Review on πŸ”˜ Enhance Your Microsoft Surface Experience with the Innovative Surface Dial by Justin Vasquez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for scrolling

I'm using this with a Surface Pro 6 and when I'm not drawing with the Surface Pen I usually use it for scrolling. When drawing in recent applications, you can easily change colors, tools and other variables that may vary depending on the application you use. I think a popular use in a drawing application might be to change the gradation on the dial with the left hand while drawing with the stylus with the right hand. You can change the behavior by holding the button for a few seconds. It's responsive and not overly sensitive, where even the slightest accidental touch can move it. The bottom cover is the result of a clever design with a strong magnet that snaps into place and opens easily for battery replacement. No, it won't open easily if you push it firmly on the glass surface. The underside can get dusty pretty quickly and lose some grip so I use a small amount of tape to remove the dust and it becomes tacky again. Surface, but if not, like me, you might just end up using it as a fancy scroll wheel. In conclusion, the researchers and engineers behind this product have done an amazing job on the tactile usability!
