Microsoft Surface Pro Type Cover
Troubleshooting Steps
Applies to: Surface Go, Surface Pro, Surface 3
The Surface Type Cover is a slim keyboard that has moving keys. Use it to get the speed and feel
of a classic keyboard and to go from tablet to laptop.
Type Covers click magnetically into place and provide protection for your Surface touchscreen.
All Surface Type Covers have a standard keyboard layout, shortcut keys, and a two-button
touchpad that supports touch gestures.
Connect the Type Cover
The Type Cover attaches magnetically to
your Surface. Bring the two closer together
until the Type Cover aligns and clicks into
place.
Once the Type Cover is connected, it stays
put. When you want to remove it, just pull it
away.
With some Type Covers, you can pleat the
back edge up against your Surface. This
provides extra stability when you're working
on your lap.
