Microsoft Surface Pro 1 gears and accessories

Turn your Surface Pro 1 into a laptop.

The first must-have accessory for your Surface RT and Surface 2 is the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 Type Cover. This new Type Cover features a better typing experience with an adjustable backlit key, so you can work even in a dark place.

Moreover, you will feel better when you swipe on the trackpad as it is smoother and has better accuracy. This Surface Type Cover protects your device’s screen from scratches and cracks.

Great job at reducing screen glaring

Ultraportable design, easy on/off, and multiple color options

It is a well-constructed and solid mouse that comes in four color options: Black, Platinum, Burgundy, and Cobalt Blue. Despite its ultra-slim and lightweight design, it also offers many customizable features via the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center. One cool feature that I like the most is how easy it is to turn it on/off by just bending it.

This mouse uses Bluetooth 4.01/4.1/4.2 wireless connectivity that will work seamlessly with your Surface Pro 1. It uses BlueTrack technology that will work on almost any surface. It also has a long battery life of up to 9 months on a pair of AAA batteries that are already included in the box. See Also:
