I just purchase a surface go recently and today picked up the pen also. It’s really simple to connect and the accuracy when writing is really good. I like that I can write on the screen in my hand writing or click the keyboard and have my writing typed out. The pen serves as a mouse also.

I have used both this and the Apple Pencil and I have to say I like the Surface Pen better. It writes smoothly and has an eraser on top. I wish it could charge from the device but the batteries last really long so it isn’t a big deal.

So I bought the pen when it was open box (good) turns out it was actually a new one! Who would of figured that one of the Best Buy must have actually forgotten to thoroughly check their products condition. Anyways the pen feels nice and is good for Surface Pro 6!

This pen has a nice feel to it and works well with my surface pro. I like how it magnetically sticks to the surface. Only thing is that it uses AAAA (4A's) batteries. Can't find those at Target, only Best buy stores. Wish it was a rechargeable battery like the apple pen.

Easy to use. Very comfortable in my hand. And has good weight. It sync quickly with the Surface Pro and quick response times when using it to draw or write across the screen. Very smooth feel to it.

I've had this pen for a couple of months. I use it 2 to 3 times a week for note taking and the rubber covering the tip is already fraying and coming off.
I'm afraid I'll be replacing it soon but for $80, I would have hoped it would last a bit longer doing what it was made to do. Overall the pen feels great, heavy and of very high quality, but some corners were apparently cut in designing the tip which is going to be the part making the most direct surface to surface contact.
Overall, it syncs up easily and is extremely user friendly. Just very poor durability but if you're fond of writing or doodling graphs, its the only option that I'm aware of.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your honest feedback about Surface Pen. What you've described is not what we've come to expect from our devices, and we'll be sure to pass this information along to the rest of our team. Thank you again for sharing.
Kindly,

Unless you have a surface mouse, you should get a pen to use with it. I use my tablet for a lot of school stuff, and I cannot imagine how hard it would be to use without the pen. I have used this pen for about a year now and it is still working great with the same battery. I did notice that the tip of the pen seems to be exposed a bit. There is a small piece of rubber at the tip that was supported with a bit of plastic right up to the end. Some of that plastic must have cracked off because now the tip is mostly rubber with a tiny bit of plastic remnants. I am pretty gentle with this pen, just for reference. Overall, I would still get it because it is still useful and it does what it needs to do.

Love this pen more than I expected. It is much better than Samsung's tab s6 in two respects. First it is much thicker and easier to hold. Second, no buttons so there aren't any accidently touches that cause unwanted features to pop-up.
Being able to turn the pen upside down and just erase your mistakes is amazing. Also, there is absolutely no visible lag when taking notes (I am not an artist so I can't speak to drawing). In short, this is great pen that meets all my needs. Finally, save yourself some money and buy an openbox - excellent condition pen.

So far with the pen I have not had any issues with it, you can hold the pen anyway you like and it still responds to the Surface. I have so far tried drawing, writing, and playing video games with it and I have had no problems. I love how you can make shortcuts with the pen, for example if you want to go into your sketch pad you set up the pen in the settings so that with one click you can open and close your sketchpad. Another favorite thing that I like about the pen is you can have the tablet completely flat or in an upright position and you can still draw or write.

The surface pen is about as good as a stylus can get. It writes great on my surface book and the features it has allow you to do a lot of cool stuff. I particularly like being able to program the buttons on it for different actions. If you have a surface computer you really should get one of these to go with it or else you're missing out on half the functionality. The only gripe I have with the pen is its cost. The $100 Microsoft wants for it is pretty steep, I found one at my best buy for $50 on sale though

I got this because I wanted something that would make it easy for me to mark up a Word doc and take notes on my surface laptop. Unfortunately, I haven't needed it much since I got it. I'll rate it highly because it is a quality device. I do like how well it works and its easy attachment to the my surface. Isn't the pen's fault that I haven't found it to be terribly practical for my purposes. If I were doing graphic design, I might have a lot more to say. For what I needed, I do feel it was too expensive, but I found an open box deal and saved a little money.

I do design work both professionally and recreational and this pen makes my time spent with digital design both easier and fun. It's accuracy to the screen is incredibly useful and makes drawing digital feel natural again. Super simple connection and once I got it I was hooked. I find myself doodling in my down time with it since it has such a pencil to paper feel. Artists of all abilities should give this a shot and see for themselves how much they'd enjoy it.

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.

I puchased another laptop, also with a pen, but switched my purchase to a surpro pro 6 with signature kyboard, purchased the pen & arc mouse.
I liked the features of the pen over the other laptop because:
1. the pen was heavier & felt more solid.
2. it had the ability to launch 2 applications by clicking once or twice. the other pen could not do that.
3. the pen was magnetically attached to the laptop & wouldnt just roll away or when used with a very small desk...it stayed put right there on the tablet side--loved this feature!
