Type Cover 4 with Surface Pro 2

[shadowmon21]

I'm still happy with the SPro2 I bought a few years ago, however, the new type covers (3,4) look a lot better. Will they work with my SPro2?

yes they will work, but won't fit ur tablet properly (it will stick out a bit)

Odd
I asked this very question on the Microsoft Store and was told by Microsoft Team that:

"No, Surface Pro 2 is not compatible with the Surface Pro 4 Type Cover."

Buy Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Type Cover - Microsoft Store


EDIT: has anyone tried it?

I did just try it. I had to purchase the 4 for my new surface pro 4 because my sp2 keyboard is not yet compatible with the SP4. However I popped the SP4 keyboard on my SP2 and it works great.

Thanks verizonil, appreciate the feedback. Strange you know more about it than Microsoft itself

Hm.. Was considering picking up a cover 4 for my sp2 (I know it's overly big for it) just because the keyboard and mainly track pad are massively improved, the type cover 2's track pad was absolutely tragic; a stain on Microsoft's design history in my opinion.
