From the manufacturer

Reimagine the way you create

Surface Dial was designed to transform the way you create. It optimizes your workflow by bringing your most used tools directly onto your digital workspace. Store, customize, access, navigate, and reimagine physical tools in the digital world—from concept to creation. Surface Dial helps you focus on your work instead of spending time on keyboard shortcuts, switching between screens, and moving back-and-forth between palette and canvas.

Tools and shortcuts for your creative process

Surface Dial provides the tools and shortcuts to make the creative process more productive and enjoyable. Just press and hold to display a radial menu of tools, making it easier and faster to do the things you love in applications like Adobe Creative Cloud, Mental Canvas Player, Bluebeam Revu, MohoTM12, Sketchable, StaffPad, and more. Now you can undo each individual line of a drawing step-by-step, change pencil color or brush size, scrub through video content, rotate 3D vectors or manipulate parameters, all in a single turn. It’s the simplest, most intuitive way to unlock your creativity.

Dial in your creativity and control

Your creative experience is even further enhanced when Surface Dial is used on-screen with Surface Studio. Place your Dial directly on the screen and watch as a color picker or a ruler appears on your digital drafting table. Tools change when you switch across integrated apps and haptic feedback gives you greater control by providing helpful vibrations into your fingertips. Use Surface Dial in your non-dominant hand while keeping your dominant hand for drawing, creating new vectors, making animations, and more. Everything has been engineered to help you stay totally in touch with your work.

Dynamic tools make daily tasks efficient and fun

With Surface Dial, even the little things feel more fun. Adjust the volume on your Spotify tracks, scroll through articles on your favorite news websites without touching your keyboard or mouse. Fly through your local city in Windows Maps, zooming in and out while panning across the touchscreen with your fingers. Every task is more enjoyable and efficient.

    Customers like the scrolling speed of the graphic tablet. They mention it's excellent for scrolling, much better than scrolling via trackpad, and a really good way to toggle scrolling. The product feels great to use and provides smooth control. It's great for finely manipulating Photoshop sliders, and provides a tool for scrolls vertically.

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the graphic tablet. Some mention that it works really well, responds well, and complements perfectly the Surface.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un dispositivo poco común pero práctico.
    Reviewed in Mexico on January 26, 2023
    Adquirí este dispositivo, como Microsoft lo llama, Dial o "rueda" sinceramente por curiosidad. Me pareció algo extraño y curioso, y aunque fue lanzado al mercado desde hace varios años, quise probarlo con mis dispositivos Surface. Soy cliente de Surface desde la Pro 4, misma que todavía conservo, y una Surface Laptop 4.

    Con la primera, se puede colocar sobre la pantalla y ofrece menús contextuales dependiendo de la app que esté en uso; con la segunda, por obvias razones no puede ser colocada sobre la pantalla pero se puede usar como "un botón físico sobre la mesa"... simplemente basta presionarlo durante 1 segundo para que aparezcan las opciones del menú contextual. Mientras uno utiliza el Surface pen, con la otra mano puede acceder a las opciones o simplemente subir o bajar el volumen de tu app de música.

    Hasta ahora, todo excelente. Ya incluye las baterías y la configuración es sumamente sencilla de realizar.
    El Surface Dial llegó perfectamente sellado y protegido. Llegó antes de la fecha programada.

    Lo seguiré probando y en caso de algún problema actualizaré los comentarios.
    Gracias por leer.
