It could be a match for Tom Brady’s next Surface spike
. The $229 SP Max Plus consists of a rugged, backlit keyboard and a rugged, detachable case for Microsoft’s current-gen Surface tablet — all of which have an antimicrobial coating. Notably, it operates with a physical connection, not a wireless one.
The SP Max Plus requires a USB-C port to power its keyboard, but has holes for the Surface Pro 8’s webcam and other ports.The SecureConnect pogo pins that push power from the tablet and into the keyboard require one very big sacrifice: one of the Surface Pro 8’s two USB-C ports. The inside of the SP Max Plus case has a USB-C plug that you need toalign to insert into the tablet, so you’ll want to be doubly certain that you aren’t putting it in wrong .
There was a USB-C jack here, but it snapped off cleanly when I inserted the Surface Pro 8 incorrectly.For giving up one of your precious USB-C ports, which could otherwise be used for data transfer, charging, or connecting to a monitor, Brydge’s SP Max Plus gives you very little in return. In fact, it’s just the keyboard functionality. I’d be happy if it at least returned the port on the side of the keyboard for charging, but that’s not what you get here.
The SecureConnect mechanism seems like a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist. I asked Brydge if its method for connection was better than Microsoft’s. Brydge spokesperson Hannah Matthews toldthat “Our point of connection is not better than the Microsoft type cover , but it is equivalent.” Okay then.The SP Max Plus might make sense if you’re someone who’s looking for the most protection possible for your trusty Surface Pro 8.
