Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The device itself is so well built and textured/dial weighted. The dial feels terrific. This is a great little gadget to own, but it's not quite a can't live without it gadget.

It lets you fly through a bunch of changes in formatting, be it to a document or to a photoshop image. It adds enjoyment to using the tablet! And lastly, brightness of no significance for it makes colors as it should if you were mixing them by hand, o...  Read More



Cons

It turns at a specific pace and will stop as soon as rotational force is no longer being applied by the user. The fatal flaw though is that at least with my computer if you leave it alone for about 30s-1m it goes to sleep and then takes about 5-10s to...  Read More

Highlights

Quality


Works great in conjunction with the stylus on my surface pro 7, which is really where it shines.


I think it shines when you are working with the pen, because then you have the other hand to use the dial and it makes most sense.


With the stylus, this is not the tool for you.


Good quality but i think i don't need it.

Price


Yes there is a learning curve, yes there is zn adaptation lag but, yes it is well worth the effort and price.


The price will keep people away, however.

Competitiveness


I had a previous 3-star review, complaining about the connectivity.

    If you stick to the original setup i think it has limited use


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It will be a very expensive knob to control volume brightness or scrolling


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You have to invest in setting it up and imagine ways it could be useful for you


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The setup could be faster and better if you could simply type the keyboard shortcut instead of a dropdown with limited combinations


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Functions are somewhat limited with the exception of a few graphic apps but hopefully there will be more support roll out over time


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I was looking for a trackpad keyboard that would allow me to kickback with my feet on the desk or sit upright ergo style…something versatile and i ended up scratching my head and understanding that there is a huge gap in the marketplace for a trackpadshortcut interactive device for windows


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Lots of shortcuts while barely moving my hands


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I looked at purchasing the magic keyboard trackpad the bridge but it’s still not cross functionalnative without paying for a license or lots of hacksdownloads
