Does this connect like the original Microsoft thin fabric keyboard? Also is this keyboard thicker? And finally is the top part plastic? Thanks

This keybord connects by a magnet. Just inclose it to tablet and it clics. See rewiews on YouTube.i believe keybord thicknes is around 3mm. Top part is made from some kind of material almost like a velvet.

I don't know what the thin fabric keyboard is, but this attaches magnetically. It is thicker than the touch keyboard and heavier and the keyboard top is plastic. It is a nice keyboard and easy to work with.

Yes to all of your questions. This is very slightly thicker, connects just like the "original," and the top is plastic (keys and trackpad) and rubber (probably rubber coated plastic) everywhere else. The back of the keyboard has a grey fabric that provides some friction to keep the keyboard/Surface from sliding around on a smooth surface.

Yes it connects in the same way. Magnets have great holding strength. The keyboard is about 50% thicker. By "top part" I assume you mean the surface that the keys are on. Yes the top is plastic. It is exactly like a good quality laptop keyboard. It is much nicer to use than the touch keyboard. Hope this helps.

The keyboard is plastic and is very nice. Not sure if this one fits ipad 2. But there should be one like this for the ipad 2 as i got one for my daughters last year

The new one is thinner than the one I have and I think thinner than the one it was designed for. Don't think it was designed to accommodate a keyboard. Can't trust manufacturer. Because they lied to me on the phone, I ordered two (they said the problem with the first one was unique) and I had to return both. .

Hey Joan-This keyboard is the shape and structure of the CLASSIC design. NOT flat. Has the look and feel of the older design keyboard, yet it's still Bluetooth. Does this help you in your decision? {Grace & Peace} Russ

Yes, it simply connects with bluetooth. However this keyboard is apple-centric. For example, the "delete" key erases characters to the left of the cursor. To erase characters to the right of the cursor you need to press fn-Del, which is on the very top right with the function keys. You may find other more significant annoyances connecting to microsoft - I use it for my android phone and it works fine. M

The original keyboard was 58221; that's the P/N on the bottom one I still have in service, which I bought maybe 20 years ago. They haven't been manufactured in a long time, and I was unable to find a used one on the internet. The entire board layout was larger than the MS replacement I also use. The ten keys between the letter keys and the number pad were, in the first model, laid our more intuitively. But any MS ergonomic keyboard is vastly easier to use than any rectangular model. And if it feels a little strange at first, after a couple of days it won't. And it's far less stressful on hands and arms.

I don't know what the other one is like. This one has 2 USB ports in the keyboard. If the less expensive one does not, that is probably what the 2.0 means.

The keyboard is very thin! I love it! I have purchased 2 of these, the charge last a long time maybe a month or so! Perfect fit to my iPad mini

The purple one is like mine with 5 rows of keys and the wrist rest part BELOW the space bar. It is the true representation. The black one in the photo appears to have been assembled with the keyboard upside down. Strange!

the plastic cover is black so it goes across any keyboard with black keys without looking like a cover ... it does take a bit to get used to typing on the keys, but once you get used to the slightly different touch it's fine - especially in light of the fact that it protects keyboard from random bits ... and I take the cover off to rinse it off with soap in the sink periodically

No this is not a slim keyboard. It is just like a standard keyboard with no frills, but I had trouble with the computer from the moment I plugged it in. Problems stopped the moment I took it off.

no it has a rubber fell to it, I don't think the smooth plastic would allow for much flexibility with the keys. But the cover is secure enough that it doesn't slide all around the keyboard. hope this helps!

Plastic. But it feels nice. It's great for inputting what you need without having a big keyboard taking up space.

Personally YES, there are better keyboards out there. I purchased this keyboard for my Note 10.1 and it worked once, after that it did not stay charged and would not connect. I do not recommend this keyboard. It is affordable, but it is better to pay more for one that will actually work.

If you are referring to the keyboard that I bought from amazon some time ago, it works great. Have had it for some time and use it all time.

No, it is much thinner than the first Air. This keyboard is not a good example of bluetooth. many times keys do not work for a while, etc. there are many problems with it. Please read reviews before spending the money. I have purchased two more for less than half the price that work perfetly.
