Thank you!! This hits home on several of the points I've been questioning about the surface vs other devices. Too many people hate on the Surface for not having the absolute best drawing application even though it is not meant to be used solely as a drawing tablet and thus is not up to par with brands like Wacom. Having said this, when I went to my local bestbuy and practiced on it for a while, I found the experience to be extremely enjoyable. It truly felt like I had a FANTASTIC drawing tablet to work with. I think your review places emphasis in all the right places!
Microsoft products with 30 day return policy. This sufficient time to form your subjective opinion. As a student, who uses the slim pen for extended periods, I can confirm that it's ergonomic.
Thank you for the video. I just got the slim pen and I wanted to know if you know any tip replacements for this device. As it's a new tip design I cannot find any. pls help!
The surface pen was hard for me to hold, so big and round and clunky. I dropped it once and it broke within 5 days of owning it. That's why I chose this pen instead. Hopefully it will be better
@@CladioJulianoArt Bought it over the weekend. Best ergo stylus so far. Been doing this stuff for 20 yrs. Just don't like how I have to buy 3rd party apps just to change the buttons and to have hoover click but it's what we go so far. And no I'm not taking about launching apps with buttons. Going to take it through a quick design project this weekend using Photoshop, zbrush and 3dsmax on a surface go. Lets see how much of this can we inject into a real pipeline.
It works with Surface Go, but I have a few complaints about that compatibility. The charging tray is USB-A so it can't charge from the USB-C which is the only USB port on the Surface Go. So you need a dongle or a breakout hub to charge the pen, which you kind of need anyway. It's also too short to stick well to the side of the Surface Go. There's top and bottom magnets, and the Slim can't *quite* reach between them, so it can only connect to one of those, so it detaches too easily but sort of works.
Hello! Are Slim Pen and Slim Pen 2 very different in how they work? I have the 1st generation and I can not understand if it needs to be changed. Thank you.
Slim Pen 2 is better. It’s input is better than the first generation and it has a different tip design/architecture so tilt is much more natural on slim pen 2. All around the input is better, however I think that is in combination with the newer machines like Pro 8 and Pro 9. So if you have an older gen I’m not sure if you would see the difference. Although I still think you’d get more natural tilt with the newer tip.
The dock is a no go for me. i am on a Surface Pro and just got a small case for it, so caring the charging doc also is a no go for me. i like the year battery from the previous.
One thing I am really hoping for is how a long time ago when the tablet pc cane out and they cared about how it felt you had two options, you could choose the feeling as if you were writing on glass or you could choose as if you were writing on paper, you actually felt the texture! ! I think it had to do with the tip but also perhaps a screen cover. I'm not sure about that. I can't imagine they would build something awesome like this and not add this feature. Can you tell me if they added this function? Of course the amazing Wacom feeling where you can do shading and thicker lines when pressing harder is essential too but it seems they até going crazy losing functions!!! +sob*
I am not sure if the tablet/pen has this feature, however, I do know that there are screen protectors out there which can do the same thing. The screen protector I heard about is called “paper thin” and it’s supposed to add a bit of resistance so that when you write on it, it actually feels like you are writing on paper
It's def not a design that works for everyone. It works well for me because I float my hand when I work and switch from regular hold to the traditional style hold.
Hi. Can you please tell me you work around for the 'line jitter' so many people report when using Surface Pros to draw? (please give my comment a thumbs up if you reply so i am notified). Thank you!
Use software that's setup for the pen for the best experience, like Clip Studio Paint. Jitter is low level in something like Clip, and it's something that only happens on slow diagonal lines.
Siddhartth I didn’t find it to have that high of an initial force. Very light strokes were registering with little issue for me. I felt the difference between the round pen, but more so because of the difference in tip hardness. I find the eraser to have really poor initial force and I barely ever use it because of that, but that’s also because it doesn’t have its own separate system wide curve.
@@CladioJulianoArt can you please compare the initial activation force with awacom cintiq pro line? The newer wacom Cintiq pros are not exactly feather touch like a Apple Pencil but they are definitely very acceptable for me. I am really curious about about the difference.
@Siddhartth I don't currently own any Wacom stuff right now, but if grab something from them I will. However, I had the latest intuos Pro for a while. The pencil & wacoms stuff have the best/lowest initial force. I would say the 4K surface pen is a few notches away from them. However, setting the system pen pressure helps balance things out.
@@CladioJulianoArt thanks for answering all these questions, you helped me decide on the 4k surface pen! I just don't have a need for the extra cost cause of how I work :D
I don't know the exact amount of hours but it lasts a long time. I have used it for days without charging, but it also depends on which version you have.
A Lin I would say probably not because it’s such a different design but it’s hard to say because the regular surface pen is larger all around so it may work.
Microsoft slim pen does not work with Surfsce pro7 and you will not find this on Microsoft's website and youtube are not a single thing about this. I have tested two different pens one from Amazon and one from Microsoft none of them did not work. They worked for a while and then sent a signal that made the touch function not work. Why am I writing this because a week ago I bought a Microsoft pen, the previous model that works with a battery. It works very well and it has not happened that the touch function does not work once. If you read the Microsoft product specification for slim pen you see that it says that pen works with Surface pro7 Which is not true in practice.
There isn’t, at least not that I know of. I don’t think there was ever a way to charge it wirelessly. The charging dock needed to be plugged into a port in order for it to work.
The pen doesn’t turn off or on, you just pick it up and it works and the battery can go for a good chunk of time before needing a charge, but the new slim pen 2 can only be charged in the newer surface type cover. They no longer sell a dock, so the slim pen 2 can only be charged with a newer surface type cover. This video was the first generation.
Microsoft Surface Pro (5th Gen) (Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB). hi my surface pen tip is not working. If I buy a replacement what is your recommendation?
i spent some time in-store with the stock round pen. i found the springy feel really annoying for quick hatching lines. the lines were short and quick. it was hard to tell when the pen made contact and sometimes the lines would register late or not at all... looked pretty sloppy, using sketchbook pro. is there a tip for the round pen that doesnt have that springy feel? btw great video
Sebastian Weber Thanks. Well, there is the pen tip kit which has a triangle tip variant in it that is similarly shaped to the tip of the slim pen, but they are a bit different in design and very different in feel. The one in the pen tip kit has a lot less tooth. Using that triangle tip in the kit will give you less spring action, but the trade off is a lot less grit/tooth when drawing. The slim pen doesn’t have any major spring action- another reason I liked it. You can also check out the Wacom bamboo ink dual protocol pen, or an Adonit ink pro- but neither of them have the same low latency that the stock pen or slim pen have.
I have a surface pro 4 and dont like its pen too thick and heavy. Feels unatural to write with. Im a samsung note enthusiast and love their pens. I rarely use my surface pen cuz i have and like many spens and alternatives from samsung and 3rd parties. Im debating getting a galaxy notebook over the newest surface pro and surface book cuz of spen and having a phone, tablet and laptop that can all use 1 pen. Its annoying in class if im taking notes by hand with spen and need to write something on the sp4. $150 pen isnt cheap or reasonable. Wacom beats emr all day...
I got Surface Pro 7 and Surface Slim Pen. The Pen works fine but it can't pair. I press the upper eraser button for many second but no lights appear at all. Could you tell me how to solve this issue?
It should pair with the Surface hub app or in your Bluetooth settings. Plug in the dock and put the pen in it and it should pair. Charge the pen for a while.
I mean it kind of does by the charging port but it doesn’t officially attach like the old ones did to the older surface pros. The Pro 8 stores the newest slim pen in its keyboard. This is the first gen one.
The Pencil has the better input technology for art- with much lower latency, and no jitter. But the Slim pen is my favorite for Surface. My Duo review will be up soon with the slim pen. For notes its great, for art with the Duo no softwares are fully setup for it so tilt doesn't work, just basic pen pressure works from the system level.
@@CladioJulianoArt slim pen 2 is actually the one I got. I'm just now realizing your review is of the previous gen. No charger included and the store didn't care to mention it. Very frustrating. Got home and now I can't even use the damn thing.
Hello? Can you please help me with my pen? I have a surface pro x and the keyboard is fine but the pen won't charge in the keyboard. It's paired with the keyboard via bluetooth but it still wont charge :(
Hello, I have a question. Even though you can stick the slim pen in the Pro 7 and it's not nearly as strong as the 4K pen but can you shake it off like it's nothing? is it strong enough to handle a few shake and bumps? I want to know its stability before actually consider buying the slim pen. Thank you.
Curios. Cat It won’t go flying off with a few small bumps, but it won’t stick on and stay on in a bag. At least I don’t think. But, it can also stick pretty strong onto the bezel of the screen, and can attach a bit to the outside of the keyboard like I showed in the video. The round pen just has an extremely strong hold.
Michael Ng I’m not sure if the pen hibernates to save battery- there’s no indication so far because when picked up its just ready to go. It might though. Hard to tell.
Can you charge this without that compartement thing? My surface pen for my surface pro 7 broke and they sent me the surface slim by accident but they didn't send me anything with it so I don't know how to use it
FICTIONAL REALITY ARTS LLC Compatible with Surface Book 2 for the 4K pressure but it is also compatible with the first gen book as well, but it won't register the 4K pressure levels on the first gen.
I’ve always wondered if it could stick to the side of the surface computers like the regular surface pen or is it only for that Surface pro x compartment?
Hard to say because it really comes down to personal preference. The round pen has a more recognizable feel for writing with the round barrel, but the slim pen has a harder more pencil like tip which I think hand writers would like.
@@haibui9783 As long as it is N-trig technology it is backwards compatible, and this pen is built with the latest implementation of it. You have to make sure it's N-trig though and not Wacom AES.
Wow I’m so new to this I don’t even know what those are lol sorry I’m barley getting into graphic design and I just got the Asus laptop. If you don’t mind could you explain those two types of pens?
@@mannysteel4388 They are just two different pen technologies that aren't compatible with each other. I would check their website to see what pen tech it is and what pens are compatible with the machine. Pretty sure its Wacom AES but I'm not positive.
Cladio Juliano awesome great advice man! Thank you so much for the info and sorry I didn’t say this before but loved the video review really in depth and clear. I just really hope my laptop is compatible because I really want this pen haha
I never make it work (tilt specially) with the surface pro 7. Bluetooth said paired after connected almost immediately. The pen without clip says connected at all times.
Bluetooth pairing is only for the top eraser button, the pen itself needs no connection to function. Tilt only works in software's properly setup for the pen. If its not working at all there might be something wrong w/the pen.
@@CladioJulianoArt Thank you so much for the time to answer. You clarified in such a simple way what the people at Microsoft never knew how to answer. Basically the pen works like the RAPHAEL 520 related with drawing. Although Raphael needs to be turned on. Wondering if the Slim Pen is "always turned on". Thanks Again My Friend..!!

Does the pen stick by magnet on the side of surface go?
i went to the store and tried. It works
Only sort of. It isn't quite long enough to stretch between the two mounting magnets, so it can swing loose from one of them.
I hate the shape. Drawing with this for long hours is a pain! You can't figure out how to exactly hold it. Can anyone suggest an alternative of this?
It's def not a design that works for everyone. It works well for me because I float my hand when I work and switch from regular hold to the traditional style hold.

How long you can use the slim pen without charging?

Can the slim pen tuck into a surface pro case that has a pen case designed for the normal surface pen?
A Lin I would say probably not because it’s such a different design but it’s hard to say because the regular surface pen is larger all around so it may work.
Will there be an offset between the mark and the pen's contact point?
I don’t like that it has a jumpy dot on the screen. Apple’s doesn’t have a dot on the screen so there’s no annoying jumpy dot.
With the modern input it doesn't jump, and the cursor can be turned totally off.

@@omid552 I might be wrong but I could of sworn when I pulled it out it wasn't the same. Maybe it is. I'm not 100% positive.

What is better for writing the slim or the old pen?
Hard to say because it really comes down to personal preference. The round pen has a more recognizable feel for writing with the round barrel, but the slim pen has a harder more pencil like tip which I think hand writers would like.
@@CladioJulianoArt Thank you!
Do u know whether I can use this pen for my HP x360 13 inch (2019) or not?
I believe x360 is N-Trig so yes, but I'm not 100% positive. I would double check with HP.
@@CladioJulianoArt im kind of worried because of the version of MPP. I think my laptop MPP version is 1, what about the surface pen?
@@CladioJulianoArt also I am considering the surface pen from 2017. Can I use it on my laptop?
@@haibui9783 As long as it is N-trig technology it is backwards compatible, and this pen is built with the latest implementation of it. You have to make sure it's N-trig though and not Wacom AES.
@@CladioJulianoArt it is ntrig but i think it is ntrig 1. So im not sure it is campatible with this pen or not. Please help!
Does this pen work with Asus zen book laptop?
This is n-trig only pen. I think that uses Wacom AES.
Wow I’m so new to this I don’t even know what those are lol sorry I’m barley getting into graphic design and I just got the Asus laptop. If you don’t mind could you explain those two types of pens?
@@mannysteel4388 They are just two different pen technologies that aren't compatible with each other. I would check their website to see what pen tech it is and what pens are compatible with the machine. Pretty sure its Wacom AES but I'm not positive.
Cladio Juliano awesome great advice man! Thank you so much for the info and sorry I didn’t say this before but loved the video review really in depth and clear. I just really hope my laptop is compatible because I really want this pen haha
the surface pen is much better
Aimbot DotCS It is a Surface Pen
@@CladioJulianoArt Nope, this video about Surface Slim Pen, so he said Surface Pen better ... i think there is a "slim" difference :) ha ha
@@arturbibiklol
I never make it work (tilt specially) with the surface pro 7. Bluetooth said paired after connected almost immediately. The pen without clip says connected at all times.
Bluetooth pairing is only for the top eraser button, the pen itself needs no connection to function. Tilt only works in software's properly setup for the pen. If its not working at all there might be something wrong w/the pen.
@@CladioJulianoArt Thank you so much for the time to answer. You clarified in such a simple way what the people at Microsoft never knew how to answer. Basically the pen works like the RAPHAEL 520 related with drawing. Although Raphael needs to be turned on. Wondering if the Slim Pen is "always turned on". Thanks Again My Friend..!!
@@denniskaparunakis3155 Yes it is always turned on my friend!
Could you please give a link for buying it from amazon
Nice video, do you happen to know if the pen works on Lenovo X1 Carbon devices?
Hi, I don't beleive so. I'm pretty sure Lenovo machines use Wacom AES pen technology, surface pens are N-Trig pen technology.
Is this pen compatible with the surface laptop 3?
Yep

Hi, I am deciding on which type of pen to get and i have some concerns:
1. Which eraser works better?
2. The slim pen has a rigid tip, right?
thank you!
The erasers are exactly the same feel on sceen. And yes the slim pen has a harder style tip, but it has a nice tooth. It's less of a rubber feel.
Is it compatible with sp 4?
Yea, but you won't have access to the 4K pressure levels with the pro 4.
Thanks
