    Awesome Pen!

    The Microsoft Surface Slim Pen (2nd Edition) in Matte Black feels premium and comfortable in hand—the weight and matte finish make extended sketching or note-taking sessions easy. Its low-latency response and pressure sensitivity deliver precise strokes for drawing and handwriting, and tilt support makes shading feel natural. Pairing and the magnetic snap-to-charge with compatible Surface devices is seamless and incredibly convenient. The battery holds up well for daily use, and the matte black finish resists fingerprints. Overall, it's a fantastic accessory for Surface owners who want a responsive, well-built stylus for both creativity and productivity.

    Works great

    Works great with the surface pro. It sucks you have to pruchase separately, but it is a great pen.

    Works great with my 2012 Surface Studio

    Tilt and all features work as intended - except that this does NOT come with the charging cradle if you do not have a newer surface device... they also dont MAKE the cradle anymore. Which is required to be able to charge the pen. Had to buy it second hand. It would have been nice if this pen supported USB-C in these modern times. If I had more time to research, I would recommend a different pencil for anyone with older Surface devices.

    Necessary, but way too pricey

    if youre purchasing any surface product, the experience of most is exponentially better with the surface pen. Its not surprising since most of these products are made with the surface pen in mind. The feel, the buttons(which im not ashamed to say ive spent coutnless hours clicking for fun), the pressure sensitivity, tilt feature, I could go on. The "pencil feel" emulation with the haptic motor gives a nice feel, but isnt supported in most 3rd party writibg applications, and doesnt really feel like a pen. The way it rests and charges under my laptop studio 2 is also quite nice and handy(that magnet is also super strong! I coudlnt imagine losing it). And dont get me wrong, the surface pen 2 is a great pen that does everything it says, but its just way too pricey. Its included for some surface lines, but for the Laptop studio 2(which is what I have), why am I spending an extra $120 on top of the $2000 minimum that I spent for the computer? Especially for an product whose core selling point relies so heavily on the usage of a pen? Beyond crazy if you ask me. And a little less relevant, but my pen began to chip and "bubble" just after the warranty period ended. Maybe I got a defective batch but it is crazy for it to be this fragile with normal usage Bottom line, you should definitely factor in the price of the surface pen into your purchase of a surface device(as a good chunk of the appeal of those devices is the pen support); This pen will certainly elevate your experience with them. But it really is too expensive, and from my experience oddly fragile.

    Slim & Sleek

    It is slim and sleek. Worked right off the bat. Magnetic holder in the keyboard is convenient and appears to be strong in holding it in place. I was told the old Surface Book pen would not work with the Pro9, BUT IT DOES! I did not need to buy this but I am going to go ahead and keep it since I bought it as a bundle.

Questions & Answers
  • I think this would obviously pair with prior surfaces, but will the new features work on a Surface Pro 7?

    Thank you for the question. Surface Slim Pen 2 is compatible and allows tilt functionality with Surface Pro 7; however, zero force inking will only work when Surface Slim Pen 2 is used with Surface Pro 8, Surface Pro X, Surface Laptop Studio, and Surface Duo 2.
