is this just a universal bluetooth keyboard or does it actually ONLY work with the surface line? will my asus windows 8 me400c take it?

I bought this for my daughter. I'll forward the original email to her, and we'll see if it goes through.

I have a surface but all you have to do is turn on the bluetooth so yours should be able to work fine if it takes bluetooth.

It is universal but the size of your asus might or might not match the size of the keyboard. Make sure the dimensions of your tablet matches that of the surface as it is actually made to fit a surface.

Bluetooth is a spec (802.15, just like WiFi is 802.11), so anything that claims to be bluetooth must adhere to the spec. Things that require a proprietary dongle usually advertise as 'wireless'. Anyway, I have the keyboard; and I can confirm that it works with standard bluetooth - I've used it on my tablet, phone and computer.

I had to run it a couple of times but I was able to get it to work on Surface Pro 3 which mine has Windows 8.1 Pro. I used the Charm Menu &gt; Change PC Settings &gt; PC and devices &gt; Bluetooth - proceeded to add / pair from there. Rebooted and it took.

This is not Bluetooth. You plug it in the computer and put the necessary piece into the tablet. You turn on your tablet and no more usb chord. Yes it works with Windows 8. I use it on Windows 8.

I use it with my Surface Pro 2. I had to download software to run it but it works just fine.

I've been using it since I purchased it with windows 8 and I have had no issues whatsoever. The software and keyboard itself work completely fine as far as I can tell! Hope this helps :)

It should work just fine as soon as it finds the Bluetooth connection. It's a great keyboard, you'll enjoy it if you get it.

I have a Surface pro and keyboard works fine. You might try to install MS upgrades if any. The ARM processor is very different than the Intel which I have.........

Yes, this keyboard is compatible with a Surface. However, it will use your one USB port. You can always get a USB hub if you need more ports.

Microsoft has it's own technology for wireless keyboards. It's called BlueTrack. They come with a dongle that you put in a USB port on your computer.I misread it many, many times before realizing that it wasn't the same as BlueTooth.

No it is just a bare keyboard - It does work with everything Bluetooth - Cell Phones tablets and laptops its hard to find anything for this price.

It will work fine with Windows 8 (RT or standard), including the Microsoft Surface (RT and Pro) and basically anything that will accept a standard mouse.The programmable software also works in Windows 8, but not the RT version.

It should work with Windows 8 just fine. It works well with Windows 7. As long as the "Surface" has USB ports it should work just fine.

Good Afternoon,I can't answer your question specifically but it works on all my PC's and laptop. I can't see why it wouldn't work on a Surface. To bad you can't answer me. I would like to know about your surface. How do you like it? And what specs. did you end up with?

It works with any computer that supports standard USB keyboards. I'm using it on a Dell laptop and a home-build Windows 7 PC.

I use a USB hub, and a wireless mouse and keyboard. Any USB keyboard and mouse should work, but I am not sure if a combined USB unit such as those sold by Microsoft. I use a Wii keyboard made by Logitech, we had, and it works. I use a Microsoft laptop mose. Again, I had it and it worked. I did not have to install anything; they just worked. It does have Bluetooth capacity, but I have never tried it for a keyboard and the like. Other Android devices have worked out of the box. I think it should work that way as well.
