Specifications & Features

Keyboard and Slim Pen Bundle

The package combines two essential Surface Pro accessories:

• Microsoft Surface Pro 13-inch Keyboard
• Microsoft Surface Slim Pen

The keyboard provides a comfortable laptop-style typing experience, while the Slim Pen supports handwriting, sketching and precise on-screen control.

This package does not include a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet.

Premium Backlit Keyboard

The Surface Pro Keyboard features a full QWERTY layout with mechanical moving keys. Its optimised key spacing and travel provide a familiar typing experience for documents, emails, spreadsheets and other productivity tasks.

Adjustable keyboard backlighting makes the keys easier to see when working in dim rooms, during travel or at night.

Keyboard features include:

• Full QWERTY layout
• Backlit mechanical keys
• Full row of function keys
• Windows shortcut keys
• Media controls
• Screen-brightness controls
• Multiple typing positions
• Slim and lightweight construction

Dedicated Copilot Key

A dedicated Copilot key provides quick access to Microsoft’s AI features on supported Windows devices.

Pressing the key can open Copilot for assistance with writing, summarising, planning and other supported tasks. When Copilot is unavailable or disabled, the key may open Windows Search instead.

Copilot availability and functionality depend on the connected Surface Pro, Windows version, region and Microsoft account.

Microphone-Mute Shortcut

A dedicated microphone key allows users to mute or unmute the microphone quickly during supported video calls and online meetings.

This is useful when using platforms such as Microsoft Teams and other compatible communication applications.

Snipping Tool Shortcut

The dedicated screen-snipping key opens the Windows Snipping Tool for faster screenshots.

Users can capture the whole screen, a selected window or a specific area without navigating through several menus.

Large Precision Glass Touchpad

The keyboard includes a large precision glass touchpad for smooth cursor movement and accurate navigation.

It supports Windows multi-touch gestures for scrolling, switching applications and managing open windows. The mechanical touchpad provides familiar physical feedback when clicked.

Touchpad features include:

• Precision glass surface
• Multi-touch gesture support
• Accurate cursor movement
• Left- and right-click functions
• Approximately 100.7 × 56.7mm touch area

This is a mechanical touchpad rather than the larger haptic touchpad found on the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard.

Included Surface Slim Pen

The included Surface Slim Pen is designed for natural handwriting, sketching, shading and document annotation.

Its slim profile resembles a traditional carpenter’s pencil, making it comfortable to hold while remaining easy to store inside the keyboard’s integrated tray.

Slim Pen features include:

• 4,096 pressure-sensitivity levels
• Zero-force inking
• Precise pen input
• Tilt and shading support
• Side button
• Top button with eraser functionality
• Rechargeable lithium-ion battery
• Haptic feedback on compatible Surface devices

Pen features may vary according to the connected Surface Pro model and Windows version.

Integrated Pen Storage and Charging

A recessed tray above the keyboard stores the Surface Slim Pen securely.

The pen charges while placed inside the tray, eliminating the need for a separate charging cable. Magnetic alignment keeps it in position when the keyboard is closed or carried inside a bag.

The storage tray also helps prevent the pen from being misplaced during travel.

Magnetic Surface Connection

The keyboard attaches magnetically to a compatible Surface Pro through the Surface connector.

Once connected, it is recognised automatically without manual Bluetooth pairing. The magnetic attachment also allows the keyboard to be positioned at a comfortable typing angle.

Connection features include:

• Magnetic attachment
• Surface connector
• Automatic detection
• No separate keyboard charging required
• No manual Bluetooth setup

Important Attached-Use Information

This is the standard Surface Pro Keyboard with Slim Pen. It must remain connected to the Surface Pro to work.

It does not support detached wireless typing. Buyers who require a keyboard that works while physically separated from the tablet should consider the Microsoft Surface Pro 13-inch Flex Keyboard.

Premium Alcantara Material

The keyboard is covered in Microsoft’s premium Alcantara material, which provides a soft and comfortable palm-rest surface.

Alcantara gives the keyboard a premium appearance while keeping the accessory slim and lightweight. It should be cleaned carefully according to Microsoft’s care instructions to prevent staining or material damage.

Screen Protection

When closed, the keyboard covers the Surface Pro display and helps protect it against scratches during storage and transportation.

It functions as a screen cover but does not replace a dedicated protective case for impact protection.
