panos panay at the event said input is you know the big story here right all right keep growing up the covers keep going covered touch cover 2 120 at launch again it's exist it's colorful uh it is also one millimeter thinner than the last touch cover which makes it kind of paper thing and this one's really interesting they keep talking about like it's very book like mm-hmm um but yeah the big thing is there's a thousand ninety two sensors where the original had 80 mm so they're really trying to make it a much more tactile experience much more sensitive to price so the whole thing yes so the old one all the keys had individual sensor in them right and you could miss on this one now is effectively one gigantic touch sensor like a thousand ninety two sensors effectively means everything is sensitive to you if you miss a key it'll like do predictive typing it's very much like a touchscreen yeah and I kind of thought before they come out was like oh these sensors is the big reveal gonna be like they just change what it looks like the light up some key or they light up whatever's like right actually because there is a hint or something else happening there right but that turns out to be a separate piece of harbor altogether right the surface remix project yes the surface music covers the official hardware name okay and the whole thing together is a remix project yes and do we have to do that video we can roll yeah this this name is so crazy so it's not the touch cover it's actually a separate device you can buy for remix that looks cool yeah I mean so you use the xbox music app or special version mean that what that guy just did doesn't look cool I got it like this is the dude from Lincoln Park that's what I don't think he looks Johan yeah there's a lot I have a lot of problems with this already is it cuz it's Linkin Park yes I but let's disagree I mean it looks very interesting i'll say so this is music covered we have a price in this yet uh I didn't see a price yet i'll take a look though so here's the thing about this music cover and here's the thing about the touch cover so i think the power cover and the type cover are interesting products they like they add features that you need hardware to add right like you need hardware to add like if you're going to add a battery you got a like plugin a battery if you're going to add a keyboard to a tablet you got to plug in a keyboard you need like mechanical hardware to do these things right the touch covers they're racing towards building purpose-built like touched vices which is the whole point of having a touch screen in the first place right and I at some point and I look at these and that's great who's gonna buy this like 10 people are gonna buy this thing you can't have a market of like all kinds of different crazy touch plates right right i mean like are you gonna carry around 10 of them yeah you've got you've got an on-screen touchpad that does almost 1,100 different sensor points right I think that was cool but there's that wrong way you can if that one was reconfigurable or right did cool stuff which in here's here's my crazy theater theory there was a project at Microsoft called the curry go on it was a dual screen right that folded open like a book in the urge and you know it was famously cancelled we've been mourning the courrier ever since it would leaked and then Microsoft killed it right there getting the fear closing the gap the next step for Microsoft with its touch cover stuff without question is building a reconsider reconfigurable touch cover that lights up in different ways that is perhaps another screen right the Hat is a sensitive touch than she you know you click in the surface that's sir phrase you click in the surface and then this changes based on what app you're running here right that's where they that's where they're obviously going with this stuff like you I can't look at the type or the touch cover with a you know a thousand sensors in it eleven hundred sensors almost and have it just be a keyboard it seems like now that seems like the wrong it does feel at ease and I said like they're gonna just like make it like you can change it a life
