Bought for use with Windows machine. I can safely say good quality as I have had it 3 years good buy
If you find a deal on this, go for it than the cheaper other brands.
Expensive but works great and is the original for the surface series. Tilt and other functions work grea
I’d tried with cheaper alternatives. Should have saved my money and gone with the MS pen from the start, they are made for the job!
he pen looks new and the price was so low, it came with a battery as well, extremely pleased. It is the real Microsoft pen not a fake one as well
I’ve been using the HP spectre x360 for the past 5 years now and writing on it using the HP pen. All I can say is this surface pen has been a major improvement. My previous pen used to lose accuracy throughout the day as it’s power got lower, but since this is battery powered it stays nice and consistent for very long periods of times. The buttons/eraser feature are so very convenient and quite ergonomically designed. You really can’t go wrong with this pen if you are gonna use it for everyday note taking/drawing.
I was a bit doubtful when i realised that the retailer wasn’t actually Microsoft but the pen actually works very well with my surface pro 7 and looks identical to the pen I purchased with my laptop. There is a slight difference in weight though as this pen is much lighter than my old one but it works excellently.
I use this with MS Go2. Works very well, accuracy and ease of use are good, but unfortunately the Go2 screen is a little bit slippy for it to be completely accurate in the very fine detail. However I aim to try it with a paper-feel screen protector and expect the pen to really come into its own.
The pen wasn’t as easy to set up at the instructions said it was. but once up and running, it works perfectly.
I only paid 46 as there was an offer but worth the price not the rrp
bought this product to use with my surface pro after finding it difficult to write on work sent by teachers in lockdown. I decided to buy the original as at the time it was only few ‘s more than others. A year on im happy with buying this and not encountered any issues whatsoever. The product has proved to be very useful during the first and second lockdown as a GCSE student.
However I decided to finally purchase the official Microsoft pen and its a delight to use. It feels well balanced, has a positive feel when writing, its much more accurate than the cheaper pens and now feels like an important input device rather than a cumbersome unreliable alternative.
Think as the Microsoft pen as the equivalent of a quality Parker pen. And a cheap copy as trying to use a broken biro where the ink intermittently stops.
Recommend this pen.
Very easy to get up and running – like in the days before things were digitised (showing my age there).
The only loss of a star is because it’s a tiny bit laggy when using photoshop for detailed work. Not bad enough for a bad review, but when I’ve spent over 2k on a microsoft machine, and then have to buy the pen on top, I kind of expect something that works flawlessly. It’s nearly there, but not quite.
No complaints on the functionality of this product. It definitely makes life easier. I guess if I was to be picky and find a fault it would be that if you pull the end out where the battery sits, you have to reconfigure the pen to the functions you want. But as long as you don’t pull the end out you’re ok.
For me, the issue is the price. Well overpriced. It’s good, and I appreciate the technology, research and background of the design etc, but the cost outweighs the benefit. I wouldn’t buy it again at this price if this one ever breaks down. I’d rather stick to touchscreen with my fingers.
This is my second pen and I don’t know why but it is lighter and made with a slightly different coating to my other pen. This one is platinum and my other one is burgundy. This one is lighter and with the coating it is so easy to hold and to use, an absolute delight. While the burgundy one is heavier and is super gloss which means it keeps sliding in your hand.
Bought this product so I can use it with my Surface Pro 6 and it has been great. Allows me to write my uni notes really easily. However the bib of the pen has seemed to bend and it is not straight. Considering it has only been a few months old I am disappointed with this. I can buy a new pack of nibs from Microsoft however I shouldn’t need to spend extra when I have spend 60 in the first place. Apart from this the product is good for uni students looking to take notes on their surface pro product.
Accurate and pressure sensitive pen which works perfectly on my Surface Pro 3 (minus the shading capability when you lean the pen which isn’t supported).
It feels solid in the hand and not too heavy to write with. The soft rubber tip makes it feel more natural than I was expecting; not quite like paper but maybe halfway there.
It’s a little pricey for what it is and sadly doesn’t have a erase button along the edge so you have to flip the pen to erase which, although intuitive, is annoying.
This pen survived from austria going to the highway crossing the border to italy and climbing 2000m from sea level and still managed to hol itself to the car an work
The only reason why I am giving the product a 4 star is because I can’t seem to open the battery compartment – too tightly closed!
This was a cool addition to my Surface set-up which I occasionally use, but it was expensive I feel for what it is. It has a lot of good features, such as magnetic attachment to the Surface when not in use & a various buttons… Just not worth over 50 in my opinion.
If I’m honest, the Bluetooth functionality of this pen saves little time, especially when all the features are available after a short tap on the taskbar, but it’s a nice feature. The pen function itself is extremely accurate, arguably comparable to writing with a real pen. It goes without saying that this pen works best with the Surface series of products, but I do believe it will work with other computers that support Pen input. You may, however, be better looking into a pen that is slightly cheaper. With this device, you are truly paying for the reliability of Surface.
* Update, is the original thing and a bargain at 60. Works well.
I’ve used it on drawing software and on the Microsoft Maps software which lets you draw on the map, and it seems accurate to me. Note: I am not a professional artist so cannot asses this for complete accuracy.
Works really well and gives alot of added flexibility for the use of the surface. Great for taking notes by hand or typed on the train/during lectures. Can honestly say I don’t use paper anymore for my personal notes.
Only criticisms are the price and the lack of replacement nibs for the pen.
Coupled with my newly purchased SP6, the Surface Pen provides the full Surface experience. I used this pen daily for 2-4 hours, and it provides the best note taking experience that is right up there with the iPad (with more functionality). Only down point is mine stopped functioning out of the blue. Microsoft have exchanged for a brand new pen with no quarrels within 7 days even with Christmas and New Year right in the middle!
Pairs really fast and the battery seems to last forever (the level can be seen in the settings menu).
The accuracy and latency are slightly worse than the apple pencil but you can’t code on an iPad so this was my only option as a computer science student.
Also when using OneNote with the pen, you cant use the pressure sensitivity at the smallest pen size in the software so you have to use the next size up which then makes you use a more spaced outlined background (this took me forever to figure out what was going on).
Microsoft please include this in future surface computers and please drop the price ~100 is crazy for how basic this is.
