will this cable work on my surface RT. It is not a surface 2 or pro. If it is compatible, do I need the key board to control picture on T.V.

Looking online it appears that you will require an adapter purchased from MSft. (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surfwinrt-surfgetstart/does-surface-rt-comes-with-a-mini-hdmi-or-hdmi/19de2657-5ce5-453d-944d-57e9829fe23c?msgId=29ff7e06-2519-44bd-b4a8-739b4c8ca610) As for keyboard I've had good success with the Logitech K400 series. The fob plugs into a usb slot and the keyboard works easily from 10-12 feet away (that's the furthest I've need it to work). Check with MSft on an adapter and then ask them whether the adapter uses a normal or mini hdmi cable and buy that cable online.

I am amazed that it does not work because I just went into Amazon and read a review from a student who claimed he bought one for his Surface Rt, and said he loved it and adapted to it very well. I see that there doesn't seem to be a particular keyboard especially for the Rt. Are you attempting to connect it to the two strong magnets on the bottom of the tablet? I'm sure you are. Also when I searched for a touch cover for the RT, that was what came up. You will love it when you do connect. Good luck.

Note that there are two separate VGA adapters, one for the Surface RT/Surface 2 (Microsoft part # W7S-00001), the other is for the Surface Pro/Pro 2. (Microsoft part # F7U-00015). Descriptions tend not to be particularly clear on the above point so make sure that you're getting the adapter right for your model. They are _not_ interchangeable. The item to which you've posted this query is part # W7S-00001 for the Surface RT/Surface 2. Hope this helps. Cheers, Christopher

I have a Surface RT 8.1 and it works great.I don't know if this will work for the Surface 2 or Pro, there may be a slight size difference.Not sure.

No DOES NOT FIT the Microsoft Surface 2 (Surface RT version 2). The DisplayPort connector is too large. Tested with PNY cable received today, bummer.

The upper part of the right side of your Surface RT (original) has the small speaker at the top and the mini-HDMI port (female) below it, and under that is the full sized USB port. You should notice the male mini connector has a cap on it for protection. Also notice the plastic head has a slant to match the slanted side of the tablet. Make sure you seat it correctly when connecting. It is sensitive to movement once in place, so make sure the tablet is not moved around while using it. I've used mine several times, and it works great.

Connects perfectly with my Surface Pro 1. Try power cycle the RT and then make the RT discoverable and make sure you tap the Bluetooth button on the keyboard.

Yes, I tried it on my mom's surface rt and it worked flawlessly! You might need to get the latest Windows updates to enable reliable compatibility. Cheers!

I bought mine for my surface rt 1st generation and it works great. I run it into an onkyo receiver and out to a HD projector

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work satisfactorily. OS in each case would be Win 8.1. However, I use an Asus Transormer T100, not a Surface Pro 2.

I don't know if it works with the Surface Pro 2, but I do know that it works very well with the Surface Pro. I hook my Surface Pro to my 54" TV and love the results!

NokiaFanToo, the question was about a Surface Pro, not a Surface RT. There is a similar $10 adapter by Cable Matters that states it works with the Surface Pro but not the Surface RT. I hope this is the case with this PNY model as I am about to order it instead of the Cable Matters adapter. P.S. I will be using this on a Surface Pro 2. Also, I have a Moshi adapter originally purchased for my MacBook Pro that works perfectly with my Surface Pro 2, both audio and video.

I was able to take it out of the box and connect it to my Surface RT without any problems. Did you try to connect it and then reboot it with it connected. You might see if it needs to download software. Try connecting it to the internet with the keyboard connected. Hope this helps.

I havent tried on the surface RT but i think it will work there. I can confirm that it works on iphone, samsung galaxy sII and hp touch pad. It even works on capacitive trackpads on laptops such as macbook pro and modern pc laptops. It works great for typing but may not be the best tool to draw something. It is precise, but the point is not fine, it pretty much is like a small rounded finger tip.

This is the right cable to use for connecting the Surface RT to an HDTY. When you plug it in to the micro HDMI port of the Surface and the other end to your TV, go to the devices menu, and select "project". I have not had any problems with the cable and you can not beat the price!
