The 18.11 x 9.02 inch keyboard weighs 2.23 lbs and has a battery life of up to 12 months for the preinstalled AAA alkalines. It is lined with Alcantara fabric from Italy and curved to provide a comfortable surface for your palms to rest.

Here is more about the product:

  • QWERTY key life: 10,000,000 actuations per key
  • Hot key life: 500,000 actuations per key
  • Encryption features: 128bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
  • Typing speed: 200 characters per minute

  • Multimedia key features: Mute, Volume-, Volume+, Pause/Play, Page-, Page+
  • Multimedia key life: 500,000 actuations per key

For some, the lack of backlit keys might be a deal breaker which is a feature you’d expect in the $129.99 price tag. You can pre-order the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard as of today on Microsoft Store but it won’t be available until November 10.
