Note These Typing Covers are narrower than the Surface Pro 3, so closing them won’t put Surface Pro 3 to sleep.
You can see all of the Surface Typing Covers (sold separately) in Accessories on Surface.com. To find out how to
clean the Covers, see Cover care in this guide.
Can I use my desktop keyboard with Surface?
Yes. You can use a full-size USB or Bluetooth keyboard if you’d like. For more info, see Connect devices in this
guide.
Touchpad
Type Cover has a touchpad that you can use like a
built-in mouse. Drag your finger across the touchpad
to move the on-screen pointer.
