Microsoft should release their own multi-touch touchpad with this tech and call it the Surface Touchpad or something along those lines. Basically their equivalent of the Apple Magic Trackpad. It's what I miss when I've got my Surface Book docked, having come from a MBP/Magic Trackpad setup.
- BillinghamJ 10y agoThe trackpads built into the Surface computers are still nowhere near the level of Apple's.
- basch 10y agothe Pro and Book have completely different trackpads.
- BillinghamJ 10y agoI have used both.
- Klathmon 10y agoI disagree, having used both the Surface trackpads are honestly my favorite. The only thing I wish they had was more customizable software
- wluu 10y agoWhile you can configure a few things [1], I wish there were more options. [1] https://www.thurrott.com/mobile/microsoft-surface/7232/surface-book-tip-master-the-touchpad https://www.thurrott.com/mobile/microsoft-surface/7232/surfa...
- zbrozek 10y agoIndeed they should! I'd like to have a good pointer that I can glue to my keyboard and use leaned back. I'd also like to configure what the gestures mean; there's no way to make three finger tap act like middle click. I use a Surface Pro 4. Microsoft has been very heavy handed about insisting you gesture only the way they want you to gesture. I really don't need a gesture to launch an already-disabled Cortana.
- wluu 10y agoYou can set three finger tap to do "nothing" instead of Cortana. You just need to goto the touchpad settings screen.

Wish there were other things I could set it to though.
