Microsoft Type Cover for Surface Pro (12.3-inch, renewed) is an ultra-thin magnetic keyboard that converts your Surface Pro 3/4/5/6/7 into a productive laptop with backlit keys and a precise multi-touch trackpad.

Lightweight, slim and designed to snap on magnetically, this renewed Microsoft Type Cover gives your Surface Pro a familiar laptop feel while retaining tablet portability. It pairs via Bluetooth, includes English and Japanese key legends, and uses durable materials with an intelligent backlight so you can type comfortably in a range of environments. The blue finish updates your device’s look while the refurbished condition offers value without sacrificing core features.

How does the Type Cover attach and set up with my Surface Pro?

The Type Cover connects magnetically to the tablet’s edge for instant attachment and detachment—no connectors to fumble with. Initial pairing uses Bluetooth; once paired the keyboard will typically reconnect automatically when you open your Surface device.

• Magnetic hinge for tool-free attachment and removal
• Bluetooth connection with automatic reconnection after the first pairing
• Compatible models: Surface Pro 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 7+
