The $69.99 Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard is the quintessential office peripheral's natural evolution. It’s incredibly compact and thin, exuding that sleek minimalist vibe coveted in professional spaces. The keyboard tweaks convention to make things easier for casual users, but not in any way that confuses or hampers traditionalists. In fact, its typing feel mirrors what you’d get from a laptop, which has become the default experience for most people. The Microsoft Designer Compact keyboard is an outstanding version of that very conventional office keyboard, with its lightweight build and long battery life. Unfortunately, it also requires four CR2032 batteries. Slim Fit Keys The Designer Compact is the epitome of a slim-fit keyboard, taking inspiration from the beautiful, stylish Apple Magic Keyboard. In fact, you may mistake the two keyboards due to their color schemes and slim profiles. Measuring 0.38 by 11.16 by 4.34 inches (HWD), it’s incredibly small, even by tenkeyless ...

The Microsoft Designer Compact is a super-thin keyboard that delivers easy, laptop-style typing.

Incredibly thin, compact design; Multi-connection Bluetooth lets you quickly switch among three devices; Long battery life; Fun and practical emoji key

Requires four CR2032 batteries; Using a keyboard this flat eventually takes its toll on the fingers

I love how compact this keyboard is. It has good action on the keys, and the bluetooth connection seems really solid.

Awesomely sized and works perfectly, great advice from the PB team

Very quick delivery despite lockdown and Keyboard is excellent Very comfortable to use and keys have quick response Easily recommended Thank you

Very compact and modern slim design, so easy to carry around, even smaller than my 13inch laptop keyboard. Very quiet to type, definitely recommended!

Great keyboard, highly responsive and the keys are good quality. Very small, which is great for a desk with not much space, but not so small that it's difficult to use. Pretty comparable in size to a laptop keyboard, but seems to be of higher quality than a standard laptop keyboard.

This keyboard seems like Microsoft's answer to Apple's Magic Keyboard, and this was bought for someone who's gotten really used to said svelte Apple keyboard but is migrating to a Windows set-up. Overall it's been great to use. Big plus is the minimal depth, which greatly reduces strain on the wrists while typing. Compared to the Magic Keyboard though, this has a bit more actuation force on the keys and has a tad shallower overall key travel, which makes it a bit more uncomfortable to type on. The only other thin, Windows-targeted keyboard option is Logitech's K380, but the circular keycaps would probably take some time to get used to. ...view more

Great keyboard no noise, easy to set up, multiple devices and a great small footprint.

Smooth keys and sleek design. Perfect for WFH conditions. It would be great to find (from Microsoft) why the keys respond slow after some sleep time.
