Use the touchpad

Protect your screen
When you're finished using your Surface Pro, fold Surface Pro Signature Type Cover over the front of the screen to make it sleep and keep it safe from scratches and damage. When you're ready to use it again, open Surface Pro Signature Type Cover and press the power button to wake up your Surface.
Care for Surface Pro Signature Type Cover
To keep the material looking like new, gently wipe with a slightly damp, lint free white cloth (to avoid color transfer) or screen cleaning wipe.
If you spill something on the material, try to clean the stain off within 30 minutes to help prevent it from setting. For most stains, a simple solution of warm water and mild soap (like hand soap) will do. Using swirling motions, gently clean using a clean, white, lint free cloth dampened with the soap solution, and then wipe dry using a clean lint free cloth.
