Connect devices
Connect a USB mouse, printer, and
more
Surface 2 has a full-size USB 3.0 port that you can use to
connect accessories, such as a printer, camera, music player,
phone, a mouse, or even an external hard drive.
The first time you plug in a USB accessory, Windows installs the
necessary software for you (if needed).
Use a mouse
You can use the touchpad on your Typing Cover, or add a USB or
Bluetooth mouse.
USB. Plug the mouse into the USB port on Surface.
Bluetooth. See the Add a Bluetooth device section below.
Change your mouse settings
Open the Search charm, tap or click Change PC settings > PC and devices > Mouse and touchpad.
Use a capacitive pen
You can use a capacitive pen or stylus (sold separately) on the Surface touchscreen. (Capacitive means a pen that
works like your finger.) You can use a pen to draw in apps like Fresh Paint, take notes in One Note, and mark up
Office docs.
Note The Surface Pro Pen can’t be used with Surface 2.
Add a Bluetooth device
Here’s how to add (also called pair) a Bluetooth device with your Surface:
1. Turn on the Bluetooth device and make it discoverable. To learn how to do this, check the info that came
with your Bluetooth device or the manufacturer’s website.
2. Open the Settings charm, tap or click Change PC Settings > PC and devices > Bluetooth.
3. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on, then wait while Windows searches for Bluetooth devices.
