Microsoft Surface Accessories

Today, Microsoft announced two new additions to the Surface family — a collection of limited-edition Touch Covers designed by guest artists and a new Wedge Touch Mouse created specifically for the Surface RT and Pro tablets. Both accessories are up for grabs starting Feb. 9, the same day the Surface Pro hits shelves.

The Touch Cover Limited Edition Collection ($130) adds some personal style to the Surface, with custom laser-etched designs created by three very different artists. The covers will be available in red, magenta, or cyan and, like the normal Touch Cover, feature a smooth touch-sensitive keyboard, built-in trackpad, and open-to-wake, close-to-sleep functionality.

To enhance the Surface laptop experience even further, Microsoft also introduced a Wedge Touch Mouse ($70), a wireless mouse that looks and feels like the Surface's VaporMg casing and features four-way touch scrolling for easy navigation.
