    This pen is excellent for my surface pro 7+. I love it! The battery life is very long! Very easy to use. Writes just like a pen/pencil. I love the touch options (pressing the eraser part) to take me to apps on the device. Very nice function. 10/10!

    Do You Really Need It Maybe, Should You Buy It Yes

    Do you really need it? Maybe. Should you buy it? Yes! If you are new to the Surface product line then you need to experience all it has to offer and that includes the Surface Pen. The Surface line up offers many ala cart add-ons and options one of which is the Surface Pen. With the ability to physically (digitally) write on your Surface it is worth investing in the Surface Pen even if it is not a part of your daily routine. What you need to keep in mind is the Surface Pen is far more than your typical stylus. Its customizable buttons are great shortcut tools for taking screen shots or navigating through presentations. You can reprogram them for various different actions in most of your applications. Bottom line is the Surface Pen is not necessarily a novelty accessory it can be a great tool but you also need to take a few minutes to learn how it will best work for you. Check out YouTube for some great tips, tricks and hacks for your Surface Pen. Just like the other great Surface accessories the Surface Pen can be pricey. Especially if you don't really know qll that you can donwith it other than writing. Luckily just like the other great Surface accessories you can find it on sale regularly.

    Great Pen with Precision

    The pen works well, I've tested it with the Surface Book 2, Surface Pro 9 and the Surace Go. The magnet adheres well on the side of the screen. I prefer not to leave it attached while stowed away. (It has come loose in the bag and I wouldn't want it rubbing against the laptop casing.) However, it's strong enough to stay put through most occasions of rough vigor. Extra options for the eraser button must be configured but worth the effort. I picked the Cobalt Blue to match the signature model of my Surface Pro 6 keyboard casing. Aside from being less visible in the dark, I prefer the blue over the silver model. It has a soft matt finish that feels great against the skin. Did I mention it handles light marring better? The battery will last at least a year. Easy to replace. (pull top, AAAA battery) The price IS a little high but it's better quality than any other third party compatible pen.

    Great pen to use with your surface. Glides seamlessly across the screen even with a screen protector. My only two issues are the proce point and the fact that it's not a rechargeable pen. You would think with this price tag it would be. But regardless it works great and the battery life seems. To be good I've had it for over a year and haven't had to change them yet. Though I don't use it everyday so keep that in mind.

    I didn't buy this pen when I bought my surface pro because the pen was so expensive and I didn't think I'd use it. After having my surface pro for about a month, I started to see how the pen could be handy. I mainly use it for playing games because some things are just easier with a pen than a mouse! My main concern, besides price, was how to keep from losing it. But, it is magnetic and sticks right to the side of your surface pro. I used a rewards certificate to bring the price down a bit, but I still think it was worth it. It does use a AAAA (yes, 4 As) battery. They are not as prevalent as AA or AAA, but Best Buy, Lowe's and Walgreen's carries them. I'm still on the battery that came with the pen so the battery life is good.

    This pen is easy to use. Feels more like using a real pen than other stylus I have used in the past. Also the end is an eraser. My only complaint is that to my knowledge you have to download seperate extensions if you want to use the pen outside the white board or microsoft office. I will edit my review if I realize I am wrong. It is still new to me.

    Love this pen. Much better than Samsung's Tab s6 pen. Ease to pair with my Surface Pro 7. And the tip glides across the screen when I take notes. Also, the eraser on the top of the pen is incredibly convenient. Might be a good idea to save yourself some money and buy an open-box excellent condition pen and use the saving to purchase Best Buy's $15 warrantee.

    The surface pen is a simple and effective tool that just makes your life a lot easier. Having said that, here are the pros and cons of the device according to me: Pros: 1) Value for money 2) Good grip and feel (sometimes I tend to forget its not a real pen) 3) Robust design 4) Great battery life Cons: I would prefer a rechargeable pen which will both reduce the cost of batteries and the weight of the pen Hope this review helps in your future purchase.

    It works great, I love it. It writes more naturally than any other stylus that I've ever used, and my handwriting actually looks almost exactly like it does on paper. We have two Surface devices in the house and it can easily be linked to both and used back and forth between the two of them. My only complaint is the price - thankfully I bought this on sale, but I feel like it should be more in the $50 - 75 range than the $100+ range. But overall it was still a good get.

    Best surface pen in the market

    Although it is quiet expensive if you compare with other surface pen in the market. This is still the best one out there. The main reason is because I really like how it feel when you write on surface screen. Beside price point - Microsoft really should use rechargeable battery instead of regular AAAA one.

    The Surface pen is great to write and connects well with my program I use for my chiropractic practice. I have to sign my name with each patient's visit and it does a great job write on the Surface Pro! It is also easy to grip when holding the pen.

    I purchased this with my Surface Pro 7. It works just like a mouse, if I’m more mobile. I really wanted it for writing notes on pdf’s and to learn how to draw with an art program. Red isn’t a usual color I choose, but I figured it would be easier to find if I left it somewhere and I needed to find it.

    I needed a new pen when I sadly left my old one somewhere. The new one was easy to pair with my SurfacePro 7 and works as intended. It's always a little painful to have to replace an expensive, but vital accessory, but at least it was on sale :)! I use it primarily for signing documents electronically and highlighting articles.

    Awesome pen just wish these were rechargeable like apple pens or like the new ones for the pro x but either way love the weight and the feel works amazingly and takes 1 quad A battery first time ever using one lol. And got mine on sale even better!! Bought batteries off Amazon 6 pack for like 6 bucks have on hand.
