Use Microsoft Surface As A Trackpad For Mac

The trackpad on the touchcover2 was so awful, specially coming from a macbook air, I just couldnt take the harsh surface (pun intended) and finally decided to go alil radical and got myself the magic trackpad by apple. Its a great partner when working from the bed/table. Now, I can have the smooth and specially accurate trackpad at the perfect distance from my hand - scrolling feels like heaven, double tap/single tap, wah, what a life saver. Yes I know it ruins the whole idea of portability but when I am not moving around at work/on meetings, Apple's lil devil can make you be more efficient. I would seriously recommend you give it a try.
You gotta do alil unzipping/to get the trackpad driver from the bootcamp driver installer, you can always google that - use 7zip, its the only application which can unzip the installer to get you the driver file you need.
A special tweak that is a must do is changing/inverting the scrolling so that it feels natural:
1. Find the hardware ID of the mouse
Go to the mouse control panel
Select “Hardware” tab
Click “Properties” button
Select “Details” tab
From the drop-down list choose “Hardware IDs”
Save the VID*** entry ( e.g. VID_045E&PID_0039 )
2. Find and change the corresponding configuration settings in the registry
Run regedit.exe
Open Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumHID
Here you should find an entry for the hardware ID of your mouse
In all sub-keys of the hardware id key look for the “DeviceParameters” key and change the “FlipFlopWheel” value from 0 to 1
3. Make it work
Unplug the mouse
Count to five
Plug the mouse back in

Rather than drawing ink with your mouse, you can draw on your trackpad with your finger.

Apple’s previous flagship keyboard, the Smart Folio Keyboard for iPad Pro, does have a solid base, but no space for a trackpad.
