The basics

There are a few things you need to know to get around your Surface Pro 3.

Touch, keyboard, mouse, and pen

With Surface, you can easily switch between using touch, a keyboard, mouse, or pen.
•
Touch. You can use your fingers on the touchscreen, like you would on a smartphone. For example, drag
your finger across the screen to scroll.
•
Keyboard. Click in a Typing Cover or use a full-size USB or Bluetooth keyboard.
•
Mouse. Use the Typing Cover touchpad, or connect a USB or Bluetooth mouse.
•
Pen. Take notes, draw, and mark up documents using the Surface Pen. Jot a quick note in OneNote, even
if your Surface Pro 3 is locked. Just click the pen and start writing. Your note will be waiting in the Quick
Notes section of OneNote the next time you sign in.

Start screen

Start is the heart of your Surface—it's where you open apps, check your calendar, mail, and more in live tiles, and
get to your favorite websites. From the Start screen you can search for files, apps, and settings on your Surface,
and search the web.
