...I am so going to loose this again but until then, yes it works great.
I've bought 3 or 4 replacement power units/chargers for my Surface Pro 4 so I know that it's very much hit and miss in getting a good one. The customer reviews have been a really useful tool for me, so I'm happy to say this latest charger seems like a good one. Yes I could buy an authentic Microsoft charger but £60 isn't that sensible, I will certainly loose it and there aren't so many available to buy .I've shopped around the £20 pricepoint and they just don't last, or even worse they don't charge and they send your mouse crazy. But guess what £28 looks like money better spent. Build quality is great, I've got the added benefit of an extra USB port to charge my phone and I even get the cable clip and velcro strap of the original. And it charges, and it hasn't messed with the mouse, and I will no doubt be buying another when I loose this one; £28 is the price I'm going to pay. Thanks AMAZON - and thanks for shipping out so quickly during lock-down. PS, Blue Moon v SpaceX - that'll be fun!

Do not buy
I have bought this product a few times because originally other than the problem that all charges of this type have( Cable breaking) a new problem has started to happen they blow up. All I know is one minute it's working fine the next I hear a bang sound from the power brick and all the power in the house goes and the charger stops working. I only recently bought my current one and now its broken the same way second time in a row.

Nothing like as good as the real thing
Updated again after 8 months.This thing now gets one star. Thats only because I cannot give it -5. On top of all the previous issues it started to cause the touch screen on my Surface Pro 4 to freeze randomly when it was used plugged in. The battery shows 1/2 full then dies seconds later, as happened whilst doing this update. I have bought the genuine Microsoft charger from Currys, on offer for £50, but I would quite happily have paid full price so that I no longer have to use this piece of rubbish, I'm going to try to get my money back.Update after 3 months use.I originally gave this 4 stars because of the price, see below. I have decided to reduce this to 2 stars, as the frustrations caused by the weak magnet and stiff lead far outweigh the savings against the original Microsoft one. Honestly swallow the extra money and buy the Microsoft one and save yourself the grief of this thing, that is barely fit for purpose.I have had it a week, it works. But. My main issue is the magnet that attaches the charging adaptor connection to my Surface Pro 4 is quite weak in comparison to the original. The cable is thicker and not as flexible, the combination of magnet and cable mean that the adaptor disconnects from the Surface all too easily. The thicker cable may however mean that it won't fail at the adaptor, only time will tell. The charging unit itself feels a little flimsy, again time will tell. Overall though I give it 4 stars, as compared to a new Microsoft one, it's a bargain.

Mouse Jump while charging
Delivered promptly & is a nicely built item.However after plugging it in to charge my Surface Book, caused the mouse pointer to jump around whenever I touched the mouse pad. Not unusable, but certainly not ideal.

So where is the case?
Have literally just received this power supploy this monring, my old supply having failed. I have owned a surface pro 4 for several years and one way or another worked through a few power supplies, usally the cables break around the computer connector. My last supply became very random in whether it work or not and it seemed have a particular sound to it when it wqasn't going to work. Having looked at the photos on amazon I thought this was a different make to the last one but it isn't and may be slighlty worrying it makes the same sound as the old - perhaps its simply thats the noise they make and I had never noticed it until I started to listen for it, time will tell. There is a but though, in the photos on amazon there is quite a useful case shown which would tidy up carrying the supply when travelling, but there isn't one in the box received this morning, not exactly an earth shattering problem, but I would at least like the images on Amazon to accurately reflect what you are buying!

Exceptionally good value.
This replacement charger is exceptionally good value, especially compared to Microsoft OE (original equipment) replacement costing over two and a half times the price of this one. This charger has worked well both in the charging of our Microsoft Surface 3 Laptop, and in use of the auxiliary USB port which we regularly use to charge an iPhone. The USB port works well, both used independently for just charging the iPhone on it’s own, or whilst using the charger together with the laptop at the same time. The charger unit can get fairly hot with heavy use, but no more so than the Microsoft OE (original equipment) charger did when being used this way.So far after 5 weeks of use no problems whatsoever.All in all a very satisfactory replacement charger, representing very good value.

Perfect!
I was advised by my company to order a Microsoft Adaptor when my original Surface adaptor started playing up but;A: They are +£60B: MS are out of stock.Having weighed up Amazon reviews and price I opted for this one...it arrived within 24hrs (even in these strange times) and fits perfectly (not always the case when trying to use me-too products with a patented fit). Absolutely no complaints from the laptop and is charging beautifully. Adaptor even has the added bonus of a USB port...helpful when the surface only has one...now I can run an external drive and charge my vape!!! Highly Recommended

Great value
Whilst I'm always a bit cautious about using chargers that aren't made by the manufacturer of the item being charged, the official ones are so expensive. Whilst inflation is in action, too expensive for me. This one however had great and many reviews and is a prime item, with 12 months warranty so I decided to take that chance. Guess what... it charges just as efficiently as my official charger did, before it broke. And that had no warranty. I still wouldnt leave it charging unattended but after just a day with no charger, I can use my laptop again and didnt have to pay silly money in the process. Very happy :)
