I just asked the question about Surface Slim Pen 2

AI offers interesting answers:

Yes, the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2 is compatible with the Surface Book 1. It's also compatible with Surface Book 2 and 3. 

Features of the Surface Slim Pen 2 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, 77 degrees of tilt, Sharper tip for finer points, and Digital eraser on the top of the pen. 

Other devices that the Surface Slim Pen 2 is compatible with: 

• Surface Laptop Studio
• Surface Pro 3–8
• Surface Pro X
• Surface Duo 1 and 2
• Surface Go 1, 2, and 3
• Surface Hub 2S
• Surface Studio 1 and 2
• Surface Laptop 1–4

77 degrees of tilt is much stronger than usual vodka's 40°-42°․

I like it already. However, a new genuine MS Slim Pen 2 goes for about a Hundert Amerikanishes money ($86-$90 if new)

Sobering explanations:

Both pens have identical sketch features, tilt functionality, and 4,096 levels of pressure.

The Slim Pen does away with the removable battery (a downside in my opinion), and instead features wireless charging which only works with the Pro X. You can also recharge it via USB-C, which bridges that gap for older Surface devices.

The magnets are not designed for the older Surface devices, and will not stick the pen securely to the side of your device.

If you have the Surface Pen, there is absolutely no reason to upgrade to the Slim Pen.

If you have no pen, the Surface Pen is better functionally for your device.

If you have a Surface Pro X, you should get the slim pen

The discussion continues:

Hi, I'm interested in the Surface Slim Pen but I have two doubts:

1. Since the battery is not replaceable, I wouldn't want to spend a lot of money on a pen that doesn't charge after a short time. What is the approximate number of recharge cycles (lifespan) of the battery?

2. Since the tips are not replaceable, does the tip wear out or get rounded? From what I have read the tip can be removed but there are no spare parts.

I wouldn't want to spend more on the Slim Pen while the classic Surface Pen has both battery and replaceable tips and therefore lasts "forever".

I don't actually have the Slim Pen, but I bet the battery would last 2 years without degrading noticeably. I just prefer removable batteries, just in case.

I've only replaced the tip on my Surface Pen once, in 3 years of ownership. I bet the Slim Pen's tip is a bit stronger by design, although I have no actual idea.

I have two questions for you!

Do you have a Surface Pro X? If not, what Surface are you buying the pen for?

And do you already have a pen?

Hello and thanks for the reply and information. Microsoft has told me for now that the tip has a titanium base so it lasts a long time without wearing out. I don't have the Surface Pro X because it costs too much for what I have to do with it and what it allows to do is limited given the ARM architecture on which only certain programs can be installed and run, so even if it is nice, I would go even if it costs more on the Surface Book. I would like to buy the pen for the Surface Go 2 and I already have an Asus pen but the experience was very bad. If you have any questions on which I can help you, ask of course. Thank you again, Luca.

I'd get the regular Surface Pen because A: Its much cheaper, and B: its designed for the Surface Go 2, will stick to the side of it with magnets and etc. Plus it has all the same functionality.

The Slim Pen pairs well with the Pro X and nothing else

Yes, my doubt was in fact choosing between the Surface Pen and the Slim Pen. I was oriented towards the Slim because it is lighter, I have read that there have been improvements even though both have 4096 levels of pressure, the fact that it does not fix is ​​not a huge problem for me, then I prefer the harder tips like Apple Pencil than to those of the old Surface Pen, the doubt was in fact about the battery life and the tips. Now I keep informing me and then I will make a decision, thank you very much for the answer and advice.

I have the first gen Surface Book and I actually just got a Surface Slim Pen just this weekend myself from antonline through Amazon. Definitely doesn't hold well if you try attaching it to where you normally do on the side of the screen.

However, a trick I discovered though is that it seems to attach a lot better towards the bottom of the screen near where the base connects to the tablet section. So what I do now is I just put my Surface Slim Pen on the back of the tablet section towards the bottom right corner. That way it's also convenient for me to grab as I'm right handed. Not the best place to place it compared to where it was before but probably a bit more secure as I could give it a good sha...

Sweet pen! Clip Studio is not my first choice, and whatever interesting features it has they are not free:

Fakes can be had at around $30. For Apple's, it's like this:

ArtRage has just walked away from me. Two weeks trial has ended, and I was left with just this:

I've no $50 on me. I've no $35 for the cheapest pen, and no $128 for the cheapest drawing tablet.
