How does the keyboard connect to the Surface
628225
one edge has a series of connectors and a magnetic strip. The key board matches a place on the Surface ... the two connect and hold rather well.

There is a magnetic lock in the center of the back of the keyboard that connects to the same on the tablet.

there are metal "teeth" (male) on the flap that folds that magnetically clicks into the tablet (female).

As far as I know,yes it's for the Surface. The connection for the keyboard is magnetic and it will only attach to the opening of a surface tablet, not an ipad.

I don't own a surface pro 2. However, from what I understand, the keyboards are able to connect to any Surface. For instance, at the moment I own the Surface RT (1), but for my keyboard, I own a TypeCover 2. They also work great together with no problems. Hope this helps at least a little.

It is a port. Pool the kneeboarding from the case. The port is on the right side of the keyboard.

Keyboard connects via Bluetooth, Folio has a sticking pad inside, press the back of the tablet on it, to fix.

USB is just for charging. Open Bluetooth on computer, press connect button on keyboard and they board should appear in the Bluetooth options, you then type a code into the keyboard and it connects.

It would depend on the size. My Surface works if I use the onscreen keyboard and not the attachable one. An IPOD would probably work. Of course you are working to the side and not in front of you.

No, the keyboard is an option you purchase with your Surface. If you have a Surface without a keyboard, I recommend visiting a Microsoft store so you can see if you like the Touch or Type keyboard better.

I have no clue, however, I do know you need an adapter to connect it. Mine came with it. After that, its the same as any other keyboard I've used.

I have a regular (separate) keyboard that attaches to the screen - it woks with my setup. I do not have Surface Pro, so I do not know what the difference would be between the "standard" Surface and Pro.

It's a little touchy with USB keyboards. Some work, some don't, and I haven't found one that works with all apps. If you have a keyboard you want to connect, try using the front USB port.

You have two différent connectors. One for surface and surface 2, the other one for surface pro and surface pro 2. This one is for surface and surface 2.

Looking online it appears that you will require an adapter purchased from MSft. (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surfwinrt-surfgetstart/does-surface-rt-comes-with-a-mini-hdmi-or-hdmi/19de2657-5ce5-453d-944d-57e9829fe23c?msgId=29ff7e06-2519-44bd-b4a8-739b4c8ca610) As for keyboard I've had good success with the Logitech K400 series. The fob plugs into a usb slot and the keyboard works easily from 10-12 feet away (that's the furthest I've need it to work). Check with MSft on an adapter and then ask them whether the adapter uses a normal or mini hdmi cable and buy that cable online.

Via Bluetooth. You charge it, turn it on then goto settings and turn on Bluetooth. Press the connect button on the keyboard and it will do the rest. No hard wiring.

This happened to me once. I just unclicked it from the surface nd reattached it than it worked. I guess it didn't connect correctly when I tried the first time and haven't had any problems since..it may also just be a defective one. Hope you get it fixed!

It needs to be connectecd via bluetooth. There is a USB Bluetooth Adapter included with the keyboard, so you do not need to buy a separate one.
