Has anyone used these for windows? How do they compare to surface contacts for windows? Thanks!

If it a newer tilt out window that brings in some mechanical issues again getting enough physical contact with each piece

Yes, I replaced existing window sensors of the same design and they work great!I did not replace the magnet portion of the set, as the magnets that were in the window frame were fine, and of a different style.

No I have not, but they should work just fine as a hidden means of insuring closure of a window as well as a door.

Surface contacts for windows are installed at the surface. These contacts can be embedded in the window frame, allowing a more hidden install. They both work the same way. The surface mount contacts can have more sensitivity versus the flush mount. I have the flush mount because the installer wanted to keep the wires hidden.

Might work in older wood windows. Newer windows usually some type rubber/vinyl seal on the sides. Thus it may make the contact and magnet to far from each other.You might get enough contact to the magnet if you put it in the bottom of the window and the contact in the sill portion.

Works very well with windows 8. Although, with windows 8 you'll find you rarely use the touchpad and start using the touchscreen a lot more.

I couldn't get mine to work with my Microsoft surface pro 2. I had people much more computer literate than me try to figure it out, no one did. I had to send it back. sorry i couldn't be more help.

Hi Scott.... according to the product description,they are,"Compatible with All Touchscreen Devices." They go on to list the more obvious ones, but it seems like they would work with any touchscreen.

Idk my understanding is that these Bluetooth connectors are Win 95 compliant only! As run Ubuntu and Linux Mint I can tell you it's sees it, but I've never been able to make them work or connect under those OS either.I bought 2 others from Belkin. Bit the bullet and paid $19.99 for each of them at a tiger direct store down the street. Both work under Win 7 and all Linux OS I use.Best regards

Hi -- I have the "Type" keyboard for my Surface RT, but I went ahead and paired the Logitech to see how it goes. After turning on the keyboard's switch, setting the Surface to search for a BT device, and hitting the Logitech's "connect" button underneath the keyboard -- the pairing prompt came up on the Surface. It asked me to enter the passcode on the keyboard -- after I did that and hit "Enter," the Surface went through its permutations and paired the devices. I used the Windows button on the Logitech to take the Surface to Desktop, and then opened a Word document to type in a couple of paragraphs. A combination of the Ctrl-S keystrokes saved the document. Hitting the Windows button again took me back out to the Desktop. So -- based on that very limited "test," the Logitech seems to work with the Surface okay. If I can add an additional kibbitz -- I really LOVE the Type keyboard for the Surface. The tactile sensation is like pounding on a heavy piece of slate (best way to describe it) -- rock-solid and very responsive. Coupled with the form factor, where it clamps reliably to the Surface and also serves as the screen cover (effectively turning the Surface into a highly mobile laptop), I'm really glad I went with it. Of course, I leveraged the "free keyboard" offer that Best Buy was offering recently with a Surface purchase (they may still be doing that), so the choice was a bit of a no-brainer. But anyway -- just to confirm that the Surface works with the Logitech -- at least based on my very limited test. Hope that helps!

I purchased a Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse with my original Surface Pro and loved it. When I upgraded to a Surface Pro 2, I kept the wedge touch mouse and purchased another to keep at work. I just recently purchased a Surface Pro 3 (512, i7) and both of the wedge touches I have work perfectly with it, no problems at all.

Microsoft has it's own technology for wireless keyboards. It's called BlueTrack. They come with a dongle that you put in a USB port on your computer.I misread it many, many times before realizing that it wasn't the same as BlueTooth.

I have mine on my HP touch screen Laptop with Windows 8.1 and it works just fine. Works the same with it on just gives you the satisfaction of no finger prints :)

ss far as I know the nibs should work fine although I have not used the nibs on Microsoft`s Surface Pro. I use my nibs with the Bamboo pad and not on the screen if that`s what you mean. Sorry I could not help you more than that.

Good Afternoon,I can't answer your question specifically but it works on all my PC's and laptop. I can't see why it wouldn't work on a Surface. To bad you can't answer me. I would like to know about your surface. How do you like it? And what specs. did you end up with?

The "touch" part of this monitor requires you to connect the monitor via the supplied USB cable to your computer and you must install the software that comes with this monitor. Once you've done that "touch" will work and it works very, very well for Windows 8. Very impressive.

Thanks for the info. I have installed the app, but the driver included for the GL10 doesn't install on a Windows 7 machine. Do you have a different experience?

This happened to me once. I just unclicked it from the surface nd reattached it than it worked. I guess it didn't connect correctly when I tried the first time and haven't had any problems since..it may also just be a defective one. Hope you get it fixed!
