I have found a GREAT keyboard for Surface

Microsoft Wedge Mobile Keyboard | Microsoft Hardware

Also a great keyboard - had one of these before i picked up my surface RT. Its the same width, comes with a cover on it that also doubles as a stand giving you a few more degrees than the Surface kickstand. Bluetooth pairing is great too

I just started using my Think Outside Bluetooth keyboard with the surface and it works well. Although its old and I brought it for my old palm and windows mobile phones for use with the office suit it seems to be holding its own without any special software installed. I'll have to play around with it some more to see if I can get some of those special function keys to work.. The only issue I've seen sofar is that a key will get stuck every now and then. I don't know if that's because I haven't used it in years or if there's something wrong with the automatic driver windows installed for it. I was playing Dredd vs. Zombies and the left arrow key would stick every once in a while also, so my guess is that it may be a driver issue. I can live with it for know because I didn't make any plans to purchase a type cover until the prices came down....if they ever do....

I'm doing the same thing. It works perfectly and has great mechanical buttons. makes a nice change from the type cover when you're working for a few hours at a stretch!

On the HP keyboard, how do you do "delete" (not backspace)?

My Type Cover stopped working over the weekend, so I sent it back to Microsoft for an exchange. I haven't received my new one yet, so decided to give my old Touchpad Bluetooth Keyboard a try. Now I am wondering why I didn't connect this before. If sitting at a table or desk, this is a great option - especially because it isn't actually connected physically.

Amazon.com: HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard: Electronics

Though it is expensive at the above link, you can find these around the web pretty cheap

How well does the HP TouchPad BT keyboard work in place of a Touch or Type keyboard? Did you have full functionality of Windows with the TP keyboard?

I'm strongly considering getting the Surface RT, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!
