Experience the ultimate modern writing experience with Surface Pen. It works with Surface 3, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book via Bluetooth connectivity. Write, draw, or mark-up documents - digitally. Take notes to quickly capture your thoughts, and instantly convert to text for sharing and searching. The Surface Pen feels more like a pen on paper than a stylus. With 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, rather than 256 levels of previous generation, you can paint and draw with precision and control like never before. A top button and a right-click button are cleverly placed for easy access, with which you can quickly open OneNote and activate your digital assistant, Cortana. Plus, with four pen tips (2H, H, HB, and B) to choose from and three color options, you can always find a Surface Pen that's right for you.
Write and Draw, Naturally
Surface Pen feels as natural as pen on paper. It has precision ink on one end and an eraser on the other. Palm Block technology ignores the pressure from your hand when it senses you’re using Pen. And with 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity and reduced latency, Surface Pen draws and paints with the artistic precision and control you want.
Your Notes, Better than Ever
Write and draw directly on your screen, convert your handwriting to text, and even highlight in PDFs and documents. Cleanup is simple when you use the eraser button located on the top of Pen, and you can access formatting options using the right-click button on the side. And since all your notes are digital, sharing and searching is simple.
One Click to OneNote or Cortana
Don’t let another flash of inspiration pass you by. One click of Surface Pen opens a blank OneNote. Click and hold brings up Cortana for instant access to your personal digital assistant. She offers time, people, and location-based reminders, and even helps you book dinner reservations.
Make It Yours
Express yourself with one of the vibrant Pen colors designed to mix and match with the Type Cover. Choose a pen tip with the right feel for you. Stay with the medium tip with the familiarity of a #2 pencil, or swap it with a low friction tip similar to a fine point pen. Choose from one of 4 tips in our Surface Pen Tip Kit.
Smart Power
The embedded accelerometer senses when you’re not using Pen and conserves your battery, giving you up to 18 months of battery life.
Magnetic surface
Use the magnet on the flat side of the cap to attach your Surface Pen (Surface Pro 4 version) to the side of your Surface 3, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, or Surface Book or to any convenient magnetic surface.
LED
- When the pen is in pairing mode, the LED glows white.
- When the battery is low, the LED glows red.
Top Button
Bluetooth technology links your Surface Pen to your Surface:
- Click and hold the top button to wake up Cortana or Search, then enter your question on the screen.
- Click the top button to open OneNote.
- Double-click to take a screenshot and paste it into OneNote.
To erase, flip the pen over and use the top as an eraser.
Right-Click Button
The tip end of the raised area on the flat side of the pen works as a right-click button in many apps.
Hold the button down as you tap the screen. In some apps, the right-click button may behave differently.
Tip
Choose your favorite tip from the Pen Tip Kit (sold separately). The tips work with the Palm Block technology and multi-point sensitivity built into your Surface to let you write and draw naturally.
