So much for reliability! The pro 2 so far has had no problems apart from little bugs which seem to be getting ironed out with updates. Overall, the Surface Pro 3 Pen is an excellent tool for note-takers and digital artists looking for a realistic drawing experience on a tablet.Got the pro 2 absolutely killed my Mac Air which is collecting dust, had continuous trouble with my Mac which I had to always bring to the repair centre and they have changed it twice and each time loosing my work.

The stylus comes in silver, takes batteries, and has Bluetooth 4.0. It has a good weight of 20 grams, a substantial diameter of 9.5 millimeters, and a length of 135 millimeters. These cool functionalities are just a sweet bonus to an already great stylus.Īs far as looks go, the Surface Pen closely resembles a typical click pen. If you click the button twice, it saves your note to OneDrive. At the top, it has a purple button that can turn the tablet on and open OneNote with a single click. The pen features a little clip, too, so you can clip it to your shirt pocket or folder. It also has two handy buttons: one for erasing and the other for formatting options. So perhaps the stylus itself is not to blame for the problem, but rather the response of apps to those 256 levels of pressure.Īnother nice thing about the Surface pro 3 is that it blocks input from your palm, so if you love to rest your palm on the display while writing or drawing, you don’t have to worry about the touchscreen getting confused. In other apps, the pen performed better at solid dark lines, but couldn’t imitate the light sketchy quality found in FreshPaint. We quickly turned to other drawing apps for satisfaction. To get a solid black line using the pencil tool or a fine-tipped brush was an exercise in frustration. Any attempt at shading or capturing the darkest darks in a drawing fell flat. When exerting the same amount of pressure normally used to write a note in OneNote, resulted in a very weak looking line. We tested the Surface Pen in Microsoft’s preinstalled FreshPaint app and found the amount of pressure needed to draw a satisfyingly dark line was ridiculous. In practice, this technology is a bit iffy, though. Microsoft boasts that its pen can experience 256 different levels of pressure. The new stylus also features pressure sensitivity technology, which means that the harder you press down on the screen, the darker or thicker the line gets.

When we wrote and drew pictures with the pen, it felt effortless, like using an ink-based pen on a normal sheet of paper. In fact, it almost seems like there is no delay at all. The Surface Pro 3 has a great reaction time. The next step Microsoft took to make the Surface Pro Pen the beautiful stylus it is today, was to limit the latency, or delay time, between the moment when you finish drawing a line and the moment it appears on the screen. That’s pretty impressive. One of the things that helped Microsoft reduce the effect of parallax to that extent was its efforts to make a very thin display stack. After lots of practice and revision, the Surface Pen team managed to get the pen within 0.5 millimeters of perfection 98 percent of the time.

Doing so helped them track the accuracy of the cursor as it traveled across the display. They enlisted the help of a robot to mark the Surface Pro 3’s display at 2-millimeter intervals, in a grid pattern. Microsoft engineer Stevie Bathiche and Chris Whitman, the Surface Pen Program Manager, worked tirelessly to reduce parallax until it wasn’t even noticeable anymore.
