Surface Pro Pen Features
The Microsoft Surface Pro Pen, also known as the first-generation Surface Pen, utilizes Wacom technology that does not require batteries or charging. You can draw, sketch, take notes by hand, and mark up PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, and documents just like you would on paper.
It is available for free with the purchase of the original Surface Pro and Surface Pro 2. Microsoft also made it available to buy separately at a $29.99 retail price.

Every Surface Pro Pen has the following three buttons:
- Blue pen tip
- Charging shape right-click or select button.
- Eraser tail cap.

No, it doesn’t. Starting from 2014 with the releases of Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3, Microsoft has adopted a new N-trig technology, which later on was improved and renamed to Microsoft Pen Protocol.
