I purchased this with the Surface Pro 6, and honestly I wouldn't recommend it to someone unless the plan to draw with the tablet. It still works very well with the Surface for casual use(i.e. surfing the web, checking e-mail etc.) but it isn't at all necessary to do any of that. I do like the button on the top of the pen, it's useful for taking quick notes and taking screenshots. Again, unless you plan on drawing with the pen, it's probably not worth the $100 price tag.

The pen is very efficient, no lag, and it's precise. The only reason I took away a star is bc I wish it was rechargable instead of battery operated and I wish it had a clip like the other versions had. It's magnetic and sticks to the side but I have a case on my surface pro that comes with a little slit to hold the pen since it blocks the side with the case, but I still wish the pen had a clip so I could clip it in the slot that holds the pen for added security.

It's a lightweight and easy pen to use and set up with the Surface Pro! I use it to draw on my notes and it goes great with apps like Sketchbook!

This is the best Surface pen. Despite the various colors, this model of pen is the best that the Suface offers. Great battery life and easy to replace batteries. Make sure you invest in a couple of AAAA (yes, quadruple A batteries) when you purchase, not sure you can get these at your local grocery store.

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.

I’ve been using this pen and haven’t had to change the battery since I bought it 2 years ago. I used it in collage to take notes on One Note and now I use it to avoid getting finger print on my Surface when in tablet mode. The shortcut for screen capture is quicker and easier than doing it by mouse.

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 bought the Microsoft surface book for my daughter and she needed the surface pen to work with.
She is so happy and loves drawing and working on her school assignments.
The pen is a perfect addition to the laptop.

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.

Good quality, magnet keeps the pen on the side of my surface pro. Easy to use but a 4/5 when it comes to precision. I used this in college when I would review pdf documents and annotate.

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.

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.

I bought this pen to use with my HP Envy x360. I can confirm (from my experience) this pen does indeed work with the HP envy, including pressure sensitivity and customizing buttons. The silver color matches as well.

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.
