Why you'd want to use the new Surface Slim Pen
The new Slim Pen is a redesign of the classic Surface stylus, featuring a flat side to help it fit into a cradle, and even includes wireless charging. If you own the new Surface Pro X, you can even place it in the cradle above the keyboard to keep it topped up on the go.
With the Surface Slim Pen, you'll turn your Surface device into a powerful creative tool, allowing you to sketch and interact with various parts of Windows. If you plan on doing a little notetaking or doodling, the Pen may be just what you need with your Surface tablet.
Slimmer than ever before
Microsoft's latest stylus is a fantastic piece of technology, sporting wireless charging, and a slim design, allowing you to connect it to supported Surface hardware physically.
