It's better than nothing, but the Smart Folio for the iPad is nothing to write home about. I navigated websites and executed Windows 10 gestures, like pinch-to-zoom, with ease. The touchpad on the Type Cover is small, but it gets the job done. Apple added cursor support to the latest version of iPadOS but the only keyboard the Cupertino giant sells with a touchpad is the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro. The keys are snappy and offer the right amount of bounce for my fingers to effortlessly jump from one key to the next.Īnother benefit the Type Cover has over the Smart Folio is a touchpad. Looking past the small keys, the Surface Go 2's Signature Type Cover has a plush Alcantara fabric that is available in Black, Poppy Red, Ice Blue and Platinum colors. This issue is specific to the Surface Go 2 as its Type Cover is smaller than the one for the Surface Pro 7.

My only quibble with the Type Cover keyboard is that the keys feel cramped. It's also cheaper than the iPad's Smart Keyboard Folio ($159), at $139, yet feels more premium. Of the two, the Surface Go 2's Type Cover has greater functionality and is more comfortable to type on.
