Surface Touch Cover 2: Thinner and Sensitive Under Pressure
The new gestures are useful for moving the cursor around and a few other things within documents.
I want the whole keyboard to be a trackpad.
Heck yes. That would be awesome.
especially since I hear that, at the Panos Panay events, if you preorder before he leaves, you get a free Touch Cover. It will save me some money, that's for sure.
That was true at Los Angeles event, but I procrastinated too long, and they said the deal left with him (basically). I'm still on the fence between touch cover 2 an type cover 2. Thing is, I really want the battery one, but it's gonna be a while before that ships... I'm wondering if the touch cover would be better for playing games (fps); apparently I must keep running to the right, cause my d key is wearing out on my keyboard..

it was the old version they were giving away anyway.
Any update on this?
I have my touch cover 2 and the edge gesture plus moving the cursor doesn't work.
There are quite a few gestures, some pretty cool.
