The Signature Edition Type Covers also come in three different and better-looking colors - platinum, cobalt blue, and burgundy - while the regular version is only available in black. The plastic on the regular Type Cover doesn't feel bad, but it also certainly doesn't feel good. But I think most people will agree that it feels great, at least when it's new. How you feel about the way Alcantara looks is a personal preference. It's an exceptionally slight difference when you consider that you'll probably be using your Surface PC for at least a couple of years. The cost is relatively small if you buy through Amazon. So is the Alcantara Type Cover worth the extra cash?Ībsolutely.
In my experience, the lighter color Alcantara accessories show more wear than the darker colors, so keep that in mind if you want to make a purchase. However, they are also relatively easy to clean, which can go a long way toward extending the lifespan. And after a year or so of use, my platinum Pro and Go keyboards definitely show signs of age. Of course, I've read numerous reports that suggest Alcantara does not hold up well at all over time. It's soft, and my palms don't stick to it, even when they're all swampy. After using the different versions, these are my thoughts. I bought versions of both for my Pros and my Go, to see which ones I liked better. Microsoft offers only a couple different official Type Covers for the Surface Pro, Surface Pro X and Surface Go: the regular ol' plastic-y Surface Type Cover and the fancier (and pricier) Surface Pro Signature Edition Type Cover with Alcantara. And in most cases, it doesn't cost that much more.Pro-like luxury: Surface Pro Signature Type Cover (opens in new tab) (From $132 at Amazon)Cheaper but not as nice: Surface Pro Type Cover (opens in new tab) (From $90 at Amazon)Go in style: Surface Go Signature Type Cover (opens in new tab) (From $95 at Amazon)Go without Alcantara: Surface Go Type Cover (opens in new tab) (From $93 at Amazon)That Alcantara X Factor (with Pen): Surface Pro X Signature Type Keyboard with Slim Pen (opens in new tab) ($201 at Amazon)No Alcantara for your X keyboard: Surface Pro X Keyboard (opens in new tab) ($107 at Amazon) To Alcantara, or not to Alcantara?

It makes the keyboard cover feel much more high-end than the rubbery-feeling regular Type Cover and adds a touch of luxury.
