How to use your Surface Type Cover

Applies to: Surface Devices

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.

For more info about touchpad taps and gestures, see Touchpad gestures for Windows 10.

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.

Fold the Type Cover back

Fold the Type Cover back behind the screen

to use your Surface as a tablet. Your Surface

won’t detect key presses while it’s folded.

To type text while the Type Cover is folded,

tap the screen anywhere you can type and

the touch keyboard appears.

Close the Type Cover

The Type Cover protects the screen when you aren’t using it. The screen turns off automatically

when you close the Type Cover. When you open it again, press the power button on your Surface

to wake it.

Note

Closing the Type Cover turns off your Surface screen only if your Type Cover and Surface are

the same size. If your Type Cover and Surface are different sizes, press the power button on your

Surface when you close it to save power.

Use Type Cover features

Use the touchpad

The Type Cover touchpad has right-click and left-click buttons, and it supports gestures. For

more info about using gestures and how to change the touchpad settings, see Touchpad use and

settings.

Use the keyboard

Special keys and function keys

Type Covers have shortcut keys for common tasks like searching, playing audio or video, and

more. The keys that appear on your Type Cover vary and depend on what model you have.

The keys on the top row of the Type Cover double as function keys when you hold down the Fn

key while pressing a top-row key. The Fn keys also works in combination with other keys to do

To learn how to set up your Surface to recognize your fingerprints, see What is Windows 
Hello? 
Having issues with the fingerprint reader? See Troubleshoot your Surface Type Cover or 
keyboard. This article also includes links to additional articles about troubleshooting 
Windows Hello and your Type Cover’s fingerprint reader.  
 
Add an input language to your Surface 
Type Covers are available for different languages and alphabets. To see what Type Covers are 
available in your preferred language or alphabet, visit the Microsoft Store for that region or 
language. 
You can set up your Surface to use additional languages and keyboard layouts. For more info, 
see Add and switch input and display language preferences in Windows 10 and Change your 
keyboard layout. These settings are saved to your Surface and apply to any Type Cover that you 
attach. 
If you're going to use your Type Cover on a different Surface, the input language settings for that 
Surface will apply. The language settings are associated with the Surface device itself, not the 
Type Cover.
