Customer Ratings & Reviews

A good buy on discount, works seamlessly with my Surface device. Mostly use it for page scrolling and note taking. It is more comfortable for me to grip than the Apple Pencil, feels smoother against the screen. Also wonderful that the top button also works as an eraser with compatible Surface devices and programs. Technically outdated compared to Surface Pen 2 but still a solid choice.

Love the surface pen. Works great. Unfortunately, it is also easy to lose. :( Was able to replace again. Worth the investment to buy something to secure it. I use with surface book 2 laptop. I have both the Apple Pencil and this one. Compatibly I like both. This pen is a little nicer as you don’t aways have to charge it up to use it, unlike the Apple Pencil.

The Microsoft Surface Pen is an absolute essential for any Surface device owner! Its precision and responsiveness are unparalleled, making it feel like I'm writing or drawing on paper. The pressure sensitivity and tilt support add incredible versatility for artists and note-takers alike. The magnet attachment to the Surface device is a clever touch, ensuring it's always within reach. Battery life is impressive, and it's incredibly easy to recharge. The seamless integration with Windows Ink enhances productivity and creativity. While the price might be higher than other stylus options, the Surface Pen's quality and performance justify the investment. It's a must-have tool that elevates the entire user experience.

I have been using pen computing since my first Palm device in 1998. This is hands down the best digital pen I have used in that time. It is accurate, pressure sensitive, and reliable. It will magnetically attach to the side of your Surface device and generally stays put, though bagging your Surface roughly or manhandling it will obviously knock it off. It is battery powered using an AAAA (yes, 4-As) battery. Some might prefer this (as I do) some might prefer a rechargeable battery like the Apple Pencil. I prefer the AAAA because the built in ones die and then you have to buy a whole new pen. I don't want my $100 pen's life limited by the number of recharge cycles when I'm a heavy user. The sole complaint that I have is that the pen on my Surface Pro has a built-in clip and this pen, which I bought for my wife's Surface Book does not. This makes it more likely to roll away. It's minor enough that I didn't take away a star, though if I was allowed, it would have brought it to a 4-1/2 star review. If you actually *use* pens in computing, you definitely want this. I use a lot of digital ink in note taking in OneNote, document review/markup in Word, and for "wet-ink" signatures. It also serves as a mouse when I'm on the fly with my Surface. If you only want it as a portable mouse, however, you could save the money and get a good mobile Bluetooth mouse for half the cost.

I bought this to use with my Surface Pro 7. It came with the battery already installed. It writes very smooth. You flip it over just like a pencil to erase. I opted to buy this open box to save additional money. It came with everything that a new would. If you have any if the Surface devices, then this pen will complete your purchase.

I got this when it was on sale at Best Buy and they were offering it cheaper than anywhere else I could find. The normal price is a little steep in my opinion. But it works great with the Microsoft Surface Pro 6. I find myself using it for more than drawing and art. I have used Wacam tablets and styluses previously but this is a superior experience that I highly recommend.

My friend and I both have Surface Book laptops but he got the previous generation Surface pen with it. When I got my Surface Book I was somehow able to pick up this new version cheaper than the older version in this beautiful ice blue color. The older version needed a lot more pressure to get it to work. With this new version the lightest tap is registered and I love that! It just feels a whole lot better. I can just write more naturally than before. I love the fact that it has an eraser too! I also have the Apple Pencil for my iPad pro and I would take the Surface Pen over the Apple Pencil any day! Not to mention it's a whole lot cheaper (especially when it goes on sale). While it works out of the box you need to set it up via Bluetooth to take full advantage of the built in eraser button.

My daughter loves the sleek design of this pen and how light weight it is. It connects to her computer with no problem and the computer reads it smoothly.

I originally purchased the surface pen from Bamboo which promised all of the same features as the Microsoft version. That was a mistake. The Microsoft pen is far better in writing, feel, accuracy, and the ability to stick via magnet to the side of my Surface Book Pro. Worth the extra money over generics to get this right.

I can’t recommend getting this to pair with your Surface enough. If you’re into drawing or sketching at all it opens up a whole new world of graphic design. It’s high quality, the battery lasts a long time (though it can be hard to find AAAA batteries in the wild), and it works like a charm. Very happy with this purchase.

Nice and simple active stylus that works well with the ASUS PX 13. I would have given it 5 stars if it had two other features: - Needs an on/off switch. This stylus turns on when near the screen and turns off after a set amount of time. - Needs to be rechargeable. This stylus uses a single AAAA battery. Other 3rd party stylus manufacturers offer the above functionality. But if you want something you can buy locally, this works. If you can find it as an open-box item at your nearby store, this can make the price more comparable to the other manufacturers.

Wouldn't have necessarily purchased this separately for my Surface Pro7 but it was part of my bundle and so grateful. Now that I've used it I would definitely invest in one again. It is lightweight, high quality and extremely useful in efficiently using my 2in1 in the highest range of abilities.

Must have for the surface pro. Excellent accuracy, design, comfort and feel. The features enhance the overall experience substantially.

Have been using this for a couple months now and have found it to be accurate and reliable for use with my Surface Pro. It seems to be top notch quality and I would have rated it a 5 except for two items. 1) I find the button to be difficult to operate because I have to always fiddle with the pen's orientation in my hand before I can use it--somewhat inconvenient and 2) it lacks any sort of clip to attach it safely to a shirt pocket

Great pen. I purchased this pen to replace the MS Surface Pen the shipped with my MS Surface 3. I also have an HP M11 Tablet. The Pen synced perfectly with both my older Surface tablet and my HP M11 tablet. I am missing the tilt function but neither system support the MS Pen Tilt function. The pen slides evenly and smoothly across both tablet surfaces. The rear of the pen acts as an eraser the drawing programs I have including MS Paint and Onenote. The click button is also easy to access and use. Finally, I have zero issue moving the pen between my two devices. I set the pen up once on both devices. The Pen and device automagically work with the tablet that is closest to it. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

OK - we all know this pen is expensive, but it works so much better than the generic brands. The response is super fast and seamless. It works faster than a mouse plus I can pin-point with greater accuracy on the screen. This pen can draw, erase and write notes. Love it so far.

i recently purchased a Microsoft Surface Pen for my wife's new Service Pro note book and she loves it, it is easy to use and helps her on designing, writing, working spreadsheets, and using it from moving from window to window, I highly recommend it to everyone who has a Service Pro or is planning on getting one

It's the most current pen that functions effortlessly with my Surface Book 2. It has a funny felt tip that has a great effect of producing a little bit of friction on the glass surface and feels nice to scribble on the display. The 4000 levels of pressure works, and is adjustable from within the Surface app, but I haven't felt the need to fiddle with the settings. The pen has nice weight to it, and feels really solid. The one button on the side seems like a long button but only actuates closer to the tip of the pen, It's also pretty flush to the body so finding it can be a tad annoyance. The eraser end acts as an eraser and does it's job well. A good pen but at the full asking price of $99, it's kind of a tough sell. No extras were included in my brand new box so honestly, I'd recommend buying open-box or if you have some discounts, you'll feel better about your purchase.

This is the perfect "add on" item you need to use with a Surface Co tablet computer. God heft and good feel to use. It works well on the screen for drawing and writing and it doesent's leave fingerprints! The magnet is good so it can easily attach to the unit. Just don't lose it because it is expensive!

I use the Surface Pen primarily for taking notes on my Surface Go 2, so the experience may differ slightly if you’re using a different Surface model. Having both a 2nd gen Apple Pencil and the Surface Pen, I can definitely say the Surface Pen has an advantage in that the tip has more “give” (for lack of a better term) making writing feel a bit more natural on a solid glass surface. I also love how the Surface Pen allows use of the opposite end as an eraser, just like an actual pencil. Seems like common sense to me. Although the design isn’t as sleek and elegant as the Apple Pencil, it’s far more functional. That being said, I don’t use it to draw, so I cannot speak to its drawing capabilities.
