Updated versions of the Surface's cover accessories are available for the Surface 2; the Touch Cover 2 and Type Cover 2 are slightly thinner than the previous versions and now include a "dynamic" backlight system.
The Touch Cover 2 has over 1,092 sensors on it compared to just 80 on the original Touch Cover.
The keyswitch length of the Type Cover 2 have been reduced from 2.5 mm to 1.5 mm.
A new Power Cover accessory was also available to add 30 Wh additional battery capacity to the device.
Accompanying the Touch Cover 2 and Type Cover 2 was a wireless adapter that allows them to be connected up to 30 feet away via Bluetooth.
An updated kickstand can now be tilted at a 55-degree angle alongside the original 22-degree angle.
During its unveiling, Microsoft also showcased the Music Cover; a variation of the Touch Cover that serves as a DJ mixer with playback controls, a 16-button sampler, and three sliders.
While mainstream public release has been announced, it will be distributed to musicians through the Surface Remix Project campaign.
