Touch Cover
Touch Cover is more than a protective cover for your Surface. It’s also a uniquely designed keyboard. When you’re
typing on Touch Cover, you can rest your hands on the Touch Cover keys. Touch Cover only detects key presses
when you strike a key. Type on Touch Cover just as you would type on any other keyboard.
By default, a sound plays when you strike a key on the Touch Cover. This way you know when your touch is
recognised as a key press. To turn off the sound that plays when you type:
1. Open the Settings charm, tap or click Change PC settings.
2. Tap or click General.
3. Scroll to Touch Keyboard. Find Play key sounds as I type and move the slider to Off.
Function keys
If you want to use a function key (F1-F12), use the Fn key in combination with a key from the top row of Touch
Cover. For example, for F1, press Fn + Mute.
Type Cover
Type Cover is a slim version of a traditional keyboard with moving keys. It gives you the speed and feel of a
laptop keyboard.
Just like the Touch Cover keyboard, Type Cover magnetically clicks into place and doubles as a cover for your
Surface. With Type Cover you go from tablet to laptop in an instant.
