One of the intriguing highlights from Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC event last night was the Surface Pro 11th Edition. This new model comes with a detachable keyboard accessory called the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard, allowing it to function separately from the device, similar to a standard Bluetooth keyboard, without the need to attach it like previous versions of the Surface Pro Keyboard.
The introduction of the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard enhances the flexibility of using the Surface Pro. For instance, users can place the tablet on a desk or the floor while the keyboard is positioned elsewhere for typing, solving the issue of not having a flat surface to place the device and keyboard together, like on a narrow airplane seat.
The Surface Pro Flex Keyboard is available for purchase with the Slim Pen (which has a storage slot on the keyboard) at a price of $450 or approximately 17,000 baht (Microsoft Store). This is considerably more expensive than the Surface Pro Keyboard with a Slim Pen storage slot but without wireless connectivity, which is priced at $280 (Microsoft Store).
Additionally, the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard is backward compatible with Surface Pro 8, 9, and 10. There is also a special version designed for visually impaired individuals, featuring a bold keyset for clear key letterings.
TLDR: Microsoft unveiled the Surface Pro 11th Edition with the detachable Surface Pro Flex Keyboard, providing enhanced flexibility in usage. The accessory includes the Slim Pen and is compatible with older Surface Pro models while offering a special version for visually impaired users.
