    Type Cover Issue

    My take: You shouldn't have to do anything to get the type cover to work. It should just work. It seems like you have tried many different things. If this was a non-Microsoft keyboard, then I would lean toward the driver. At this point, I would think it is HW issue. It might be your SF3 or...

    Type Cover Issue

    I picked up type 3 cover using Staples 20% off, Nice... still valid till 7/5. I have been using the type 2 prior to the type 3. I have not seen the issue you mentioned on neither type 2 or type 3. I know it is not helping you, I just want to let you know that I don't see the issue.

    Protection Plans for your Surface Pro 3

    Many of my devices are covered by Squaretrade. The price is good. I was pretty happy with the service last time when I had to send in my daughter Alienware laptop to get main board replace. It took few days, mainly they had to get the part. The process was painless. I like BB service as...

    Anyone able to create hotspot on Surface Pro 3?

    Would this be easier to connect your phone to the same WiFi your SP3 connected to? Why bother tether through SP3? Maybe I don't really understand the use case. I am only doing the other way around where my phone is a hot spot and I connect my SP3 via WiFi and it works great.

    3 Days with the SP3

    I am wondering if people should head over to Surface page at Facebook and post your issue and concern there? Perhaps it might get more or quicker attention by Microsoft. They seem to think everything is all good over there. Not to trash talk the SF3. I just think for the price we paid for...

    Internet browser

    As much I like Chrome. IE is the best experience for me on Surface pro tablet. However, Metro UI IE suffer page reload when swipe to the right to go previous page. That is super annoying have to reload page every time. Somehow using back space is not having issue nor using desktop version of IE.
