Best answer: No! Unfortunately for current Surface Pro Type Cover owners, the Surface Pro 8 uses an all-new connector due to the new design and shape. It does, however, work with the newer Surface Pro X Type Cover. You'll have to grab the new $99 Surface Pro Type Cover if you want to hammer out some docs on this thing.
