The regular type cover has what I would guess is rubber, but the texture is more reminiscent of a grippy faux leather.Įnd of the day, I actually prefer the feel of the regular type cover, but the difference is definitely more minor than it's been made out to be. Not terrible, but I wouldn't call it luxurious. Not flimsy, but the texture is reminiscent of paper. : Microsoft Surface Pro Signature Type Cover - Constructed with Alcantara, Durable, Stain-Resistant Material, Light Charcoal - FFQ-00141 : Electronics Electronics Computers & Accessories Computer Accessories & Peripherals Keyboards, Mice & Accessories Keyboards Buy new: 14029 FREE delivery Wednesday, May 31.

Is the alcantara pressed? The surface of it feels to me a little like paper. The signature one looks like alcantara, but feels much smoother. For that side, I can't tell any difference between the Surface Go Signature Type Cover and the SP7 regular Type Cover.įor the keyboard deck side, neither of these covers has that suede-like material. The regular, bundled type cover has a suede, alcantara-like material on the bottom/outside. I ended up going with the savings, and now that I have both in hand, I feel like the differences are way over-stated. Everything I read said Signature has alcantara (nicer) and the other doesn't. Coming from a Surface Go with the 'Signature' type cover with Alcantara, I was hesitant to pick up the SP7 w/ type cover bundle on sale, which would save me hundreds over the SP7 alone alongside a signature cover (just due to how the deals were set up at the time).
