I love both my Huion tablets. In particular, I am quite attached to my Huion Kamvas Pro 16, now that I have been using it for a few weeks. However, there was always one catch, not enough buttons and dials. Now, I have bought myself the Huion Keydial Mini. This was the missing piece of the puzzle I had been searching for.
Please note: I purchased this product myself and this review is completely independent of Huion.
Huion Keydial Mini — What is it?
Huion Keydial Mini combines 18 keys with a dial controller. It can be used as an ordinary one-handed keyboard by setting up functions for each key, and a shortcut remote by setting up key combination functions. Using the dial controller that supports Radial mode can greatly increase your work efficiency. It means I can add all the functions I want to more buttons. The dial is set for both zoom in and out and increases/decreases brush size.
Huion Keydial Mini — Why do you need it?
It doesn’t seem to matter how many buttons dials are on a tablet; there is never enough. The Keydial Mini is fantastic for adding all the extra functions without having to use a keyboard. Due to the size of the Kamvas Pro 16, I cannot have the keyboard on the desktop at the same time, so having just the tablet and the Keydial Mini is the perfect combination.
Pros
- Easy to use and install
- Terrific size
- Love the little stickers, so helpful
- Solid and robust, yet still lightweight
Cons
None … there is nothing about this product I didn’t like.
Huion Keydial Mini — How do you use it?
You simply plug it into the PC via USB or Bluetooth (I use a cable as my PC doesn’t have Bluetooth) and download the drive. I was a bit concerned at first as it said I had to uninstall my current drive but it’s fine, as you can just swap display interfaces on the PC. Open the driver interface select the keys or functions you want and you’re good to go. It even comes with handy stickers for various functions and blanks so you can write your own.

Pen Tablet, Pen Display, Pen Computer — to be honest not 100% sure if it is just Huion Products, but I think it could easily be used with other brands too. I have the Huion tablet and the Keydial Mini together and it is a brilliant flawless system.
