Bought this when our son was getting surface book 2. The dial has a great range - you can use it from a different room. With a be click and rotation it takes over from the mouse - the programme software is key for functions available. Really like the dial and would recommend.

When I learned the Surface Dial can be used with my non-Surface Windows 10 PC, I bought it as a perfect solution to having a volume knob to mute and control the volume as I listen to video with widely varying volumes between program segments and advertisements. And it does many other tricks as well.

Very accurate control when the options to use it are available

Needs more developer support for options

When Microsoft announced the all-in-one Surface Studio last October, the company also unveiled a new input device called the Surface Dial. The Dial is designed to work with the Studio, either sitting on the desk or being placed directly on the screen.
