    Great pen! Works well with my surface pro! Love the click of the top of the pen & the shortcuts feature with it. Also just found out you can use it as an “eraser” when taking notes

    Game-Changer for Creatives - The Surface

    The Surface Pro Pen has truly revolutionized my digital art and note-taking experience. It's a sleek, well-designed stylus that feels comfortable in the hand, mimicking the feel of a traditional pen. The pressure sensitivity is impressive, offering 4096 levels of pressure, which makes for a very natural writing and drawing experience. The tilt functionality is a great addition, allowing for shading and more nuanced strokes, just like a real pencil. The button on the side is a handy shortcut for erasing or right-clicking, and the top button can be customized to open your favorite apps. The pen pairs seamlessly with the Surface Pro, and the palm rejection technology works flawlessly, ensuring that you can rest your hand on the screen without making unwanted marks. However, there are a couple of areas where there's room for improvement. The battery life, while decent, could be better. Also, the pen occasionally experiences some latency, which can be a bit frustrating when you're in the middle of a detailed piece of work. Despite these minor issues, the Surface Pro Pen is a fantastic tool for any digital artist or note-taker. It's a bit of an investment, but in my opinion, it's worth every penny for the functionality and convenience it offers.

    I didn't think I needed this... and then I did. I decided, at first, to keep using the other surface pen I had and that it wouldn't be a big deal but the more I did, the more I realized the new pen is truly the better device for two reasons. 1. It's more accurate. It yields a better, more authentic writing and drawing experience. 2. It is designed for the Surface Laptop Studio. The SLS, has a special magnet that is designed to keep the pen fastened to the bottom of the device in a concealed manner. It is very handy.

    Ive bought a surface studio laptop and needed a pen, my computer recommended this so i went with it, i am not dissapointed. I found how cool it is by how it acts as a real pencil. The back acts as an eraser and the tip like a pencil! Highly recomend, theres no delay! And feels soft on the screen

    I love the slim pen-when I got my first one I was a little concerned about the shape but it's perfect. I had the choice of buying a USB charger or the Surface keyboard with the charger tray, and I highly recommend the keyboard option. I am forever dropping the pens from my original Surfaces. Being able t launch a notetaking app (or your choice of frequently used app) with a single click of the button is a very useful feature that I find myself becoming more and more dependent on.

    Works flawlessly on Surface—but useless elsewhere

    I bought the Surface Slim Pen (2nd Gen) to use with my Surface Laptop Studio 2, and it delivers exactly what Microsoft promises: instant Bluetooth pairing, flawless pressure sensitivity, and a premium matte-black finish. The pen glides effortlessly across the PixelSense Flow display, docks securely under the chassis for charging, and never slips off the magnetic attachment. However, when I tried the same pen on my Asus ZenBook Duo, it just not work normally, and it wouldn’t charge without a separate USB-C charging adapter. If you’re hunting for a universal Windows stylus, beware—this pen only lives up to its potential on Surface devices. Should you return or replace your Surface with another brand, you’ll be left with an expensive paperweight.

    The flatness of it is a bit weird at first, but honestly it's a quick adjustment. Having it not only attached to the laptop but always charged and ready to go is a huge improvement over the previous iterations. I've had garaged pens on Lenovo laptops where it also charged, but this is more convenient and offers a full size pen.

    Awesome, I like it. Whenever you need to take quick notes, pop the pen out click the top button and away you go with note taking. A little expensive but I guess you get alot for this pen, biggest plus is you don't get the ink smudge on your papers and hands haha.

    Requires a separately sold $30 proprietary charger

    The pen is fantastic and works great but I have to give it 2 stars because it does not come with a charger. It requires a proprietary charger that you have to purchase separately. At the moment I bought this no retailer had the charger in stock. I had to pay double the MSRP so I could get a charger for this device when I needed it. To connect the pen to your device you have to put it into a charger for 1 second. It does not register the touches when the pen is not connected. I was stuck with a $130 product that had no use until I could source that charger. Selling any device that requires a sold separately item to function at all is anti-consumer and a predatory tactic that should be banned.

    Sleek pen, love how it feels like writing with a pencil. Works great on my Surface book 3 Minor con, it doesn't charge from my specific model of surface. So make sure you know what you have so you know to get a charger.
