SURFACE DIAL
A NEW TOOL FOR THE CREATIVE PROCESS
Surface Dial is a completely new way to interact with technology and create in the most natural, immersive way. Store, customize, access, navigate, and reimagine physical tools in the digital world – from concept to creation
TRANSITION SEAMLESSLY THROUGH TASKS
Press and hold Surface Dial to display a radial menu of tools, making it easier and faster to do the things you love your way, while supporting your workflow.
SIMPLIFY ACTIONS
Make everyday tasks simple and fun. Adjust the volume on your favorite Groove track. Scroll through news articles without touching your keyboard or mouse. Fly through your local city in Windows Maps.
PARTNERS WITH PEN
With Surface Dial in one hand and Surface Pen in the other, you can unlock your creativity with easy access to shortcuts, controls, drawing tools, and more.
USE DIRECTLY ON SCREEN
When used with Surface Studio, Surface Pro, and Surface Book 2, Surface Dial allows you to reimagine the way you design. Place it directly on the screen and watch as a color picker or ruler magically appears on your digital drafting table.
