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.

Have an issue with your Type Cover?
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.

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

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.
