Microsoft will release updates to enable Surface Dial to support more devices

Tencent Digital (Compiled: Bear) at the Microsoft conference last week, in addition to the Surface Studio one machine, another Surface Dial accessories should also be welcomed by many designers and artists. Although the Surface Studio all-in-one will not be available until December, the Surface Dial seems to be shipping from November 10th. As for why Microsoft wants Surface Dial to be available before Surface Studio, the reason is very simple, because it can be compatible with devices that think of Windows 10 systems, especially Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book, which are already on the market, can use Surface Dial, even directly. Operate on the screen.

When Microsoft showed Surface Dial for the first time at the press conference, we seemed to have a feeling of déjà vu. Yes, Surface Dial is similar to the previous Griffin PowerMate, which is a control product for the Mac platform, from multimedia playback to artistic application creation. But although the Surface Dial is somewhat similar to the Griffin PowerMate, it is significantly different.

Unlike PowerMate, Surface Dial can be used directly on the screen, and in addition to providing a practical feel, this method allows designers to perform visual operations directly on the screen. Therefore, the designer does not need to guess whether the color he chooses is accurate or not, and can use the Surface Dial to select the most desired color. Of course, Surface Dial may sacrifice a part of the screen space, but from its contribution, such a compromise is not important.

Of course, not everyone will buy Surface Studio, so Microsoft has also extended the Surface Dial user base to Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book. In the future, Microsoft will perform a firmware upgrade for both devices. After the upgrade, Surface Dial can also operate on the screens of Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book.

However, Microsoft said that this upgrade should not be launched until early 2017. It seems that Surface Pro and Surface Book users who are interested in Surface Dial need to wait patiently for some time. In addition, Microsoft did not say whether Surface Dial will be compatible with the previous generation of Surface Pro 3, and this $99 (approx. RMB 670) accessory will be officially launched next week.
