While that’s one way to turn the Surface Pro 8 into a more of a larger laptops experience, it’s not the only addition Brydge is introducing. Occasional charging would then be required, something Brydge says can provide up to six months of life on a two hour charge, complete with backlit keys, as well, with the keyboard made in aluminium to match the build of the Surface 8.

Microsoft of course makes its fabric-based Type Cover keyboard, but if you’re after a look and feel more like a laptop, you might want something to finish the look.īrydge is ready with something for that purpose, announcing a version of its keyboards normally for the iPad, but this time for the Surface Pro 8.Ĭalled the Brydge SP+, it’s built to match the new Surface design but won’t use the Surface connector to power the keys, instead opting to bring a keyboard and touchpad over Bluetooth, similar to how Brydge keyboards work on the iPad Pro. That combination should make the tablet a force to reckoned with, but if you want to make into a proper laptop, you may need a keyboard. Thinking of getting one of those new Surface computers, or maybe something lacking in ports? Brydge may have a couple of options worth looking at.Ī Surface is a pretty slick way to have a computer all encased in a touchscreen, and with the latest model, the Surface Pro 8, the screen appears bigger thanks to smaller bezels, while Microsoft has included some Type C USB and Thunderbolt 4 love.
