I have a Surface Pro 1 with the type cover. Great tablet, I really like it. However the type cover is only a marginal improvement over the iPad (which I also own) for typing. If you really need to type a lot, a laptop is still your best bet.
- tedsanders 13y agoWhy is the type cover only a marginal improvement? I recently tried a type cover for the first time and was able to hit my typical 100 WPM on typeracer.com. To me, it seemed like a significant improvement over both the on-screen keyboard and even the touch cover.
- city41 13y agoMaybe you had better luck with it than me. I've tried on many occasions to buckle down and use it for typing and I always give up and get a real keyboard. I just gave typeracer a try and got 81wpm, so you also may just be a better typist than me.
- tedsanders 13y ago81 is quite good. Can you get anything close 81wpm on an iPad? Maybe I'm just bad at on-screen iPad keyboards.
- _random_ 13y agoDoes iPad have an USB port you can plug any external keyboard into?
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoThe iPad has a Lightning connector, for which you can get an USB adapter. That way, if you absolutely must connect a wired keyboard (instead of Bluetooth), you can. http://www.theipadguide.com/faq/can-i-use-usb-keyboard-ipad http://www.theipadguide.com/faq/can-i-use-usb-keyboard-ipad
