This pen is heavier than a normal pen, and sometimes the buttons get in my way. It's also a little costly, and I have a tendency to loose things but so far I have been lucky. As a student, the pen is a MUST and should come with the Surface. This pen is connected by Bluetooth to your tablet, which may take more battery but honestly the battery lasts me 6-8 hours so its not a big deal. I just re-read the description and see it says "over 250 levels of pressure sensitivity and Palm Block technology", I'm not sure what this is really about...all I know is that it does what I want it to do! I love that OneNote knows the difference between my finger and the pen so I can scroll with my fingers and write with the pen (on the old surface I had to change to "type" every time I needed to scroll or it just scribbled all over the sides of my notes).

I like the MS Note function on the top of the pen, but wish it was also an eraser. The two buttons on the side, are hard to get used to...no natural way to press buttons while using pen. The material and weight is great...doubt it is scratch resistant. I have used digitizer pens for many years so I know the tip will get worn out easily. I have used mine for 6 months but don't have any visible wear and tear yet. Nowhere to connect to the Surface chassis. The pen loop does the job, but is not aesthetically pleasing at all. The pen does magnetically connect to the "base" if you're using the Surface with no keyboard or no cover. Overall good product; but at the regular retail price of $50 is pretty steep, so keep a good track of it.

The product is just about the greatest stylus I've ever used. The angles at which one can write/draw, the feeling/feedback that one experiences, even the weighting of the device all make for a great experience altogether. I've used many a styli, as well as every type of stylus. Including Microsoft's Surface Pen (albeit the older generation and not the new one released with the Surface Pro 4, so I cannot compare to it), Samsung's S-pen (3 generations, both tablet and phone iterations), and all of the regular to specialized tipped capacitive styli. None compare to the Apple Pencil. It is, admittedly, stupidly expensive, but it is also the best device if it's kind in my experience and humble opinion.
