Touch, keyboard, pen, and mouse

With Surface Book, you can switch easily between using the touchscreen, the keyboard, a mouse,

or a pen.

Touchscreen

You can use your fingers on the touchscreen just as you would on a smartphone. For example, drag

your finger across the screen to scroll. For info about ways you can interact with the touchscreen,

see Using touch with Surface Book in Get started with Surface Book on Surface.com.

There’s also a built-in on-screen keyboard you can use. For more info, see How to use the Surface

Keyboard

The Surface Book keyboard has a standard layout and includes backlit keys. Special shortcut keys

and function keys help you do common tasks quickly. Keys on the top row double as function

keys—hold down the Fn key while you press a top-row key. The Fn key also works in combination

with other keys to do certain things.

Here are some of the basic shortcut keys and the special Fn key combinations on the Surface Book

keyboard.
