Microsoft Surface Go Type Cover - Keyboard - with trackpad, accelerometer - backlit - UK - black - commercial - for Surface Go, Go 2

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £73.10 ex-VAT, this Surface Go Type Cover is only “good value” if you actually need a keyboard daily. The build and travel feel are decent for the size, the trackpad works well enough for normal office work, and the backlighting is genuinely useful in darker spaces (meeting rooms, trains, client sites). If you’ve got a Surface Go / Go 2 and you use it more than occasionally, the Type Cover is the difference between a tablet toy and a proper small business laptop.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re expecting the keyboard experience of a full-size ThinkPad or even a standard laptop—key travel and key spacing are still compromises. Also, if your setup is mostly desk-based and you already have a separate keyboard, this is hard to justify. But for mobile users (field staff, consultants, anyone doing emails/docs in short bursts) it’s a practical, low-risk upgrade—especially as a replacement for a worn or missing cover.
