    It is not easy to teach the pen my hand writing style. It's not positionally user friendly.

    Lasted less than a year and stopped writing. Eraser works fine, pen function is dead, and now the unit will not join anything via Bluetooth. Microsoft's answer: Buy another one.

    Great pen

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a really great pen with programmable buttons and also I love the fact that the eraser is on the top, not a button like several other pens I have. It also works with other ntrig devices in addition to the surface line I'm using it with my HP Spectre X2 and it is far better than the one included with the HP.

    I am used to the S-Pen from Samsung Note series phones and they are very well built Pens and quite useful. This product is not as good in comparison. I used it on the Surface Pro 6 and found it to be not as useful as the SPen on Note Phone.

    The best pen I ever used

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The new Surface Pen is far superior than the previous models or any other pens on the market. However, a Wacom Bamboo Ink may help you save $30, if you are not particular about the tilt support, eraser on back and magnetic attachment and it works with other compatible laptops as well. Note: Surface Pen is superior on Surface devices when comparing with Wacom Bamboo Ink as it has tilt support, eraser on back and magnetic attachment.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Good, but could improve on the tip of the pen by making it less flimsy. In comparison to other Amazon brands I couldn’t find the same feel this one has so I prefer it regardless of its flimsy tip.

    Perfect For College Students

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am a full-time college student and I can’t imagine life without the Surface Pen. Instead of carrying around bulky notebooks and papers, I only have to carry my Surface Pro 2017 and the Surface Pen. The Surface Pen has allowed me to go completely paperless. Taking notes with the Surface Pen and OneNote is phenomenal. It feels very similar to using normal paper and pen. I am able to take notes in class and access them at a later time on my phone or at home on my desktop PC. The replaceable battery and tips are a huge advantage. I have owned the pen for over a year and haven’t needed to replace the battery or tip, even with daily use. However, I know it will be easy to do when that time comes. With other styluses, like the Apple Pencil, battery replacement is not possible. If your battery was to stop holding a charge with the Apple Pencil, you would be forced to just throw it away and buy an entire new unit. If you purchase any Surface device, this is a must have accessory for the price. You will be able to utilize your Surface device to its maximum potential.

    Writes smooth. It is way better than other pens that say they work with a surface. I works very well with my old surface pro 3 that I bought used with a defective pen. After buying this pen it works like a new machine now.

    LOVE IT! Originally owned the pen that came with my surface pro 4. I hesitated to purchase this pen - not knowing it it would be any different then the one that i already had. Am so glad I decided to roll the dice because this pen has much less lag - virtually 0.. The tip writes naturally and the eraser is rubberized slightly to prevent scratches to the screen (which was always a concern to me) Love it - glad I bought it and recommend it to anyone with a SP4.

    I have been having my Suraface Go with keyboard, mouse, and pen for a few months now and absolutely love then pen!! It doesn’t feel awkward in your hand and I love to use it to bring up the whiteboard and for screenshots. It is smooth and easy to use. I am buying another because my niece came over a few weeks and I did the mistake of leaving everything in the open. I flipped my house upside down and cannot for the life of me find it and I need it. So I hope to take better care of this one :)
