Microsoft Surface Pro Type Cover 
Troubleshooting Steps 

Applies to: Surface Go, Surface Pro, Surface 3  

 

 

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. 

 

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.
