The Surface Book 2's (the model I own) keyboard is probably one of the best laptop keyboard on the market today. Proper key travel and spacing and it's even backlit. I particularly like that they volume controls are on F1-F3 since they plus the Fn key can be operated single-handedly.
I just wish it ran Linux better - I find Windows unusable.
- BinaryIdiot 7y agoI own a Surface Book 2 and a Surface Laptop 2. Both are amazing but I find the Laptop 2's keyboard better because of the fabric on it (which sounds bizarre). Either way, except for some Windows annoyances I really don't miss my MacBooks.
- Diggsey 7y agoWhen I first got it, it was fantastic, the best laptop keyboard I've ever used - over time the keys have got a little squishy though. Not enough to be an issue but it does make be a bit sad... I had a Surface Pro 4 before this and the keyboard on that was also amazing despite a much smaller size, and the keys didn't degrade at all.
- PretzelFisch 7y agoI love the Surface Book 2's keyboard, but it's trackpad still leaves a lot of room for improvement.
- halotrope 7y agoI just installed Ubuntu on mine and after updating the kernel with surface drivers[1] It works surprisingly well (Touch works, detach clipboard, nvidia-gpu, function keys). Its really a great linux machine tbh 1 https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface
