More Mice and Keyboards for Surface Tablets?
OK, so I love gadgets. Yes, I admit it.
I’m always on the lookout for new accessories that will work with my Surface tablets (yep, we have 4 of them.)
In this post I will talk about the new keyboards and mice from Microsoft that will work nicely with your Surface.
If you’re like me and bought a type cover for your Surface, you already have a keyboard and a track pad attached to your Surface.
Why then, would you need another mouse or keyboard?
Well, for me, I prefer to use a regular mouse rather than the track pad and since I use my Surface Pro 3 as my main computer, I also often use it with a docking station, so I have an external mouse, keyboard and two monitors.
In addition, when doing presentations, I sometimes like to have a Bluetooth a keyboard that will work from a distance away from my device.
Besides, these new gadgets are pretty cool.
So, I thought I’d share with you some of the new gadgets from Microsoft that can be used with your Surface.
