10 Best Surface Pro 4 Keyboards & Why You Need One

Surface Pro 4 Type Cover

The Surface Pro 4 Type Cover is Microsoft's standard mobile keyboard accessory for Surface. Microsoft includes it in every Surface Pro marketing video or picture. In fact, it's easy to assume the cover comes with the Surface Pro 4. It doesn't. 

Surface Pro 4 Type Covers come in red, blue and black. Backlit keys keep you ready to work at any time of day, and a magnetic bar that locks to the Windows 2-in-1's screen improves your typing angle. Because this keyboard is rigid, you can get work done on your lap when there isn't a table around. The trackpad on Type Covers is as smooth as glass. Multi-touch gestures let you switch apps by swiping on the trackpad with three fingers or close every app you have open without clicking on anything in Windows. 

When you close the Surface Pro 4 Type Cover, the Surface Pro 4 goes to sleep. 

Amazon sells the Surface Pro 4 Type Cover in black for $98.49.
