Microsoft Surface Pen Platinum Model 1776 (EYU-00009)

I bought a $5 one and a $30 one for my windows surface wanting to save some money , they just don't do the job. Very high quality, uses AAAA battery that is easy to find. Very good build quality and feels good to write on. Perfect weight and feels nice in the hand. A must have for artists to get the 4000 pressure points. You can make nice shades and really acts like a pencil when drawing. In terms of the style, I really like how it looks. Looks very nice with the windows surface and matching. I also like how it attaches well to the side of the windows surface. This works by magnets and it works on both the right and left side of the surface which is very nice. You feel like you are writing on a very smooth surface with the nice pen tip material. It doesn't come with any case but I just put it in the pen pocket of my surface bag which is very common in surface bags. Order the AAAA batteries from Ebay 2 months before you need it, its cheapest there.

Es original. Tenía uno genérico de marca Metapen que me daba muchos problemas para escribir o hacer trazos. Por ahorrarme unos pesos me salió caro y con grandes disgustos. Pero este es original. Se siente completamente de calidad y cumple muy bien. Eso sí, asegúrate de conseguir pilas AAAA ya que la que viene con el producto está descargada 10/10

This review applies to the Platinum Surface Pen in use with a Surface 2017 model. The official Surface Pen has proved excellent in use. It is comfortable in my hand, feels natural against the touch screen, writes with no lag, has flawless palm rejection and attaches firmly to the magnetized side of the device. My only problem with the hardware was that it failed to pair automatically with my Surface as the enclosed instructions stated it would. Though far from expert, I'm comfortable with technology and was able to pair it manually in seconds. I suspect my experience was atypical so I did not subtract any stars because of this. Although I use my Surface primarily as a laptop with the Type Cover, adding this Surface Pen definitely expands its functionality. When precision mousing is required, such as in photo editing or using OneNote's drawing tools to make a garden plan, I can be more accurate using the pen's mouse buttons than using the track pad or a conventional mouse. Thanks to the programmable eraser button, with one click I can open a OneNote page to quickly jot something down without hunting for pen and paper even if I'm in the middle of doing something else with my computer. I am no artist, but I have poked around in my amateurish way with drawing apps that support direct on-screen inking and the conventional kind of program that would be used with a graphics pad and stylus. In my non-expert opinion, the Surface Pen would be an invaluable tool for any real digital artist. Finally, a tip for the thrifty: the platinum pen, the least expensive color option, matches the metal casing of the Surface. It won't match your Type Cover, but it won't clash with it either. So unless you're bent on making a fashion statement, pick the platinum model and save a few bucks.

arrived in very safe package, and works very fine, fluid and accurate. the pressure sensitive tips feels premium.very pricey in India.

I don't know why I got myself one - the darn thing is so pricey, and the only thing I can draw is a Coconut Tree that somehow ends up looking like Bin Laden' beard... Got myself one just to complete my Surface Pro though - I got mine (the SP4) without the Pen, but with the Type Cover... Simple but effective packaging by Amazon, though it took its own sweet time to arrive. The Surface Pen Platinum does not work with all the features (for example, Tilt and all 4096 Pressure Levels) on the SP4, as it does on the SP 2017 Edition... Having never used a Digital Pen all my life, I need to now use it! So far, I have just put in about 30 Minutes usage! Initial impressions are therefore that; - Its a Magnificent piece of Architecture - The Weight and Grip are just sooo right - Snaps Strongly onto the SP, yet, easy to grab out and work with it too! - It GLIDES over the SP's Screen, making a slight Ssss sound - feels Great! - Works as my finger, works as a Pen too - More than losing it, I am mortally scared of dropping it on its Tip... Shudder!! - Where do I get cheap, long-lasting AAAA Batteries from, next year, for the Surface Pen??? Edit after a year plus of using the Surface Pen: the Batteries are still over 50%, so I can put off buying replacement Batteries for another year! Batteries cost a small fortune too... And err. although I haven't suddenly turned into an Artist, I do love having the Pen around, to sign Digital Documents or just to wow people! 😁😎
