Microsoft officially presented the second-generation Surface tablet earlier this month and together with it, the company also introduced a new range of accessories, including a revamped Touch Cover capable of providing increased productivity.

Still, acting as both a keyboard and a protecting cover, the Touch Cover 2 comes with improved accuracy and faster typing speed, thus making it easier for Surface owners to turn their tablets into a full laptop in just a second.

What’s more, in this video scientist Stevie Bathiche from the Surface team shows that swiping across the keyboard has also been significantly improved thanks to better gesture support.

The Touch Cover 2 is only compatible with the second-generation Surface tablet (including the Surface 2 and the Surface Pro 2), but also with the original Pro model that can also be updated to Windows 8.1.
