Microsoft Surface Touch Cover 2 with Backlighting Black

The sensors also allow for a major new feature - the entire surface of the cover can be used for touch gestures. Microsoft didn't give more details, but it sounds like you'll be able to use the entire cover like a giant trackpad. Its physical construction is more rigid than last year's model. Impressively, Microsoft also built a backlight into the Touch Cover 2 and managed to make it 2mm thinner at the same time.
