  To a compact oriented surface of genus at most one with boundary, we
associate a quantized $K$-theoretic Coulomb branch in the sense of Braverman,
Finkelberg, and Nakajima. In the case where the surface is a three- or
four-holed sphere or a one-holed torus, we describe a relationship between this
quantized Coulomb branch and the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of the surface.
We formulate a general conjecture relating these algebras.
