Note These Typing Covers are narrower than the Surface Pro 3, so closing them won’t put Surface Pro 3 to sleep.
You can see all of the Surface Typing Covers (sold separately) in Accessories on Surface.com. To find out how to
clean the Covers, see Cover care in this guide.
Can I use my desktop keyboard with Surface?
Yes. You can use a full-size USB or Bluetooth keyboard if you’d like. For more info, see Connect devices in this
guide.
