A stylus and improved keyboard

On the other hand, the TypeCover has also gained some improvements, as the keys are now further apart to mimic the feel of a normal keyboard, and the touchpad is 40% larger than the previous one. In addition, it will also be compatible with the Surface Pro 3.
And lastly, it is compatible with the new dock station, which adds four USB 3.0 ports, two Display Ports with support for 4K displays, and a Gigabit Ethernet network port.
