple. You can still buy a good and cheaper alternative though. Or use your existing BT keyboard without Copi(um)lot key.

That is an outrageous pricetag. What on earth are they thinking?

Microsoft has launched the $450 Surface Pro Flex wireless keyboard for the Surface Pro 8, 9, 10, and 11. The Bluetooth LE keyboard runs up to 41 hours per charge and adds a vibrating, hapatic touchpad as well as a CoPilot AI key. The Pro Flex keyboard does not come with the optional Surface Slim Pen 2, but can charge one when docked.
