Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this to use with my surface book 2 for photoshop and indesign. It seems like a glorified mouse with limited capabilities. I’ve looked all over online to see if I can find better ways to use it in these programs and so far, no luck. O also saw that it works in sketchup, but it doesnt seems to do anything but zoom in/out. If I find out it’s user error I will update this review. I gave it 3 stars since I think it might be good for people who use it for illustration.

Works great just not as useful on the surface as it would be on the studio.

I have to either keep taking the batteries out and put it back in or, pair it via blue tooth despite it already being connected, I have total tech and I just missed the opportunity to turn it in for a free refund. So I’ve had it a little over 60 days. I’m an animator and I use Krita on a surface studio 2 plus, and man this thing is so faulty. Can’t believe I spent $100 on this. Maybe it’s just mine, but absolutely not worth the money even if it did work. Really disrupts my work flow/rhythm

It's great for applications that have specific functions for it. Otherwise, it's just another mouse button for your other hand.

Nicely constructed. Looks to simple. I am pleased to own a surface with all the wonderful accessories that are available. Devices I never thought of. I like the fact that there are so many cool devices within the Surface family.

The Microsoft Surface Dial is one of the coolest accessories that you can get with a Microsoft Surface or to simply use with a computer equipped with Windows 10. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

We purchased this to make editing easier for our projects. It has done it's job and is all we can ask of it

I never used before. It is easy and quick to work with. You can use both hand to go faster in your needs.

Purchased for my wife to use with Adobe products. I know it can be used with other software. So far so good.

It's a great tool, but on a 15-inch screen it does not work for me. Look for everything to use it, but I could not adapt. When I have my Surface Studio, it will be a purchase. Right now, with the pencil is enough. Many accessories overwhelm me. Mouse, pencil, Dial, touch screen, trackpad mm, it's too much. For me it was not useful.

This dial does well in Lightroom and photoshop but doesn’t have much ingenuity anywhere else.

I'm waiting it has fresco support. It's just a toy, a really expensive one...

Still trying it out. Lots to learn. I haven’t had enough time to experiment with the dial. So far I’m having fun.

My Wife had to have this for her surface! I have no earthly idea what this thing does, but she just NEEDED it. I think it still might be in the box. Its a cool metal round thing.

I brought the Microsoft Dial for my husband for Christmas. He loves it, it make an awesome tool for drawing on his surface. He can now zoom me to view every detail of his drawings. If you are an artist this is a must have.

I love it but I need to get more utility out it. Still trying to figure out all it can do. But love it so far.

Provides creative features like scrolling through, adjusting volume, zoom in/out and adjusting brightness!

The Surface Dial is a very useful tool when going through long documents and using it when I am drawing. Although there are a limited number of applications that it can be used with, if you are able to get used to those apps you will greatly increase your work efficiency.

I look forward to more software programs making full use of this UI.

The dial is very nice quality and can be used for a multitude of different programs and operations. You can also customize different presets for different preferences
