Microsoft EKZ-00001 Modern Keyboard with Fingerprint ID

Excellent, soft yet tactile keys. Very happy with purchase. Setup was a bit strange, but easy and once setup it works perfectly. 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.

I'm very happy with this keyboard. My purchase decision was based on the fingerprint reader, and it works nearly 100% of the time. Once or twice per week I might have to log in with a password, which is acceptable to me. My corporation has strict hardware security standards, and the fingerprint reader appears to be compatible with them. The typing experience is very nice. The tactile feedback is balanced - distinct without being distracting. The material of the keys has the slightest grab on your fingertips, further contributing to a solid typing experience. There are some nice, unique function keys - this is definitely a Windows keyboard. Top right is a lock key to lock the workstation; next to that is a key for the notification panel, which is find myself using frequently and appreciating. There are two others of lesser consequence which I'll let you discover for yourself, but the one unexpected joy I found was the return of the context key, next to the right ctrl key. This key is like a right click at the point where your cursor is. It's an old favorite, which I grew dependent on, that had largely disappeared from keyboards. So happy to have it again. :) I like nice things, and appreciate quality build construction. I find this keyboard quite satisfying in that regard. Minimalist, solid. I have not yet tested its wireless functionality, and have no plans for it. I would have rated it six stars if it had back-lighting. I expect a keyboard of this caliber with that feature will someday supplant this one. You will like this keyboard.

This keyboard is exactly what I've been looking for! I've been wanting something similar to the Apple keyboard, but for grown-ups who use real computers. 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.

I am a fast typist, I believe these reduce RSI at least for me, love the re-chargeability and bluetooth option.

The sign-in with fingerprint works well and fast. Highly recommended

I was looking for best quality windows keyboard with wired option to avoid any radiation and I could not find something similar to mac wired keyboard. Finally my search end here with this amazing keyboard with robust and feels like premium laptop keyboard. I could not leave my laptop faraway connecting to monitor and still enjoy same level of keyboard luxury. This means I am completely out of laptop radiation. Thanks to Microsoft and great delivery by FastMedia with in fastest possible time from USA to India. Great job done by vendor and Amazon making this happen in such a short span. Though its pricey (almost double) here in India, we dont have much option to get worlds best here in India, when big companies deny to ship to retailer stores here in India.

Having used mechanical keyboards for the last 5 years I've now been required to buy a quieter keyboard for the sake of my newborn. I must say this has been one of the most unexpectedly fantastic purchases I've made for a long time. I'm not sure I will ever go back to a mech keyboard based on the sound alone, but the quality of this keyboard, the touch and feel, is truly top notch and very pleasant to use. Oh, plus the fingerprint ID.

Hermoso teclado, es perfecto para mi diseño de escritorio. Yo lo escojo específicamente porque viene de EEUU y el teclado está en inglés. No soporto el tenerlo en español. 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)
