Surface Dial is a peripheral designed to help you optimize the way you work and create. It’s also compatible with desktops, laptops, and tablets running Windows 10 with support of Bluetooth LE (Low Energy). Using simple presses and turns this accessory can bring up the most used shortcuts, controls, drawing tools, and more to keep you focus on your work, instead of spending time thinking on keyboard shortcuts or menu navigations. Although the Surface Pro 4 has a smaller display, adding on-screen support for Surface Dial is still a welcome addition.
