It is a bit expensive, but both looks and feels very premium. Smooth edges and Aluminum body make the footprint quite small. The Keys don't jiggle or move around in the body. i actually wanted to type something to keep feeling the keys. The Keyboard does turn off to save power if you don't use it, reconnection is about 2-3secs. It's hard to explain how much more of a joy using a computer with a good keyboard is, and the Modern Keyboard gives you that feeling. The Keyboard is not backlit, but the keys reflect the screen even in a dim environment. The keyboard is not spill-proof.
The Fingerprint sensor works fine, sometimes it picks up your print up really quickly (like TouchID on iPhone) and other times it takes a longer press. One thing to note, it only sends the Print Data once the key is released, so holding your finger on the key (even when it registered fast) will not unlock the PC.
The Windows 10 buttons are really useful and intergrate nicely into the PC experience. The Calculator button and Clear buttons are clear examples of it's usefulness. i use the Notification and Overview button quite alot too. The Search button brings up Cortana in type mode. The Fn activation button is sticky (remains lit) so multiple Fn buttons can be pressed or to turn off special keys
The strange setup process means i couldn't set this up with a phone or something other than a Windows PC easily, so i didnt even try. It may not even be possible. I only had one issue during setup, but after i installed the latest Windows Updates it worked - There is also driver package you can download that fixes the no pop-up issue
I only wish there was a battery indicator or low battery notice on Windows somewhere to gauge it.
This Microsoft keyboard is just as slim, sleek, and the typing is nice and quiet just like that Apple keyboard. As a Graphic Designer it was killing me trying to use the Apple computer because of certain crucial keys being in the wrong place. I love that this keyboard has dedicated keys for things like Settings, Task View, Notifications, Show Desktop, Search, and even a dedicated Lock Screen button.
Of course the Fingerprint ID key is amazing too. It blows me away that they're able to get a fingerprint sensor built into a key like that. There's a little bit of a delay when using the Fingerprint ID key to unlock my device, and I actually think the face recognition is faster. I've actually been trying to cover my face a little bit so I can test the key before the camera recognizes me because often the face recognition unlocks my computer before I can press the key. But if I cover my face (testing this way in case some people don't have a built-in web cam), then when I press the key as soon as it says "Looking for you" it unlocks right away. I wasn't planning on using the Fingerprint ID key as my primary method of unlocking my device since the face recognition is fast and doesn't require me to do anything but sit there with that dumb look on my face, but that key will be PERFECT as a backup when lighting condition cause issues. Or if I change my face....
Overall I highly recommend this keyboard. The keys feel great and the typing experience feels very premium.

- After a few minutes, the lights on the num pad and fn buttons will turn off to save power. This is a problem because I'm constantly switching between fn keys and they media keys and I can never tell if they are on or not with out having to press it to find out.
- After about 30 minutes of no interaction, the keyboard will enter a kind of sleep mode and will have to be woken up. So the first button you press will not be picked up by the computer. This is tough to get used to because I've had about 20 years of keyboards being immediately responsive.
- It reconnects very quickly, but it still needs to reconnect
- All the above is to save on battery and make it last the touted 3 months. I would be fine with it lasting less than 3 months if the thing would just stay on. Or at least for a longer amount of time.
- There are absolutely no settings at all. This is normal for a keyboard, but I should be able to change the "sleep" settings. I don't need it to last 3 months, I have a charging cable right next to it. I just want it to stay on.
- The fingerprint scanner is useless, it takes about 10 tries every single time I try to unlock my device. Luckily I spring for the Creative Labs F200 camera way back when it was experimental, so I usually log in with facial recognition. That being said, it doesn't always work (but really, what should I expect, it's Windows) so it would be nice to have a second, fast biometric passcode method. But alas, it is not there yet.
Fingerprint sensor works with RoboForm. Bluetooth connected automatically for me.

I honestly haven't seen a better keyboard than this one, and the fingerprint ID is an amazing plus. (Bare in mind you have to keep your finger for 1-2 seconds to get recognized)
