Yesterday, Microsoft launched a new premium keyboard for the Surface Pro 4 called the Signature Type Cover. The new Surface cover promises to be made of Alcantara, a premium fabric that comes from Italy.
For a bit more backstory into Microsoft"s efforts, watch the firm"s promo video.
It would appear that Microsoft is focusing on design, as well as a premium feel. As far as the actual typing experience goes, it doesn"t seem to be very different from a regular Surface Pro 4 Type Cover.
However, premium it is. If you"re one that already spent $129-$159 on a Surface Pro 4 Type Cover, you"re probably not going to buy another. On the other hand, if you don"t own a Type Cover, or even if you have a Surface Pro 3 Type Cover, this might be something that you want to have a look at.
The Signature Type Cover, while branded as being for the Surface Pro 4, works with any Surface device, and it fits on both the Surface Pro 3 and 4 as a cover. You can grab one for $159 right now. If you"re interested in pricing in other markets, check out our coverage of the announcement.
Here"s our unboxing and first impressions of the Surface Pro 4 Signature Type Cover:
