    Good surface pen

    Feels kinda funny with the flat form factor, and that will take some getting used to. But a welcome change is the rechargeable power supply, so no more batteries! Seems like it will hold up fine.

    Charging your pain on the go

    If charging your pen on the go is important for you, then you can invest in this pen. However, you also need to invest in a special keyboard to that houses the pen and charges.

    Definitely a Worthy Upgrade

    Definite upgrade from previous Surface pens. Smooth writing and responsiveness. Definitely better than the previous Surface pens and the "cheap" feeling "nibs". Better than the Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus.

    Nice pen, but doesn't stick to Surface Pro 7

    Writes and draws well and is rechargeable, BUT I use it on Surface Pro 7 and the two magnets on the Surface Pro DO NOT line up with the ones on the pen. They are two far apart so you can only get one end of the pen to stick at a time and it keeps falling off!!!!! How can you charge $100 for the pen and $800 for the Surface and they magnets don't line up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Returning tomorrow!!!!!!!!

    It’s a stylus.

    Works well but don’t really use it very often. The main problem is that the magnet is too weak and doesn’t really stay attached to the phone when out and about.

    Pen is a disappointment

    Seems to lose charge far too quickly when working continuously with pen. Apps seem to lose connection intermittently, perhaps because of depleted battery. Also magnetic attachment to laptop is a great idea, but there are specific locations that have magnets that aren't immediately obvious, and in which pen orientation. Some simple correlating markings would be a great enhancement.

    Not worth the high cost

    I am sure for some, this is a great pen, but I have rarely used it nor ever liked it. I always felt it was to hard for the tablet surface and feared scratching or damaging the screen. Secondly, for the extremely high cost of the pen, I can never convince myself to carry it out with my tablet when away from home. It doesn't fit properly in the stylus holder of my protective case due to the odd rectangular shape nor does it feel comfortable in my hand.

    Love this thing. Sensitive without being too sensitive. Nice capabilities. Sits well in the hand and doesn’t roll away like my apple pen.

    This pen is not worth what they charge. It does write nicely and works with MS products well, but too high.

    Love this pen. I had to replace my old one. The rechargeable part of this is great. My last pen needed AAAA batteries which are not easy to find.

    This is one of the best pens for any surface tablet. the feel of the rounded rectangle shape and full pencil tip make this a competitor to the apple pencil

    The slim pen is pretty good. I really don't use it very much to be honest. I do wish it had more functional capabilities and a digital pointer
