I just love this keyboard from surface RT/pro. It gave me the excellent feeling as some mechanical switches.
If you owned the surface, please tell me more info.Because Windows doesn't talk anything about the keyboard.
It's important for me!

I am typing on it right now, I would prefer a mech but on the go with the surface pro it is too practical, and pretty quiet too. Very crisp, Lenovo's current laptop keyboards offer more precision but are slightly softer.
It having a proprietary connector I don't realistically see you being able to use it with a PC.
I think that your best bet is going with the Microsoft universal foldable keyboard and a bluetooth adapter for your PC.

Is that Microsoft universal foldable keyboard touch feeling and switch are same as the surface RT/Pro keyboard?
I"ll take a time and try it at shop.

I've never tried it, but there is a Bluetooth adapter for the keyboard:

You're welcome.
Having not tried it myself, I can only rely on others who said that it looks and feels exactly the same, with the exception of the gap in the middle! At the same time, being able to use it with many devices makes it that much more useful.
Oh! That is an option also which I did not know.
