## Description

Create without limits. New Surface Pen is better and faster than ever, with precision ink on one end and a rubber eraser on the other — plus tilt for shading, greater sensitivity, and virtually no lag. Think With Ink: Windows and Office give Surface Pen more power than ever. Strikethrough words to delete, circle text to select, highlight using Ink Editor — and even replay the sequence of mark-ups from others. Easy Note-Taking: Taking and managing notes with OneNote is easier than ever. Do homework, replay notes to better remember your thoughts, and write out math equations that solve themselves using Ink Math Assistant — all in one place. No Printing Required: Streamline editing documents with digital inking. Use your Surface Pen to annotate and highlight text and the built-in digital ruler to set things straight. Writes like pen on paper: Surface Pen is a natural writing and drawing tool, with precision ink on one end that now enables tilt and a natural-feeling rubber eraser on the other. 4,096 pressure points: Sketch, shade, and paint with artistic precision and finer control with 4,096 pressure points that respond to the lightest touch. Responds to an artist’s touch: Effortlessly express the finest sketches and lines with Surface Pen. Rest your hand on the screen of your Surface device, just as you would writing on a notebook. Compatibility - Surface Book, Surface Book 2, Surface Studio 1st Gen, Surface Studio 2, Surface Laptop 1st Gen, Surface Laptop 2, Surface Go, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, Surface Pro 5th Gen, Surface Pro 6, Surface 3, Pen Tip Kit. What’s in the box: Surface Pen with HB tip installed; AAAA Battery.

Review: I may or may not be hoping for my Pro 3 to just suddenly crap out, in hopes of justifying a purchase of ... - To start off with, I'm actually using a Surface Pro 3 tablet, NOT the 2017 Pro... I may or may not be hoping for my Pro 3 to just suddenly crap out, in hopes of justifying a purchase of the latter. Until then, you're going to get a review and subjective results of this 2017 pen on a late, but great, Surface model. I have been using the Pro 3 with the Pro 4 pen for a long time, and debated over the switch to the 2017 Pen for the $100 price-point. After succumbing to the lure, I have to suggest that fellow Surface Pro 3 users do the same (and with 200% confidence for users still using the Pro 3 Pen... what have you been doing with your life!?). The biggest reason comes down to the lower initial activation force (IAF). Before biting the bullet, I remember reading conflicting reports and reviews on Reddit about whether Surface Pro 3 and 4's would support the IAF improvements. I can't do the objective testing now that I've sold my old pen, but can tell you that my writing has become notably more precise and consistent, which lower IAF would certainly result in. More objective examples of improvement: - With the Pro 4 pen, I had the pressure sensitivity setting at a 10 or 11 to accommodate for the many skips in handwriting I would get with my furiously scribbling notes. Of course, that resulted in a lot of over-pressurized and unwanted carry over lines and curves. With the 2017 Pen, my pressure setting is on anywhere between 4-7, and it's perfect. No skips! Some caveats: I do a ton of note-writing and doodling, but can't comment on drawing, shading, or any other 'real' artistic endeavors. In addition, improvements are more notable in Onenote and Sketchable, and less so in other apps (e.g., Xodo, Drawboard). I also scribble exceedingly fast, so that may explain why the IAF improvements have been obvious for me. If you're a normal human writing at sub-80mph speeds, maybe the differences won't be as noticeable? - With the Pro 4 pen, I had to use the 2H nil-friction nib because my handwriting looked the best (albeit still with intermittent under-recognition and over-pressurization issues noted above). However, with the 2017 Pen, I'm actually still able to use the standard HB pen, because the pen performance is better enough to overcompensate. Now I can simultaneously enjoy the slight friction across the screen, which is more reminiscent of real note-taking. Other reasons I like this new pen more: - The magnet inside the pen is much stronger. My pen is actually able to stick onto my Surface enough that I now feel comfortable tucking the whole device under my arm and walking around. - The annoying clip is gone. I never used it to begin with, and it just got in the way. You may feel the polar opposite about this, however. Of note, the advertised improvement in sensitivity levels is NOT available for Surface Pro 3 (or 4)! Microsoft promised a firmware update for the old Surface Pro's with support for the tilt-feature, but the specific release date still hasn't been announced. Some other tidbits of info you may care about: - The weight is exactly the same as the Surface Pro 3 Pen (20g). - It only comes with 1 nib (the HB one). I almost want to dock a star for this, because it's such a cheapskate sell to not include the pack of pen nibs (like Surface Pro 4 pens did), especially since the HB rubbery tip WILL wear down. If there's one thing I can swear to you, it's that. - Download the Surface app from the Microsoft store if you haven't already. You can adjust the pen pressure sensitivity and turn off the [annoying] Windows button. - I was able to use this pen and my old Pro 3 pen almost simultaneously. Each one was able to be recognized the moment I brought it to the screen. Ok, this may be a completely useless fact after all. - I found the following tips on various Reddit threads in improving pen precision and performance, and have definitely found them helpful (I made sure to adjust these after I used the 2017 Pen for >2 weeks, as to prevent confounding): 1) Go to control panel --> mouse settings ---> Pointer Options tab --> uncheck "enhance pointer precision" box. 2) Control panel --> Pen and Touch settings. Under Pen Options tab ---> go to press and hold settings --> uncheck "enable press and hold for right-clicking" box. Under Flicks tab --> uncheck "use flicks to perform..." box. Don't ask me why... just do it. I hope this review helps anyone using the Surface Pro 3 specifically! 2018 UPDATE: As much as I still love my Surface Pen, the Apple Pencil definitely outperforms it for both note-taking and drawing purposes. See the additional handwriting comparison sample I just uploaded. The differences are particularly noticeable when I'm scribbling quickly. (desertcart uploads images in a bizarre fashion, so you may need to zoom in a ton on the handwriting sample I uploaded.)
Review: Expensive, but worth it if you already dropped $1500+ on a Surface device - I got this to use with a Surface Book 3, it's more expensive than the generic surface pens but it beautifully matches the platinum color of my laptop. The erase function is one thing that I couldn't find replicated in any of the third party pens. They all have erase functions, but not one that you can flip around like an eraser. The button on the pen acts as a right click from a mouse. The button under the eraser can be programmed to open any number of apps. You have to pair this using the Surface app to get the full functionality of this product. This pen includes a AAAA battery already installed, this was something that I couldn't find a definitive answer about (before buying). The quality of the hardware is as good as Microsoft's tablets and laptops. Writing with this product feels better than the third party pen I have that costs $55, and it’s one of the best 3rd party pens available. I think this product is worth the money if you want the best experience and highest quality pen to use with your Microsoft device. Also, just because I want to correct some things that other reviewers have said- these surface pens require replacement tips and they are not included. The first tip is included but not the extras, you can buy them from Microsoft’s site or 3rd party ones on desertcart. You will have have to replace them every few months depending on how often you write with it. A worn out tip doesn’t mean it’s time for a new pen or that it’s a faulty product because it only lasted 3 months! Second thing- if this product is “shipped from and sold by desertcart services LLC” then it IS a genuine Microsoft product. I wish I didn’t need to amend my reviews to combat misinformation, but someone has to set the record straight.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WAY better than the competition!
*by R***S on August 1, 2020*

I’ve tried a bunch of surface pens at this point, and this one is by far the best. I use it primarily for writing in OneNote, and it’s awesome for that. It writes smoothly, and is not overly sensitive to changes in pressure (which makes it easier to have a consistent thickness when writing). I also really like how it has just one button on the side that I can use for lasso select, and an eraser on the end for erasing. All other surface pens I’ve found include both an eraser button AND a lasso select button on the side, which means it takes me longer to find the button I’m looking for (since I have to feel around for each one to make sure I’ve chosen the right one). Also, many other surface pens designs are completely evenly rounded, which means you often have to rotate the pen in your fingers for a while to find the side with the buttons. But since this pen’s side button is on a flat side, it makes it super quick and easy to find! The other fantastic thing about this pen is that it’s magnetic, so it sticks easily to the side of the surface tablet (which most other surface pens don’t). The only downside about this pen is that it’s more expensive than others, but I assure you that it’s well worth the price!
