Bought this for my son to use with his Surface and couldn’t be more happy! The best feature about this stylist is the eraser! He loves using it for math and doesn’t have to worry about hitting the “undo” button. Highly recommend!

This is the best kind of pen that you can get for the Microsoft surface, it's just really expensive. The third-party surface pens don't really work as well. They're not bad but they're not as good as The ones that Microsoft makes. That said, I ended up returning it because of the price. I had a serious case of buyers remorse.

This came with my Surface Pro 7 in a bundle along with the keyboard. I probably wouldn't have paid to buy it separately but it's proven to be fairly useful. It works very well and is extremely accurate and easy to use. I'd definitely recommend this for anyone who likes to draw.

It was super easy to learn how to set up the pen. It took some time to get used to since it feels slightly bulkier to use, just my preference and me being used to a regular pen. But it writes smoothly, especially to draw with!

Good quality, wish it came with the Surface Pro rather than having to buy it separately. Works well with the Surface Pro and very helpful to have when you have fat fingers and are trying to use the touch screen.

this pen is just plain fun. It really was a "toy" for me, but I have so enjoyed using it - firstly, it is always handy, hanging on to the side of my Surface. It is so much more specific than my finger, that I do not have to fix mistakes nearly as often. It also seems to have a lont-lasting battery!

This pen makes life so much easier and is highly entertaining with the random tasks it is capable of. I’m exchanging mine today for one that matches my other accessories but besides the color it’s the perfect fit for me and what I required it for.

Having both the Apple Pencil and the Surface Pen, they're both great products. There is probably a little more lag with the Surface Pen compared to the Apple Pencil, however the feeling of the Surface Pen on the screen is WAY more life-like and feels great.

This little pen works really well with the surface! Writes really nicely and I quite enjoy the functionality of the eraser. I've had some problems with the top button's shortcuts though. They don't like to work sometimes. I don't mind too much because I seldom use those functions anyways.

This pairs wonderfully with the Microsoft Surface 3 that my daughter now uses for college. It is intuitive to use and very handy for drawing e.g. a diagram with the touch screen that can be digitized as part of your notes. She loves using it.

This is a sort of niche product. My daughter loves to draw so I bought it for her to doodle on my Surface Pro. The only reason I gave it 4 starts was because I think its a bit overpriced and the button sometimes doesnt open the app like its supposed to. Overall it is a great product and writes/draws really well.

This is a great pen. It makes working on my surface pro easier. I love the style and easy use of the pen. Less mistakes while using the surface pro pen. I recommend this pen. The down side is that it should have came together with the surface pro lap top.

Amazing quality for a laptop pen in general. It is a little on the higher end for price and very comparable to the bamboo but I am overall happy with this pen. I have had it for over a year now and do not have any problems

This pen feels comfortable in the hand which offers a nice, natural feel when drawing/writing on the screen. I love having the ability to advance slides with it while I'm presenting. Also, the bottom of it acts like an eraser which is very awesome!

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.

Love the feel and the fact that one side has faceted grip surfaces like a pencil and the other side is round. Very comfortable. Really like the eraser too. Really nice weight to it.

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
