What Is the Microsoft Surface Pro Keyboard (8XB-00199)?
The Microsoft Surface Pro Keyboard in Platinum (Part Number: 8XB-00199) is an essential productivity accessory designed to transform your high-performance Surface Pro tablet into a full-featured commercial laptop. Engineered specifically for corporate and retail users in the Middle East, this model features factory-engraved English and Arabic key caps to support effortless bilingual communication in professional workspaces across the UAE.
Constructed with premium materials, it integrates a full mechanical key set, optimal key spacing for swift typing, variable LED backlighting, and a large precision glass touchpad. Additionally, it features an integrated, magnetic storage tray that securely docks and wirelessly charges the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen when not in use.

- Facilitates Native Bilingual Workflow: Dual-printed English/Arabic characters allow local professionals to switch input languages instantly without using temporary keyboard stickers.
- Protects Your Display: When closed, the durable folding cover acts as a protective shield for your Surface Pro screen during travel.
