    Works great on the screen, awkward to hold

    The pen works well, I like the way it engages with the screen. My only complaint is about the way it fits in your hand. The weight and balance are good, but it doesn't feel like a pen or pencil would, it's a little award to hold when writing or drawings

    More function, less form than the Apple combo

    Compared to the Apple Pencil + iPad Pro combo, this has more buttons (and therefore more flexibility) in features. Where I think this lacks is in the pen tracking and the sensitivity of the Surface Pen. It often feels like I'm just not quite writing as precise. If you are an artist I would steer you away from the Surface side; however, if you write often and need a shortcut or two handy (pun intended!), the Surface Pro + Slim Pen combo is a better investment for you

    An indispensible tool for my art. The ergonomics is smooth. This is an optimal piece to anyone doing art on the Surface Pro. Its just unfortunate that the charger itself is sold seperately...

    Happiness is so convenient even though a separate mouse, or even the built-in keyboard works great. Sometimes I use it for my work also as a pointer for hybrid that I perform so it works wonderfully.

    I like it. i just wish it was included with the Premium Surface Studio Laptop. At an extra 159 dollars and beng a must have to get the full use out of the Surface Studio its kind of like being extorted. Like I said though, other than the price it is a nice must have piece of tech.

    Microsoft Surface pen has been pretty good since the beginning, I had a Pro 3 and the pen was excellent then. Precision and great responsiveness. The ability to be able to store in and charge it in the keyboard is a very nice change from the old version that had to be put in a loop hanging off the keyboard.

    Wonderful addition to my Surface Laptop Studio. Works well, enjoy the rechargeable battery, and overall fits well in my hands. Also worked on my Surface Pro 3. You miss out on some features present on the newer devices, but it does work on older devices, too.

    I don't use the pen that often, but when I do it feels good in the hand and is responsive on the tablet. It stores and wirelessly charges in the new signature keyboard in a clever way. Much better than the older pen that magnetically attaches to the side of the Surface and requires a battery replacement.

    Pricey and takes a moment to wake up to be used. Also need to buy a charger seperately unless you have a pen cover or signature keyboard.
