Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2 - Black

Product Information

However, there are a couple of areas where there's room for improvement. The battery life, while decent, could be better. Also, the pen occasionally experiences some latency, which can be a bit frustrating when you're in the middle of a detailed piece of work. If you own a Surface Pro 8 or Surface Laptop Studio, or are considering buying one, then you should absolutely get the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2. It's a smartly designed stylus with some unique features as well as a clever design. Like its predecessor, the Surface Slim Pen 2 charges via a built-in USB-C connector, so you can just plug it directly into a USB-C port to recharge it. It can also wirelessly charge when slipped into the Signature Keyboard (compatible with the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Pro X) or magnetically attached to the Surface Laptop Studio — just like the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil, which can attach magnetically to most modern iPads for pairing and charging.

Press and hold the top button of your pen for 5-7 seconds until the LED light flashes white to turn on Bluetooth pairing mode. While the Surface Slim Pen 2 looks almost the same as its predecessor on the outside, on the inside are new features that rival those of the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil. I mentioned the haptics earlier, and this is the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2's best and worst feature, in some ways, as it is fantastic but only if the app you're using supports the feature. Many art apps don't, and in this case, such as Rebelle 6, it can feel less impressive.

Surface Slim Pen 2 for Business can charge with Surface Slim Pen Charger for Business, Surface Pro Signature Keyboard for Business, Surface Pro X Signature Keyboard for Business, Surface Laptop Studio for Business and Surface Duo 2 Pen Cover for Business.

The shape too makes it easy to use in long runs of creativity, though I did find myself adjusting the pen between my fingers more than I have done with a regular drawing tablet stylus, such as those from Wacom and Huion.
