Hi John!
Thank you for this video.
I have a Surface Pro 7 and I'm looking for the latest Surface Pen model.
Is this model, released in June 2017, the latest or is there a newer model?
Which is the model and the part number of the platinum color?
Thank you for the video. I'm wondering how much of a noticeable difference you found with the new pen? Just doing calculus work I notice the latency on my Surface Book pen. I'm a gamer so lag is my arch nemesis. Think it's worth purchasing the new pen?
This pen has way less latency than the previous. I have tested on many apps and have to say pretty much 0 latency from my point of view. I'm no gamer but I also find latency an issue, especially with illustration work and cutouts etc.
Touch Technology Review Yeah, you would definitely notice it since drawing is cringeworthy to me. Just doodling angers me to be honest. I will check it out. Thanks for the response.
Are you able to change what the side buttons do?
Would be nice if you could have demo on web sites and word docs with the pen. Thanks though for the review. Do you think the pen would still be beneficial for non artists? I just want to use it for day to day use and I'm not an artist by any mean.
trinhk yeah was going to demo that but forgot to add it in. Yeah it’s great for every day use too. 👍
hey man. the delay while you were sketching lines in illustrator is quite noticeable. wouldn't you agree?
+Ethan Hunt Yes definitely it’s not as smooth compared to other apps such as Sketchable etc which are 100% real-time
It could also be that Illustrator uses more resources than other applications. That may be the issue with the noticeable lag
@@Touchtechnologyreview was the cpu on performance mode
you never explained the other button, and THAT is the reason I saw this video!
The magnet is actually just the battery, the actual magnet is inside the surface. :)
Oh really, thanks for picking that up and pointing that out🙂Magnet must be stronger on the newer surface 👍
Why oh why will they not add a second button for middle mouse. There are tons of 3D artist like myself who use this for Zbrush or 3D Coat for which he Bamboo Ink is pretty damn good but the nib is just no where near as nice as the Surface (which feels far less like drawing with a ballpoint pen on glass and more like a marker on paper).
Do you think the tilt effect would come out as it is shown on your new surface pro, i mean if i use it on my SP4
I believe it does. You should get all the benefits of it, like the increased amount of pressure sensitivity levels and tilt feature. You may have to update your windows software and or firmware to ensure full compatibility.
i have a question does the pro 6's pen works on the pro 4?
i think it should work
is it good for navigating
Bro which on is good in every corner - Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 or Ipad Pro 2017?
In your view
I want to buy one of them for mine
Thanks
Badrudduja if you are looking for a laptop, go with surface, if you only need tablet functions go with iPad Pro
Question for the Microsoft pen does it just work on the Microsoft Surface what if you’re running Windows 10 on a regular computer monitor will it work??
Most likely not, it is designed to work with the surface. However I have heard that it uses a Wacom digitizer so may work with other devices using Wacom technology. However there certainly is no official support for it on other devices.
Is this the V4 pen? If yes, does it work on the Surface Book screen? Thank you.
It's the new one and the current model, released in 2017. I believe that it will work with the surface book however I have heard that you don't get the full 4,096 pressure sensitivity which was one of the enhancements of the new pen.
tilt functionality support in photoshop as well?
Yes it Photoshop does support the tilt effect when using the brush tool. As you tilt down the brush stroke automatically becomes thicker, tilt up and it becomes thinner.
Can the pen be use to trace object in Photoshop? Something like a line art drawing?
Yes it can be used for that purpose. Works in Photoshop 👍
work it on surface pro 2?
Can it work on my touch screen laptops tablets etc? Or just Microsoft surface laptops?
It will only work on certain touch screens compatible with active pen technology, so most generations of the surface and some other laptops but mostly likely not on your tablet or phone screen.
It always recognises my hand + pen input. i want only pen input. How does it work ???
I have the same question.
in the Galaxy Note once the screen detects the pointer it just focuses on it.
How do u charge it that laptop on the desk
The pen is not rechargeable, it uses a AAAA battery that last for over 1 year usually. Cost $5 to $8 to replace.
Ummmm what if you are not a photographer or illustrator? How does this pen work for those folks??
Hey, can someone please answer this - I saw and used one of these at a shop, and I saw that the end was like a fabric? Anyways, I saw that it was pickable, I picked at it a bit gently and it got a bit deformed. Just wondering, will after long time use will the tip get deformed/change? Thanks.
The tips can be replaced if they get damaged. I think it costs around $30 for a pack of three with different tip widths. I haven't had to change mine after a year of using it.
@@Touchtechnologyreview Oh ok, thank you so much.
Can you lean your hand on it?
Yes you can, it has built in palm rejection.
Is it compatible with the app Procreate on the Surface Go 2?
I am not sure about that, I am pretty sure it works with the surface Go 2 but as for Procreate perhaps check with the software developer first.
Es compatible con surface pro4?
Yes it is.
Does dell latitude 7350 support microsoft surface pen?
I can't be certain of that. The Surface Pen uses active technology that connects via bluetooth so it may not work with other tablets or computers. Microsoft only state that it is compatible with their own Surface line of products. So if you want to check I would suggest you bring your laptop into a store and give it a test.....
I want to know, does it use a wacom technology or Microsoft pen protocol (mpp) ?!
Can the tip be changed?
Yes it can
How long is the battery life
Anywhere up to a year depending on how much you use it
up to 12 months based on what i saw on amazon.
"no delay"
Does this work on samdung ipad??
Bruhh !! where did u get that kush from? lmao
Does this pen work on surface go 2
Yeah
does new pen tilt and pressure work same on older suface pro 4 ?
According to Microsoft specs, the new Surface Pen works with Surface 3, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, Surface Book, Surface Studio and Surface Laptop. The new Surface Pro was the first Surface to enable 4096 levels of Pressure Sensitivity and Pen Tilt as this was built into the screen itself I think the new pen was designed to work in conjunction with the new screen, so although the pen will work it may not take advantage of the tilt and pressure in the same way. You may need to check with Microsoft support if you want 100% clarification though. Anyone else viewing this thread please feel free to contribute your experience with older surface models.......
Touch Technology Review thx...i will try it out and share my experience soon
@@solvvbiswas9852 how did it go??
@@lilylemoncake2091 sry i didnt buy it
I have it
I have on question is there any alternative stylus pens for my surface book 2
You can get the original surface pen which is quite a bit cheaper and there are also many 3rd party options. Check this article out for other suggestions:. www.windowscentral.com/best-surface-pen-alternatives . I haven't tried any of them so can't comment on their effectiveness with the surface touch screen.
U can buy the new pen 🖋 from. Ebay and used pen.... I got my surface 2017 pen brand new sealed for £55, RRP is £99 and amazon sell it for £75. Alternatuve pens cost about £40, no point in getting that if u can get the surface 2017 pen for under £60.
The reviewer does not touch the screen while writing. Unfortunately, there is a SERIOUS BUG affecting all Surface pros with Surface Pen when the hand is resting on the screen. The ink starts to jump erratically every now and then, making it impossible to write or draw properly. This issue has been reported by more than 2000 people (just search for "intermittent pen inaccuracy"). Do not buy the Surface Pen with the Surface Pro, unless you plan to use it with an artist's glove or are able to write without touching the screen.
This has been fixed with driver updates in recent weeks.
Where is the photo of the girl from?
These were photos taken in Melbourne during a fashion shoot some years ago.
@@Touchtechnologyreview Can they be seen somewhere?
On Instagram @cmb_apparel . Scroll down a bit to see the series of photos from that shoot
aikido?
aikido ? that's a martial art.
It's not a triple A battery.
It's 4AAA /E96 not triple AAA. 👍
I've heard a lot of problems about palm rejection (i.e. pen input mixed with palm touch input). Can anyone confirm?
I have heard about this problem but found that palm rejection worked really well. No issue for me.
I thought that's a toilet on the right bottom corner lol
LOL, that is funny.A bit of trivia for you. It's actually a Prince Aha stool designed by Philippe Starck which apparently was created to resemble the shape of an hour glass.....
Nothing about notes..
yeah you can literally see the latency in the video but yeah not latency.... why freakin lie
Tere ko idea kisne Diya naam Bata
Its just battery
Try to put your hand on the screen when you draw lines with new surface pen, I think you will find out how bad this pen is
Thanks for checking out the video and commenting. I must say I didn't have that problem. I tested resting my hand on the screen and writing a the same time. I am using the surface pro i5.
hmmm, well, a lot of ppl have the accuracy issue when drawing by laying your hand on the screen. Hope its not the problem of hardware and hope Microsoft can solve it asap
It's much easier to draw with the pen if you turn off the touchscreen. My only gripe is that you have to go into the control panel and deactivate the drivers when there should just be a button for it in the bottom right, like turning off rotation or location, etc...
Touch Technology Review you need to rest your palm on the screen while touching the metal to see the issue.
No issue here
The surface pen ( pro 4) is the worst I know, I have used a Samsung android tablet with s pen (2016) for years and the resulting writing is exactly my handwriting, but today I received my surface pro 4 and the writing is disgusting, it loses all its expressiveness, softening the letter until it is ILLIGABLE. The writing is incomprehensible, whoever uses it, most likely, will be very disappointed. There is no way to solve that, I have seen several videos and in all the ones that show "writing", it is exactly the same. The surface pen provides everyone who uses it with the same stylized handwriting that can barely be understood. I bought the surface so I can use Word and my dictation program, but I've lost taking notes. A shame.
there is something called paper and pencil more cheaper
yeah!! but we are living on 2017 and 2018 is in its way.
there simply things that you can't achieve by pen and paper. Like, how would you add a video/audio recording to your notes?
On top of that, digital note taking/drawing is simply a lot more convenient, easier to organize, faster to search. and you can easily change the background to black and write with white texts, which is really hard to find for pen and paper or having different backgrounds for different sections.
It's not just more convenient, it's better.
paper and pen is so last decade!
My pen helps me save paper by not having to print out hundreds of pages of notes. I can conveniently take notes and save them on my comp!
