Microsoft Surface Pen Stylus

Designed for digital artists, students, and professionals who demand precise input on their Microsoft Surface devices, the Microsoft Surface Pen Stylus elevates your creative and productive workflows. This premium stylus delivers a natural, pen-like writing experience with responsive pressure sensitivity, accurate cursor control, and intuitive gestures that translate your ideas into digital reality. Whether you’re sketching delicate illustrations, annotating lecture notes, signing documents, or delivering on-the-fly presentations, this stylus is engineered to reduce friction and accelerate your workflow. Its ergonomic grip, lightweight form, and seamless integration with Surface software create a seamless bridge between your hand and screen, so you can focus on your ideas instead of wrestling with input tools. From classroom notes to professional design work, the Surface Pen Stylus is built to adapt to your daily tasks and help you work faster, more precisely, and with greater confidence.

• Pin-point precision and pressure sensitivity: The Surface Pen Stylus captures a wide range of pressure and tilt inputs, allowing thick to thin line variation and nuanced shading in digital artwork. This makes it ideal for line work, calligraphy, annotation, and precision diagramming across apps like Fresh Paint, Sketchable, OneNote, and Whiteboard. The natural pen-on-screen feel is enhanced by tactile tip feedback, so your strokes mirror traditional media while staying fully digital.
• Natural writing experience with palm rejection: The stylus is engineered for a comfortable, authentic handwriting experience. With responsive input that tracks your hand movements smoothly, you’ll notice reduced input lag and a more intuitive sensation as you write, draw, or annotate. Palm rejection ensures your accidental resting of the hand on the screen won’t create stray marks, allowing for longer sessions without interruptions.
• Seamless Surface integration and compatibility: This pen is designed to work smoothly with the Surface family, including Surface Pro, Surface Laptop, Surface Book, and Surface Studio. It integrates with built-in applications like OneNote, Whiteboard, and Microsoft Edge annotations, as well as third-party note-taking and art apps. Quick-access shortcuts via the top button streamline your workflow, enabling you to open notes, erase, or perform right-click actions without leaving the screen.
• Ergonomic, all-day comfort: The balanced, lightweight design provides a natural grip that reduces hand fatigue during long drawing sessions or extended note-taking. The cylindrical form fits comfortably in hand and rests securely between your fingers, enabling precise control without cramping. Its compact profile also makes it easy to stash in a bag or sleeve for on-the-go work or study sessions.
• Effortless power, quick actions, and reliable pairing: The Surface Pen Stylus is powered to deliver reliable performance with long-lasting battery life (battery type varies by model). The top button can be customized to perform essential quick actions—such as launching OneNote, erasing, or right-clicking—so you can stay focused on your task rather than hunting for tool options. Pairing is straightforward via Bluetooth, and once connected, the pen remains ready for precise input across supported Surface apps.
