Quality product
The Good Guys are a great retailer. The service is exceptional, the staff are helpful and empathetic and never employ 'hard sell' tactics. It is always a pleasure to shop there and this item was no exception. The pen is excellent and, following the advice of the sales staff, does exactly what was needed. Thank-you!

Smooth writing
A great stylus. Charges quickly (don't forget to buy the separate charger if you need one). Very light to hold. The flat design takes a bit of getting used to, especially when using the older round surface pen (which I loved). It does allow for longer use without hand fatigue setting in due to the weightless feel. Charging of the pen is super-fast. I was very impressed with the price Good Guys were selling it for. Easily the best price in my area.

Great Adjunct to Any Microsoft Surface Device
This really adds to the capabilities of any of the Microsoft Surface devices. It charges either in the dock built into the keyboard of the Surface Pro X, 8 and 9. Alternatively there is a small charging dock available separately when using this pen with any of the other Surface devices.

Companion to Surface
This is the perfect companion to any of the Microsoft Surface devices. The pen is charged in the Pro X, 8 and 9 keyboards, or you can buy a separate charger dock. Recommended.

Q: Is the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2 compatible with every Surface device?
A: No. Surface Slim Pen 2 only works with Surface models that support inking, so it is not compatible with every Surface device.
Q: How does the Surface Slim Pen 2 charge, and does it use replaceable batteries?
A: It has a preinstalled rechargeable Li-ion battery, so there are no disposable batteries to swap out.
Q: Can the Surface Slim Pen 2 be used with a non-Surface Windows PC?
A: Yes, but only if the Windows PC supports pen input. A touchscreen alone is not enough, because the device must also support active inking. Features can vary on non-Surface hardware, so the full Slim Pen 2 experience is not guaranteed on every Windows PC.
Q: What controls are built into the Surface Slim Pen 2?
A: The pen includes a pen tip, a side button for right-click and select functions, an eraser and top button, plus an LED light. Those controls make it more useful for handwriting, quick shortcuts and navigation than a basic stylus with no programmable buttons.
Q: Why would the Surface Slim Pen 2 not work on some Surface laptops?
A: Because some Surface laptops do not support inking hardware at all. If the device does not support writing input, the Slim Pen 2 cannot be used for handwriting or drawing, even if the screen is modern and the laptop is otherwise part of the Surface range.
