    This is my first time using a stylus so I have nothing to compare it to. That being said, I can tell you that I haven't experienced any issues with it so far. I love that it connects so easily to the side of my Surface Go 2 and automatically turns on when I remove it. I bought it primarily for note taking and it is comfortable in my hand for doing that. I imagine it will take more time for me to get more efficient with it and become more familiar with other ways to use it. I did hold a few other brands in the store and to me this one felt easier to hold like a pencil. It is also very convenient to use to click the very small icons at the bottom of my screen instead of using my mouse or finger. Finally - it feels well made and I love the way it matches my other Go 2 accessories.

    Wasn't sure about whether I should purchase the pen or not, but decided to try it out. There are multiple settings for it for wide or skinny and everything in between and there isn't any lag on the screen or awkwardness at all. My only complaint is that the magnet isn't as strong and sometimes falls off the Surface Pro. That is the only reason why I labeled it as a 4

    This product is a great add-on to the surface pro 7. Great for drawing, note taking and signing e-documents. Love that it comes in different colors. Love the tutorial on my surface that teaches the functionality. Priced a bit high.

    Works great for the MS Surface 2 Laptop. Very pleased with ease of use and I no longer have to have finger smudge prints on the screen. I would highly recommend the Surface pen. The battery life is still at 100% (uses a AAAA battery). Well worth it!

    Love this. Wouldn't recommend getting the Surface Pro without it. I really hate to pay full price for anything, but I did for this and I'd do it again. If you're on the fence and would use it for games, note taking, etc., get it.

    This pen is very precise and easy to use. The ability to click the eraser and write on whatever may be on the screen is amazing. The pen also has an eraser that functions as such during operation which takes the cake and puts the Microsoft pen above the competition.

    This is an awesome pen, comfortable to hold in your hands for hours, the battery AAAA is very durable, the first device I see that uses this type of battery and you can buy some extra in Best Buy. Definitely recommend the pen as well the Surface Pro. Just Buy it!

    Best iteration of the Surface pen yet!!!

    Lighter, more comfortable to hold and comfortable to hold. Very responsive - functions very well with drawing and writing - works great when using the Surface Pro 6 in tablet mode. Use mostly for work, writing/transcribing notes and approving and signing forms - works great! Have used for some light sketching - very accurate - the pen shines when using shading and coloring, the pressure sensitivities of the pen operates well when using a worthy drawing program! Definitely worth the price! On a final note, was initially disappointed that the clip was dropped, however, in practicality, I seldom used the clip in previous models - my UAG case has a great pen holder built, which works!

    Wasn’t compatible with my Lenovo laptop, despite this being the pen recommended by Best Buy. However, it felt like a very nice pen and felt very high quality, and was easy to connect. Unfortunately, I had to return it since I couldn’t use it, but I’d recommend it to someone with a compatible laptop.

    Love this pen! Allows me to actually sign forms without the use of a fat stylus or a finger that ends up looking nothing like my signature. I can also add notes to files and make changes as needed with ease.

    The surface pro pen is a great addition to the surface pro. Although I don't use it all the time and it's no real full-time replacement for a mouse but it is great when you need to sign, draw or highlight.

    Got this pen to replace an aftermarket pen we bought for my daughter's Surface Pro 7. It is a huge step up and definitely worth the extra price. Designed to work with Surface tablets and it shows.

    Must have for any Surface Product. Not a NEED so I can understand why it doesn't come with it like the Surface Pros. But it maximizes all the surface products. And with them adding functionality to most if not all Microsoft programs it just makes sense.

    Works as good as my Slim Pen 2

    I will admit, I got this because it was on clearance and with my BB rewards, I was able to get it for .97 cents. But, the other reason was I wanted something round. I have the Slim Pen 2 and love it, but sometimes I just want something round to write with. This pen is perfect. It’s just as responsive as the Slim Pen, at least to me. I don’t do any art, just use them to write and use sometimes as a mouse. But I notice no difference. I have a privacy screen on my SP and it works right through with no skipping or missing strokes. It comfortable and easy to use, and connected effortlessly to my 11, 9 and Go 3. I’m glad I picked up it, as the comfort and feel is nice, and the fact that you can also swap out tips for different “hardnesses” for the pencil, it’s great. If you’re looking for a round pen that works very well, I would pick one up.
