Microsoft has also announced a Surface Pro 4 Type Cover with Fingerprint ID. The real proof of quality here is that I was rarely tempted to use the touchscreen while reviewing the Surface Pro 4 I find myself reaching out and scrolling and prodding with most other touchscreen laptops, but the Surface Pro 4's touchpad is so good, I barely even thought about the touchscreen when in laptop mode. It also means every tap, swipe and drag feels immediate, which is something I've only seen so far on a few other laptops that have also joined the Precision Touchpad scheme.

The first is that it supports gestures built directly into Windows, including the three-finger swipe gesture for opening the multitasking pop-up. It's Precision Touchpad branded, which gives it two distinct advantages. The touchpad is one of the finest examples I've seen. Soft furnishings on a device my hands will spend a lot of time touching seems odd, but looking at heavily used Surface Pro 3s from last year, the material seems to last pretty well. The Type Cover is made from a soft material, which is an equal measure of weird and comfortable. This makes sense to an extent the rest of the F keys are occupied by Print Screen, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down and Insert.

There are no skip or back buttons to be found.

You get a single media key in the form of Play/Pause on F3, which the next three buttons are occupied by volume controls. I'd have preferred screen brightness adjustment here. I'm personally not a fan of the buttons Microsoft has chosen for the top row: F1 and F2 are occupied by keyboard backlight adjustment buttons, which is odd.
