10 Best Surface Pro 4 Keyboards & Why You Need One

Surface Signature Type Cover

If you like the Surface Type Cover, but want something with a more premium feel, the Surface Signature Type Cover is for you. 

Functionally, Surface Signature Type Covers are identical to the standard Type Cover. They have backlit keys and large, smooth trackpads that support multi-touch gestures, like zooming in with your fingers and switching apps. Open a Surface Signature Type Cover to wake your Surface from hibernation. Close the cover to put the device into hibernation. 

Its the outer shell of the Surface Signature Type Covers that give them this premium feel. Microsoft describes the Alcantara material that covers these accessories as at home in “high-end luxury products like fashion, automotive, and interiors.” In short, the Signature Type Covers are softer than the standard covers. Colored Alcantara lines the Signature Type Cover's front cover and keyboard deck. Microsoft also uses this fabric on the Surface Laptop's keyboard deck. 

Surface Signature Type Covers come in gray, burgundy, teal and aqua for $159.99 each.
