Because Surface Go have a 3:2 aspect ratio screen, while iPad uses a 4:3 aspect ratio for their screen. Which means unless they increase the bezel size, the keyboard will have to be smaller.

The iPad Pro 10.5 smart keyboard cover is just 5mm wider than the Surface Go type cover. But there's a noticeable difference in the spaciousness of the keys. Here's a pic - note that the iPad Pro keyboard is closer to the camera.

the feel of the Surface Go type cover beats the iPad Pro smart keyboard cover.

Yes, spotted at Challenger Vivo, probably in other places as well. Pretty lightweight, nice screen, feels good in the hand.

Unfortunately the keyboard, while high quality, feels too cramped for me. I find the iPad Pro 10.5's smart keyboard just spacious enough, and the Go's keyboard is narrower than that.

The keyboard felt too cramped for me as well. Though I was standing, and only tried it for like maybe a minute. If I get it then I guess I'll get used to it. :o

Waah. So tempted to get the Surface Go. Just tried a demo set at HN Millenia Walk.
It’s so light and compact.
Maybe I just wait for Comex 2018. :s22:

More reasonable to use pen with surface GO. 12inch Surface pro is too big and heavy to hold it and write note.

Am tempted to replace existing surface pro to surface GO. Then use monitor when use it as PC.:s12:
