It is pretty good. Microsoft historically has been very bad at marketing. I wonder if they've hired a new marketing team. Sure beats the "Windows was my idea". :)

It’s all connected via USB and Micro HDMI and you can jump on the keys to control the input. The company has even built space around the keys so you can walk around them before you select the correct key to jump on. We tried the keyboard with the Twitter app for Windows 8, and it worked surprisingly well."
