Microsoft Surface Pro Type Cover Keyboard - Black (EP2-04198)

Typing on a tablet's on-screen keyboard can be slow and frustrating, especially when you need to work on documents or emails. The Microsoft Surface Pro Type Cover solves this by transforming your Surface Pro into a full laptop-like experience. This keyboard cover attaches magnetically to your Surface Pro 3, 4, 5th Gen (2017), 6, or 7, giving you a tactile keyboard and a precision glass trackpad. The backlit keys let you type comfortably in low light, and the cover folds back for tablet mode or closes to protect the screen.
