In many other applications, especially note taking applications, the S Pen button can be held down to change the tool, often to an eraser tool. It would be cool if support for the button could be added such that we can map some function to it(or just have it swap between the current tool and the eraser).

I just got a Samsung tablet and the spen integration with Miro is terrible. I’m looking for another app to use as Miro’s Team is still thinking about whether implementing such a basic functionality is worth it. Hopefully they will eventually implement it and bring me back to the platform.

Bumping up. Now, I use an additional note taking app instead of MIRO. I would love to get rid of it.

I miss so much this option to erase with the programable button.

 

The S-pen works like a charm, the normal functionality. Just the button is missing.

Currently, it is not possible to use the S Pen on a Samsung tablet to write in Miro, as the eraser button is not supported. This feature is just as important as the writing function itself.

 

I would love to use Miro for teaching, but without this capability, it becomes impractical. Every other writing app on my Samsung tablet fully supports the button, making this limitation even more noticeable. Additionally, the lack of this feature significantly slows down my workflow. By habit, I instinctively press the button to erase, only to realize it doesn’t work. This forces me to go through a tedious, multi-step process—manually selecting the eraser, making the corrections, and then switching back to the pen.

 

In online teaching, time management is especially important, as any unnecessary interruption—like having to go through extra steps just to erase something—disrupts the lesson’s flow. When teaching live, I need to be able to write and erase smoothly, just as I would on a physical whiteboard. These inefficiencies add up, making Miro simply not viable for this use case.

 

I am genuinely baffled that multiple users have requested this feature, including one post from four years ago, yet Miro has still not implemented it. Given how essential this functionality is for an effective digital writing experience, I sincerely hope the team prioritizes it in future updates.
