Como producto pues cumple su funcin, no obstante, tener que comprar un cargador un lpiz que ya te vale 120 euros pues es un atraco, pero bueno es lo que toca.
I jumped in and decided to buy this pen to go with a Surface Go 2. Before I purchased I did my research and thats when I found out that you require a charger that is NOT included which at the time of writing is 25.
The charger is not only required to charge the pen, but also is required to ‘wake’ the pen from a new purchase.
It does feel premium quality, except the eraser part which feels a little loose when holding it in your hand. So its not as premium quality as the Apple Pen which does not require a separate charger.
Using the pen on the Surface go 2 there is a VERY small delay from when moving the pen on the screen, this could be because of either the pen or just Windows 11 which I’m using.
The charger for the pen is a USB-C to USB-A, so you can’t charge it from the Surface Go 2 unless you have a dongle. Otherwise you have to purchase a USB-C to USB-C cable, so another extra cost.
Hope this helps others in deciding if they want to purchase or not. My advice would be to purchase the keyboard cover which comes with a trackpad in one purchase.
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
Combined with the Pro 8 or Laptop Studio, the surface slim pen 2 feels like writing on paper.
The incredibly low latency, accuracy of the fine tip and the haptic feedback in supported apps make it feel like a pen or pencil writing onto paper.
This smoothness has allowed me to use the surface pro 8 like any sheet of paper, something I struggled to do with the older surface pen paired with the tablet.
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
Ready to go right out of the box, this the third one that I’ve bought from amazon for no other reason than I keep losing them !! O/A well worth the money.
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.
When I purchased my Surface Go 2 I was shocked at the cost of the Microsoft peripherals and questioned their value. I initially bought a cheap pen to see if I would require one and actually found it hard to use and unreliable. Potentially not an input device I’d find useful.
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.
The Microsoft Surface Pen is well made with quality materials and feels good in the hand, responsive and accurate, nice add on accessory to my Surface Go. At 99 it’s overpriced, I paid 67 which is closer to the mark, but between 55 and 60 would be a more reasonable price IMHO.
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.
I have used two non-Microsoft pens on my surface pro. This is without a doubt far more comfortable and superior than either of those. I am a teacher working online during covid-19 lockdown and I have to mark onto pdfs of my students work. The other pens were tricky, I kept accidentally pressing the buttons on the side. This has one button on the side but I have not had that problem. I love the rubber at the end of this like a normal pencil, I don’t have to switch to eraser, just flick over the pen and use the other end, so much quicker. The weight of the pen is so much better too, I usually use a fountain pen and it is a similar weight so feels more natural. This also has a magnet in it and it sticks well to the magnet side of the surface pro, others that are only metal do not stick quite so firmly. Yes it was expensive and my school will not cover the cost (they would have paid for a 20-25 version) but I am spending so much time using it I don’t mind having paid the extra myself.
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.
Not too bad quite intuitive experience but wish it was explained more with more built in applications to use , doesnt work in many applications and most have to be paid or part of a subscriptio
I thought i dropped my pen in the car in a stop in austria and only realised after, i thought i lost it and was sad, 3 days later in north of italy i found it stuck to the outer body of the car thanks to the magnet.
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
I have had this pen now for about 2 hours. Before that I was using the pen for the Surface 3 Pro. The first thing I noticed about this is that if felt a bit heavier but when I started using it, that weight actually felt very natural, like using a quality pen. So far, I have no reasons to believe it is not an authentic Microsoft product because my Surface Go “Surface” app detected it correctly as an authentic Microsoft product. I decided to write this review particularly because writing with this is much better than my old pen. The old pen just didn’t produce the natural level of friction you get from writing with pen on paper – it was a bit too slippery. This reproduces that experience and makes it better.
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.
I wondered why this was cheaper than the other surface pens sold. The product code is different EYV-00010 instead of EYU-00010. It’s sold by Amazon, so I doubt it’s fake. The package states model No: 1776. Haven’t been able to find out much online regarding different product codes. I just got it today and so far it seems to work OK, tilt shading works on my surface pro 6. I will report back once I have had it for a week. Until then, I will leave a rating of 1 star.
* Update, is the original thing and a bargain at 60. Works well.
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!
Really disappointed that this isn’t included with the surface book 2 but oh well.
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.
