    The pen was very easy to setup with the Surface pro 7. It magnetically sticks to the side of the surface for convenient storage. I use to annotate notes on pdf's during class lectures. There are many other ways the pen can enhance the use of a tablet. Price is a little high, but if it has long life it was worth it.

    I have a Bamboo Ink. This is better. It feels nicer in my hand, and the magnets are strong. I really like the eraser/click features. Writing with it feels good. Some software has a noticeable lag-time, but I have not noticed that with Microsoft programs. Writing with the pen on my SB2 is comfortable and fluid.

    Overall, wonderful surface pro pen. Works just as well as similar to the Apple pen but for Windows Surface Tablets. No issues so far and it has a feature where you double click it and you can set it up to open any software, I usually set it to Adobe Photoshop to do my graphic design. I believe the tips are changeable, if you do want pressurized tips you'd have to buy a set.

    I like the Surface pen, it is easy to use and it really make taking and writing notes easy. It attaches to the Surface Go by magnetic force makes it easy to keep up with. I think the cost could have been a little more reasonable; or the pen should have been included in the price of the Surface Go 2.

    A Must for College Notes

    While pricey, this smart pen is fantastic for taking notes. I use a Dell Inspiron 7415 2-in-1, and because it uses the Microsoft standard, it works just as well as the Dell-branded smart pen. It even has a functional eraser button on the top, which the Dell pen does not. It only has one button on the handle instead of two, for selection. The Dell one has two; one for erasing and the other for seleciton. tl;dr If you can forgive the high price, it's the best smart pen on the market.

    More functional, but less responsive

    I have owned both the Microsoft Surface Pen and Apple Pencil, and both are top of the line products. The Surface Pen's eraser function is amazing, I feel like I am writing with an actual pencil when I am in the middle of the lecture and taking notes. Along with the eraser function, the clicking options is clutch because I can seemingly, without any hassle, screenshot a page or document and it sends the screenshot straight into One Note and I am able to start taking notes. There are quite a few options that you can set your pen to which makes puts it ahead of the Apple Pencil in terms of functionality and customizing options. In comparison to the Apple Pencil, the Surface Pen does not respond as smoothly as the Apple Pencil, but not enough to make a difference. A big difference between the two would be the eraser function and clicker functions on the Surface Pen. A must if you have a Surface Go like myself!!

    Great product. Sturdy and easy to use. I like it attaches to the laptop case I purchased. I like the color and the material is made. It's not too light and not too heavy. I would definitely recommend this product. My son takes it everywhere and use it often to write on his laptop/tablet.

    I bought this for my 12th grader to use with his Surface Pro tablet. He loves it. The color is a match with his keyboard/cover, which red and black combo is his favorite colors. He showed me how he can click the pencil and the drawing screen on his tablet appears to use the pencil. Magic.

    The pen is pretty cool not gonna lie. The surface pen does not require any charging and is magnetically attached to the side of the surface pro 7. Additionally, the pen is pretty handy dandy (I can erase with the back of the pen, woah). I've heard that the tips of these pens break though but you can buy more on amazon if that happens anytime soon.

    This pen is great! The fact that it pairs so easily and attaches right to the side of the surface pro is really crucial. It comes in super handy when you're filling out forms online or have to make selections in kind of small areas. The click functions are great, and of course it's fun to draw with and write notes too.

    This pen really should be included with the surface pro, but not mandatory for good user experience. I don't use it every day, but when I want it, I'm glad it's there. I wish the magnetic hold was stronger to the side of my surface pro, but I'm grateful that it is as good as it is. I debated about getting the previous model pen or the bamboo pen (I borrowed a friends bamboo pen for a few days) but I'm glad I splurged on this one. It was very difficult to find in stock though. I thought I would want a clip for it, but being clip free and using the magnet on the left side of the surface pro screen is the slimmest and most convenient option for me. It does come off if I bump it sometimes and I worried I might bump it off and not notice ... then will lose a $100 pen

    I like using a stylus with my devices. This one is made for the Surface pro and actually pairs with it. In addition to the usual stylus functions, the top acts as an eraser which is handy. The magnets hold it on to the side of the Surface pro 7, but watch out, it can be knocked off pretty easily.

    OMG! I love love love this pen! It connected on its own, it is lite and easy to use and bring able to write on the touch screen instead of typing is incredibly easy and makes my life easier!! If you get the surface pro... you MUST get the pen too! I just wish they had a purple 1!?
