What is the Surface Dial?

The Surface Dial is a new input device from Microsoft. It’s a physical knob that you can place on your Surface device to perform various tasks. The Dial is unique in that it can be used on any surface, whether it’s a table, your lap, or even your hand. The Dial also supports haptic feedback, so you can feel a vibration when you press it.

How the Surface Dial works

Interaction with the Surface Dial is done by holding it with your fingers and rolling it, tapping it or long pressing to get different results. The Surface Dial has a haptic (tactile) feedback that lets you feel a “click” as you rotate it.

The Surface Dial recognizes when you place it down on a surface and automatically orients itself accordingly. Microsoft envisions users placing the Surface Dial on the screen next to their mouse pointer.

What the Surface Dial can do

Surface Dial is a completely new way to interact with technology and create in the most natural way. With one hand on your device and the other on Surface Dial, you can efficiently and effectively do everything from scrolling through a document to zooming in on a map.

Surface Dial also allows you to quickly access context-specific menus so that you can change the width of your brush stroke or the color of your ink with just a few clicks. With Surface Dial, you can spend less time fiddling with buttons and more time being creative.
