Where Type Cover really delivers is in its use of scissor keys. The keys themselves are a little bigger than in Touch Cover, thus reducing the amount of empty space between each key, but overall the feel is very similar. Thickness increases by roughly 2.2mm, enough to be noticeable while still maintaining the svelte profile of Surface, but in exchange for marginally more bulk you get a keyboard with actuating scissor keys. If Microsoft’s Touch Cover is the perfect companion for occasional typing, its Type Cover is the professional counterpart.
