Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2 - Black [8WX-00005]

Not used it a lot yet but promises to be a nice tool for artwork and hitting some of the tiny action buttons that sometimes pop up on the net that they don't want you to be able to select !

Brian's review of Surface Slim Pen 2 - Black

Pros: Still learning, but my interest was to be a position to sign live documents out on site. Risk assessments and method statements.Cons: The fact that I was not told to purchase pen charger separately, to my mind this should come a part of the item.

From a pen to a keyboard and back again.

Once upon a time, I programmed my ZX81 to carry out a regression analysis of three variables using its full 2 ( or was it 3?) kilobytes of memory. I felt like a computer guru, and everyone else sat back in amazement. Now, technology has advanced so much I am the one sitting back in awe of the power and capability of a wristwatch carrying more power than a thousand times the whole world had at that time. Purchasing a new laptop was therefore a nerve wracking experience. A language and technology as alien as trying to converse with an octopus. Scan computers was my interpreter and guide. Answering my questions with no hint of the amusement they must have raised. Patiently taking me through the process and tolerating my ignorance. So impressed was I, I bought a pen as ... MoreOnce upon a time, I programmed my ZX81 to carry out a regression analysis of three variables using its full 2 ( or was it 3?) kilobytes of memory.

I can now write my name on the screen without getting into trouble. I never thought I needed a pen again but that’s the full cycle of the technology. I can now write my book the way I know and love, and it will pop up in the way the computer literate publishers want.

Gergely's review of Surface Slim Pen 2 - Black

Pros: -Fast working-Rechargeable -easy drawingCons: I don't find any yet.

Great product, highly recommended!

A brilliant product that helps so much with creativity on the surface. Highly recommend!

Ideal especially with the keyboard

Pen performs well and stores nicely in the additional keyboard. It also charges in there too. I have never used the previous version or the fruity-based product equivalent, so have nothing to compare it to, but this is a great pen and does everything I need.

Judith's review of Surface Slim Pen 2 - Black

Pros: Works for both left and right handersCons: Might be better to be round not flat so it feels more like a pen

Microsoft outstanding quality as usual

This pen is perfect for my needs, I needed a pen to sign off my PDF reports.This makes it so easy, you can scribe in any colour from the pallet, it can be used for scrolling, and cut and move an item. Outstanding item, buy it you will not be disappointed

No charger

No way to use the pen unless you buy the charger. The keyboard it came with isn't even the right keyboard to charge the device. Very disappointing.

Richard's review of Surface Slim Pen 2 - Black

Cons: Does not come with a charger, this needs to be bought seperately. Does not work without initial 30 second charge. Typical Microsoft
