Exactly as advertised. A neat little peripheral that you can program. Key commands to the press, left turn, and right turn functions. Works nicely for art as I can use it with my off hand to adjust brush sizes and swap between tools.

I review engineering prints almost everyday in my job. I would love a surface AIO but I only have the surface book. But I still love this device. I use it constantly to change weights of the ink, zoom, and scroll constantly. If you mark up pdfs I can definitely recommend this.. But I don't know about artists or anything like that because I am the farthest thing from that.
We're so glad you're loving the Surface Dial in combination with your Surface Book. Thanks for sharing with the community some of your favorite features that allow you to stay in the flow. We're thrilled we're able to help you accomplish more in all your endeavors!

Great dial but in new surface book 3, the dial does not seem to have the screen interaction. Good item, more of an issue with new surface hardware, so nothing against the dial.

While I haven’t had that breakthrough moment with the puck, it is a useful tool to have alongside the Surface Studio when it is at an angle for drawing and I am primarily using the pen. The puck is a lot smaller than I thought it would be but it stays put with its rubber base and at least gives me a simple way to zoom in and out while drawing. It is only as good as the support provided by the various applications being used but it seems to have a lot of potential.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience of Surface Dial with the community. We're glad you're enjoying the way this unique tool is helping you navigate your Surface Studio.

I know this is meant for artistic purposes but I bought this as a volume knob for when I listen to Spotify premium. It works well and has a high quality feel to it. It will default to scrolling when you open and close things. Very easy to get it back to controlling the volume. Never used sticky underside. Would buy again!

This accessory is very innovative, but a little ahead of its time. It needs some more app support and third party applications that work along side of it. For the apps that it does work with it is awesome.

Bought this for my son who does digital art. He loves it, he called it a real game changer! He uses it to scroll through and choose different art tools and to "undo" when he makes a mistake, and to zoom in on different parts of the screen.
