  1. Surface Pro 2 (built 2012/13) w/magnetic Type Cover type 2


    Some letter keys stick or need more pressure than when Tablet and Type Cover were new. Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End don't work at all. No physical damage or spills to Type Cover, screen, or magnets.


    Questions to Community:

    How do I clean the Type Cover without going to a service center? -OR-

    Name of third-party vendor of type 2 Type Cover compatible with Surface Pro 2 Serial Number: 02197234453?

    :)

    Type Cover 2 not working with WIndows 10 (Release)

    I have a Surface Pro 2 with the Type Cover accessory. After updating to Windows 10 yesterday, my type cover keys no longer work (though the mouse touch pad part seems just dandy). I found this help article from Microsoft and I have followed as much of these steps as makes sense based on the situation descriptions, but still have no luck.

    Has anyone experienced this issue yet and has there been any type of firmware updates / touch pad updates / settings that need to be changed from default to make this work?

    I also forgot to mention that after the uninstall and reinstall of the drivers that my type 2 cover now appears as an HID keyboard. Before that it was recognized and listed as a Surface Type Cover.

    So, after suggesting checking for firmware updates, it does appear there was a firmware release July 23, 2015 that resolves this issue. The step-by-step directions as well as the firmware release history for the Surface Pro 2 can be found here.
