How to Shop for Surface RT Keyboards and Covers

In 2012, Microsoft released the Surface RT, a hybrid device that could function as a tablet or a laptop. This tablet had several unique features, like its folding kickstand and the Windows RT interface. While Microsoft eventually discontinued this product, current Surface RT users can still find compatible keyboards, cases, and other accessories on eBay.

What distinguishes the Type Cover from the Touch Cover?

When Microsoft first released the Surface RT, users had two cover options: the Type Cover and the Touch Cover. Both cover types attach to the Surface RT via magnetic connectors, and they both function as Surface RT keyboards. Differences include:

  • Touch Cover - While the Touch Cover functions as a keyboard, it is thin, lightweight, and offers no feedback. It has a standard keyboard layout and a small trackpad, but typing on this flat surface is more like typing on a smartphone than on a standard keyboard.
  • Type Cover - The Type Cover simulates a traditional keyboard experience. It's equipped with mechanical keys, which provide tactile feedback when you press them. To offer mechanical keyboard functionality, this cover is thicker than the Touch Cover.
What other features do these covers have?

These covers double as keyboards and protective cases. They have a few additional features as well, including:

  • Spill-resistant - These covers are constructed of heavy-duty materials that can withstand accidental spills.
  • Ease of use - The magnetic closure makes it easy to connect either of these Surface RT keyboards.
  • Windows keys - The keyboards have Windows-specific keys, such as Share, Search, Settings, and Devices, that make browsing the web and sending messages even easier.
  • Integrated trackpad - Both the Type Cover and the Touch Cover come with small integrated trackpads, which provide a laptop-like browsing experience.
  • Display shutdown - When you fold the cover over the Surface RT, the device's display instantly shuts down.
What colors and styles are available?

Surface RT keyboards come in a variety of colors and styles. Options include:

  • Touch Cover - The Touch Cover is available in many vibrant shades, including cyan, red, black, white, and magenta. Also available are Touch Covers with artwork etched onto the back. These covers feature floral patterns, animal designs, and more.
  • Type Cover - Most Type Covers are black, but you can also find options in blue, pink, purple, and other colors.
Do you have to use Microsoft covers?

While these Surface RT keyboard covers are specifically designed for use with this particular tablet, you can find plenty of protective shells, pouches, and folios that fit the Surface RT. You can also use a Bluetooth keyboard or attach an external keyboard via the tablet's USB drive.
