MicrosoftSurface Pen Platinum Model 1776 (EYU-00009)

Works awesome. The red color is awesome. Love the rubber top/button and the rubber tip. Makes it feel like a real pencil or something.Only thing I'd note is that there is no clip or hook or anything and it's pretty slippery. I wish there were like skins or something for this. You also need to be really careful with it. This is the second one I've had to buy because it rolled off my standing desk and stopped working.

Had to retire my old tilt pen which I used on the daily for note taking on my Spectre aw0xxx, because a soft drop from my desk caused the tip to break and bricked the pen.Just experienced a much harder drop of my new surface pen on the floor and this time the initial impact was straight on the 2H tip, not a scratch! The fragility of the HP tilt pen (and the rest of the hp pens that carry a similar design) is it's main flaw, and the surface pen has nothing of that!Some more advantages I noticed:+ No more battery anxiety because a single AAAA battery will last me over 2 semesters easily with Bluetooth features enabled. That is compared to around 10 days a charge for the hp tilt pen w/o Bluetooth or 8 hours with Bluetooth on. A rechargeable pen isn't for everyone, certainly not for me.Add the peace of mind of having a rechargeable battery degrade on me over the next 10 or so years which the pen could easily outlive, the AAAA is countering this planned obsolescence and is pro consumer in that regard.+ High quality nibs are abundant and affordable. Found a 3-pack of high quality uogic nibs (survived a 1m drop onto my floor) cost me the equivalent of 7 USD on Ali (couldn't get a set shipped to me from amazon because I'm not from the US). That is the opposite of the case with my former hp tilt pen, 0 official replacement nibs and the only ones that I could fit on it (surface pro 3 pen nibs) eventually broke inside of it effectively breaking it entirely. Another point towards being pro consumer compared to HP.+ The magnets in the pen can latch onto my spectre laptop in about 8 different spots, it's not designed to do that on a non surface device per se but it's definitely nice because it's harder to lose/drop from the desk this way. HP pens have no magnets.+ The better weight balance over the HP pen makes the flip-to-erase function (which the hp pen also has) actually practical. I had to shift my entire hand to a different position on my old hp pen but that isn't the case with the surface pen which actually feels like a slightly heavier pencil that is still easy to flip over to erase with.+ Still fits in the pen pocket of the oem Spectre laptop sleeve- No clip means it rolls slightly more easily on my desk than the HP pen but being able to magnetically attach to my spectre counters that.- No dark coloured optioned, only light blue/silver/red. I don't find it a big deal since at the end of the day I used it as a tool and not a fashion accessory but I slightly miss my Tilt pen completely matching my Logitech mouse's colour scheme.Considering the surface pen and the HP Tilt pen have similar MSRPs where they're sold, The only reason i could see any HP convertible owner buying an hp pen is either blind brand loyalty or needing a rechargeable battery.

Unless your Microsoft Surface laptop is compatible with the second version of this pen, this is THE BEST PEN YOU CAN GET FOR YOUR SURFACE. I tried to cheap out on a pen before this one, and it didn't work very well software wise and it broke pretty quickly physically. This pen is beautiful, has a great weight to it, and it very accurate when writing, drawing, and overall just touching the screen. I love that you don't have to charge the battery, and the AAAA batteries it does take are cheap and last quite a long time. Would recommend.

Real legit surface brand pen, paired easy and works perfect

The Surface pen I received is in pretty good condition: one very small nick on the barrel of the pen, and what looks like a scuff mark on the top button (may be able to clean that up - haven't tried yet).The pen came in what looks like the original box, but there were no extra pen nibs included (which were included the last time I bought a Surface pen new). There was one nib installed in the pen, but it is already slightly bent and, from lots of years using Surface pens, I'd guess its only a week or two from breaking. So, I will have to purchase more nibs to go along with the pen.

I have been using this pen with my Surface for about a year. I've had no problems at all with it. It works just as expected. It's weighted nicely and is a good size, even for bigger hands. It has good sensitivity when handwriting. Nothing to complain about.

Arrived ahead of schedule, perfect shape and works like a charm, they even threw in a spare battery
