Microsoft Surface Pen - Platinum

Brilliant price for ‘a like new’ pen. Functions all perfectly with what appears to be anew nib and a batter that the surface pro 11 says is 60%. Instant pairing with the new surface.

There's very little to say about this pen; it writes on the page and draws accurately. My only gripe is that, in the world where everyone is watching their environmental use, this still uses batteries that you have to change. Making this chargable would be an obvious step forward from Microsoft. Saying that, I have had the item for around 2 months and the battery life has barely depleted. If you are going to use the Microsoft Surface as a tablet, then this item is a must as some pages require the pen rather than the finger, to scroll. If you have a keyboard or an external mouse then this item is not essential.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.

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.

Product arrived well packaged.Works very well with my Surface Laptop 5.Easy to connect.Make sure you order batteries as it doesn't come with any, despite the listing saying it does.Would have had 5 stars if the listing was accurate.

This is my second surface pen. The feel of this is very good- more of a matt feel. It works a treat although it took a while to connect as it was sent out with a flat battery! New battery - worked straight away!

does what it says on the packaging

I've been using this for my Microsoft go tablet for 3 years now and I've not once needed to replace the batteries yet (I do use it fairly often for uni). Dropped & threw this multiple times and it's not once broke xD Overall, very satisfied.

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.
