    Useful little tool

    While I haven’t had that breakthrough moment with the puck, it is a useful tool to have alongside the Surface Studio when it is at an angle for drawing and I am primarily using the pen. The puck is a lot smaller than I thought it would be but it stays put with its rubber base and at least gives me a simple way to zoom in and out while drawing. It is only as good as the support provided by the various applications being used but it seems to have a lot of potential.

    I know this is meant for artistic purposes but I bought this as a volume knob for when I listen to Spotify premium. It works well and has a high quality feel to it. It will default to scrolling when you open and close things. Very easy to get it back to controlling the volume. Never used sticky underside. Would buy again!

    This accessory is very innovative, but a little ahead of its time. It needs some more app support and third party applications that work along side of it. For the apps that it does work with it is awesome.

    Bought this for my son who does digital art. He loves it, he called it a real game changer! He uses it to scroll through and choose different art tools and to "undo" when he makes a mistake, and to zoom in on different parts of the screen.

    Disconnects CONSTANTLY

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have to either keep taking the batteries out and put it back in or, pair it via blue tooth despite it already being connected, I have total tech and I just missed the opportunity to turn it in for a free refund. So I’ve had it a little over 60 days. I’m an animator and I use Krita on a surface studio 2 plus, and man this thing is so faulty. Can’t believe I spent $100 on this. Maybe it’s just mine, but absolutely not worth the money even if it did work. Really disrupts my work flow/rhythm
