    The pen works great, but I'm using the Surface vs. the Surface Pro, and if I'm plugged into the outlet and another monitor and a keyboard, there's no where for the pen to attach to.

    This is a must have for the surface, but it is extremely convenient when taking notes. The added features with the Microsoft pen are worth the extra $20.00. Th eraser function is terrific. Just be careful not to loose it . it blends in with the other pens easily. The drawing functions are also superior to the other brands I tried.

    Magnet seems to work well on everything but the tablet. Thought I lost it once but my tablet said it was connected so I knew it was around somewhere. Found it stuck to the leg of my table. My advice based what happened to me is to check that it’s with the tablet before you move the tablet:).

    Of course there is always room for improvement on pen inputs but this one is worth it if you like having a pen. It doesnt slide inside the body of the Surface but it magnetically "sticks" to the side, which might be an issue for those who travel a lot. I would advise packing it separately. Other than that caveat it is a solid product

    As far as does it work, yes. But does my finger work just as well, also yes. I'm sure it's good for people who do design and take a lot of screen captures but otherwise I'm going to say it's not worth it. I bought it to avoid having to touch my screen so much and I would say I still have to touch my screen the same amount.

    These digital pens are expensive and the software can struggle to hold up without technical difficulty so I'm never expecting them to last forever but this one lasted me TWO MONTHS. I bought it in august for graduate school, used it pretty infrequently (keeping the tip 100% safe and away from touching ANYTHING except the screen) and BOOM, it doesn't work. Turns out Microsoft is producing the product despite knowing that FREQUENTLY the tip stops working (but everything else is fine including the eraser and nothing will fix it) so they often just send people who bought a new one directly from Microsoft another one for free. But these things are pricey as heck and I'm a broke student who needs a tablet for architecture school!!!! C'mon!!! So I got one from Best Buy. Well, don't do that because I only had a month to return it and it broke after two! DON'T BUY THIS HERE!

    Not a big fan of the stylus, however the surface pen has out-preformed any that I have used before. I watch other class-mates that have to plug their pens into their tablets to sync them, I never have that issue. I do not know how long the batteries will last, but for now it has given me no issues. I have purchased a set of different tips to try with this, but they are currently "on a slow boat from China" literally. Very interested to try out the different tips, but even before that, I would highly recommend this product. P.S.- Love the magnetic feature that holds the pen to the side of my surface book 2. works very well.
