In Microsoft's first patent, the tablet support mechanism is built into the keyboard, and users can pull it out of the keyboard and then fold it to provide support for the Surface series tablets, but the keyboard seems to lack the touchpad.

Next is the patent of hinge cover, which designs a hinge on the keyboard to support the equipment. Users can also use it as a closed hinge cover to protect the back of the tablet computer without affecting the display function on the tablet computer. These two patent applications were filed on 20 14 and 10, but it is uncertain whether Microsoft can launch a Surface keyboard with this design.
