Microsoft said Monday that its productivity-enhancing Surface Power Cover will begin shipping in a few days—and the extra battery life will cost you a couple hundred bucks.
Specifically, the Power Cover will cost $199 when it begins shipping on March 19, according to a Microsoft Store listing. The keyboard accessory will work with the Surface 2, the Surface Pro, and the Surface Pro 2.
Like the name suggests, the Power Cover includes a secondary battery, designed to extend the tablet’s battery life further. A spokesman for Microsoft declined to specify the exact capacity of the onboard battery, but the Microsoft product page says that it will weigh in at 0.55 pounds. It will also lack the back-lit keys that the other Surface keyboards include.
