difference between type and touch

I have had both, and the main advantage of the touch cover is that it is more care-free: it is spill-proof, and it can be washed and kept clean easily. I tend to use it when I take the Surface outdoors, so I don't have to give much thought to where I'm setting it down in an open position. It also feels a little better to my fingers-grasp when held in an open position. Both keyboards are thin and light, reliable/durable, and the keys of both de-activate when the covers are folded back.

Type is the to be pictured above, it has actual buttons. The touch is the touch sensitive one that is thinner and lighter but doesn't work as well.

Hi. The black keyboard feels like a real keyboard. You get the feeling of depressing the key, and the sound and response of a regular keyboard. There is no delay and no "did I press the key?" thoughts. The pink keyboard ("touch") is a less expensive option, but there is no keyboard feel, and I found myself having to carefully type each letter, then checking to make sure it was recorded. The bottom line is that black=touch-typing; pink=slow-typing. Go with the real keyboard.

Touch is a touchscreen- like keyboard that senses your finger tips, Type is a laptop like tactile keyboard were you actually push buttons down with a nice click of the key.

I believe the touch cover is more sensitive, allowing you to type faster ... at least that's my take on it. The claim is that it is 2 times faster which I doubt. However, if you do a lot of typing or data entry, it then may be worth getting a touch cover.

Hello! The touch screen works off an optical method, if you are touching the screen in other places at the same time it will confuse the touch points you want specifically.

Sometimes sellers will list the "touch screen" as just the glass that you physically touch. The "digitizer" is the sheet of sensors under the glass that register the touch. With either one, just make sure the other is included and you'll be good.

The word touch has been dropped by the manufacturer..... Atlas is the brand name and the 370 is the style number.

Janet, I get the benefit of both the touch screen element, as well as using the keyboard. Just had my new one installed yesterday, by the Geek Squad. Nicely done!Enjoy both devices.

The type of digitizer is different allowing for the use of the stylus. You can't use a stylus without a special type. I think there is some S pen software, but other than that nothing.

The stylus replaces all actions that your fingertips would perform. Be sure to have the rubber tip touch the screen. If you are using an App that allows for freehand writing, you may want to check with the App to see what it recognizes or what needs to be used to "write" in the App. Hope this helps...

When texting or playing a game, etc. it makes very few mistakes. Using my fingers is always hard to text. So I use a stylus to make it easier.

The VSD220's optical type touch will work with paint programs that are geared more towards the use of a finger but might have some lag when it comes to quick strokes. Touch devices with no pressure sensors depend on stroke speed rather than pressure to create thick or fine lines. A stylus will work with the device.

It's the same. The LCD is touchscreen. Both functions are perform by a single item.

I think that the two major differences (beside visual design) is how you get your phone out and positioning. The "One Touch" has a two buttons that you press to get the phone out, so basically you can get your phone with one hand. For the "Easy View", you have to use both hands to get your phone out, hold the phone with one and pull one side of the mount to get you phone out. Regarding how can you position the mount, I am just expanding in what L.Jong told you, the "One Touch" has two levers that let you position the base up and down, as well as rotate and tilt the phone, so you can move the phone to a place that fits your needs. As for the "Easy View", you can rotate 360, but only tilt your phone to some degree. The suction cups are the same, made with the same sticky/flexible material that attaches to almost everything (don't put armor-all in you dashboard). I have both mounts, and they work great. So, I think it just depends on what design you like better.

The touch screen does not work well. I was very disappointed with how hard it was to make any selections. If you are expecting a similar touch experience like that of a cellphone today, then you'll be disappointed.

I do not understand the question - the pen is a pen with ink and it writes on paper - the stylus is a stylus used on a touch screen with apps to make selections. The pen should not used on the touch screen unless you want to damage the screen.

No, the touch and type keyboards are sold separately as accessories. If you're looking at buying one, I'd recommend the Type Cover 2. You can find them here - http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/accessories/browse#accessories1

Glass and Sensor type. Here is an article: http://www.ronbenmultimedia.com/support/A-Z-knowledge-about-tablet-PC-capacitive-touchscreen.htm

I am certainly not a touch typist but I have never experienced any noticeable lag between typing on the keyboard and seeing the characters appear on the display. Assuming there is not some other OS or software issue I don't think you'll be able to out-type the keyboard/display combination.

What is "capacitive touchscreen"?In the cell phone industry there are two major categories of touchscreen displays: capacitive touchscreens and resistive touchscreens. Capacitive touchscreen displays rely on the electrical properties of the human body to detect when and where on a display the user touching. Because of this, capacitive displays can be controlled with very light touches of a finger and generally cannot be used with a mechanical stylus or a gloved hand. Examples of devices with capacitive touchscreens are the Apple iPhone and the T-Mobile G1.
