Introducing Surface

Once you've set up Surface, here are a few things you should know.

Touch, keyboard, mouse, and pen

With Surface, you can easily switch between touch, keyboard, mouse, and pen. Use whichever you want when you want.

Touch Like a smartphone, you can interact with Surface by touching the screen. For example, you can drag your finger down a page to scroll. For more info, see the Touch: swipe, tap, and beyond section in this guide.

Keyboard Surface has two keyboard options: Touch Cover and Type Cover (each sold separately). You can also use a full-size USB or Bluetooth keyboard if you’d like.

Mouse You can use the trackpad on Touch Cover or Type Cover, or connect a USB or Bluetooth mouse.

Pen Surface Pro includes a digital pen which you can use to take notes, draw, and mark up documents. If you have Surface RT, you can use a capacitive stylus (purchased separately) with the touchscreen.

Find out more about this in the Keyboard, pen, and mouse section in this guide.
