Microsoft has even officially acknowledged the issue and launched a series of posts and YouTube videos explaining how to fix it. This problem has been there with Surface Pens for quite some time. What causes the Surface Pen Driver error? It either is totally unresponsive or some of its buttons are not working.

However, recently there have been many scenarios where users are unable to operate their Surface Pen. It allows users to have a truly customizable feel when using their Surface Pro. You can even launch OneNote by clicking its top button and use it as a mouse. It also comes with a stylus pen (Surface Pen) which works just like any other stylus and allows you to control your computer with the touch of a pen. The new design makes it harder to push the button.Surface Pro is one of Microsoft’s flagship computers which have the functionality of both a traditional laptop and a tablet which runs Windows operating system. I don't like the new button design though. And really, it makes a big difference when it comes to color painting. You can see the stroke from Slim Pen has a more abrupt transition from the min pressure to the max, while Slim Pen 2 has a more smooth and subtle transition. And the pressure sensitivity is so much better! Here is two random brush stroke I just did. When I was doing color I had to switch to my Wacom to get the perfect outcome.Īnd I lost my slim pen days ago and bought a slim pen 2 as a replacement. It was OK when making a black and white image, but when making an image that required a more subtle color transition, well, it would not be so good. It claims to have 4096 pressure points, but the transition between different pressure levels is not smooth enough, and it feels nothing close to a 4096 Wacom pen and tablet. But I was still not very satisfied with its pressure sensitivity. I even preferred it to an apple pencil when I was doing line art.

And its performance on line drawing is very good. So, I turned to a surface slim pen later, which was much better than the surface pen. The pen tip was wobbly, and it was heavy. I was a heavy user of Wacom Intuos before, and the surface pen just could not match the level of a Wacom pen. I am an illustrator and comic artist, and I mainly use my surface pro 7 and my surface pen on Clip Studio Paint when making my artwork. I just got my slim pen 2 and decided to write a review on it.
