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

You can use your fingers to interact with Surface. For example, drag your finger across the Start screen to scroll and tap a tile to open it.

∙To learn about using touch, be sure to read the Touch: tap, slide, and beyond topic in this guide.

∙To learn how to use the on-screen touch keyboard, see the On-screen keyboard topic.

Keyboard

You can choose from two keyboard covers for your Surface:

Touch Cover or Type Cover.

Both keyboards magnetically attach to Surface. To attach Touch Cover or Type Cover, simply bring the two close together. When Touch Cover gets close, it aligns and snaps into place.

Once connected, the keyboard cover stays put. You can easily remove it if you’d like. Just pull it away.

When you fold Touch Cover or Type Cover back behind the touchscreen, the keyboard is disabled. This way you can’t accidently type on the keyboard.
