I suppose the heaviness has something to do with the overall "solid" feel and quality of the keyboard, so that seems a reasonable trade-off to me. It also assures being a counterweight to the somewhat heavy tablet so it keeps the combo from tipping backward too easily, which is not unusual with a lot of these 2-in-1 designs when the keyboard is not heavy enough. The battery does extend the unplugged working life a bit, but I found that I needed to "tune" the usage so that the keyboard battery is used before the tablet's battery instead of the default dual rundown scheme (as I recall). The only real deficiency for me, as a Thinkpad vet, is the use of a touchpad instead of a Trackpoint. I am constantly brushing the pad with the sides of my thumbs leading to random jumps of the cursor as I am typing, which is a big annoyance. Dell does have Trackpoints on theiir older Latitudes such as my D830, but even with those, the dual use of pad and Trackpoint leaves the brush-and-jump problem for me. Another benefit of having Trackpoint instead of pad is that the keys can use that below the space bar to be made bigger, and to have more of them such as Home/End/PgUp/PgDn, etc. I rest my case ;-}Read full review

the product is supposed to be a "docking" station, in reality its a keyboard with limited mobility. Its called a docking station because it has a second battery which is okay except the only way to charge it is to remove the tablet, so you can't charge while using it. The other thing is there are NO PORTS whatsoever on the keyboard. The worst part which is important to me, the keyboard hinge does not allow flexibility its about a 45 degree angle. So unless you are standing up to use the keyboard its very difficult to use the keyboard and still see the screen. I have to tip the whole computer backwards, so I can see the screen and type with the keyboard at an angle. I bought a logic tec keyboard that connects with Bluetooth. which is better, but will only hold the tablet in portrait mode. I think Dell really goofed upon this design and its misleading that its a dock, they also make a very lightweight keyboard that reviews said were flimsy and fell off users laps, so I did not buy it. I would probably have done better to buy a 11" or 12" hybrid laptop that folds all the way back (I already have one) but thought this would be an even lighter option. Maybe a surface would be a better option. Again, one of my major complaints is the lack of any ports on the keyboard. And tablet does not always seem to recognize the keyboard when it is installed. The logictech it paired immediately, so I don't think its the tablet.Read full review

The quality built is good, very nice to handle with the additional battery is just perfect. It is the design in the connection wiring that is not solid. My keyboard goes dead after two days, the next couple of days I spend figuring out how to get it alive again and this is what I did to get it going. After prying off the cover, 1) Make sure all the cable connection is fully connected. 2) The two side cable at the hinge that connect the tablet to the keyboard circuit board was lay under the hinge and after a few times of open and close the tablet with the keyboard attached, the keyboard just stop working. After removing the hinge and move the cable above the hinge so that it is free and not press by the hinge and it works. 3) Lastly I just use a wire tape to tape all the connection wire near to the circuit board to make sure that it don't get loose. After all the testing and repair, I believe it is the hardware connection part issue and not really a software issue because I also tried re-installing by going back to factory default and it still don't work.Read full review

Adding the keyboard increases battery life (has a second battery built in) and makes it nearly as easy as a full laptop. You could actually use the tablet and keyboard combination as your only laptop! It feels well built and charges when you have the tablet connected to power and the keyboard connected.

Good quality construction. This keyboard with its built-in will turn your Dell Venue 11 Pro into a mini laptop with really nice battery life. The other day I used it for 9 hours without needing to plug it in, and still had 35% battery remaining. Not only do you get a keyboard, touchpad and extended battery life, you also get function keys for volume, brightness, airplane mode, and more. There *is* a micro-USB charge port on the keyboard (inaccessible when the tablet is connected) but I caution you - read about the keyboard in forums before charging it separately from the tablet. Many users say their keyboard stopped responding after it was charged separately. I use the keyboard with a 7130 (i5, 4gb RAM, 128gb SSD) and it's my quickie laptop. I also have a 5130 (Atom CPU, 2gb RAM and 32GB drive) and it works equally well with both devices.Read full review
