What are surface keyboards?

Surface keyboards are a line of computer keyboards designed to work with Microsoft Surface laptop-tablet hybrid devices. Surface keyboards clip onto a Microsoft Surface and double up as protective screen covers when a Microsoft Surface is not in use.

The three main types of Surface keyboard are the Type Cover, which has mechanical keys; the Power Cover, which has an inbuilt power bank; and the Touch Cover, which has touch-sensitive keys that do not move when pressed. Each version of the Microsoft Surface is compatible with different Surface keyboard models. Precise descriptions of the Surface keyboard models and their feature sets are available on Microsoft.com.
