It might be defective. I have had a lot of luck with the Type Cover. It's
going great.but we did have to return one of our surfaces when the keyboard
stopped responding occasionally.

 

- stw

 

I don't even use spell check - my misspellings are on purpose.

Subject: [OT] Soft v. Type Keyboard with Surface RT

 

  

Love my Surface RT but felt that the soft keyboard was slowing me down.  So
I bought the Type keyboard, just got it today, and it is perhaps worse!  Do
you think I just got a defective one?  What happens is, when I'm typing very
fast, it occasionally just stops typing.  This happens in any application.

 

On the other hand, the Type keyboard may actually be better when typing more
slowly, so perhaps it is worthwhile.

 

Anybody else having similar experiences?  Is it easy to return these
keyboards?

 

Mike
