About the Product

Launch an app on your tablet from your pen with a programmable Bluetooth feature that you can pair with your choice of frequently-used software.
Create without limits. New Surface Pen is better and faster than ever, with precision ink on one end and a rubber eraser on the other — plus tilt for shading, greater sensitivity, and virtually no lag. Think With Ink: Windows and Office give Surface Pen more power than ever.
