MAY 2020 • TECH ADVISOR 17I prefer the older Type Covers, as there’s a happy
medium between the need to depress the keys and
the desire to glide over them quickly. Over succeeding
generations, the Type Cover’s individual keys have
shrunk, giving more room to the trackpad. Like any
keyboard, however, the feel is subject to individual

SurfacePro’s display. The more modern Type Covers
feel a bit stiffer and more sturdy, suggesting they might
shelter the screen even more. They also offer three
levels of backlighting, or no lighting at all.
