Painting in GIMP, the pen also occasionally stalled and refused to recognise commands for up to 20 seconds. Luckily, the pen returned to normal after I removed the Surface Pen’s battery and manually reset it. On one occasion the stylus inexplicably started to randomly register commands when the pen wasn’t touching the screen. Using the Surface Pen for digital painting in GIMP, Krita and Anime Studio, the stylus felt a little less responsive than I’d have liked. However, I did notice a few flies in the ointment.

The 2H tip also offers slightly more resistance than the Pro 3’s pen, making it feel more like an actual pencil. Doodling a couple of comic pages, the pen felt more reactive and significantly less laggy. I definitely noticed a difference using the Pro 4’s pen for digital painting. A single press will launch OneNote, a double tap will take a screen grab and a long press will activate Microsoft’s digital assistant Cortana. The top button is used to activate various shortcuts on the Pro 4. Instead, the Pro 4 has a single, long select key that runs along the stylus’ side with function control on its top.
The tech instructs the touch Surface to ignore everything but the pen’s inputs when the stylus is near the screen – meaning you can rest your palm on the screen when sketching or taking notes as you would on a normal piece of paper.Īs a final perk Microsoft has ditched the Surface Pro 3 pen’s three-button format. The pen also features robust palm-detection technology. Options include the bundled all-round HB tip, sketching focused B tip, the H tip for technical drawing, and the 2H tip for scrawling speed. For starters, the firm has improved its pressure-sensitivity levels – the Pro 4 Surface Pen can recognise a staggering 1,024 pressure levels.Īrtists can even swap out the pen’s nibs. Microsoft claims it has solved the latency issues on the Pro 4’s Surface Pen and added a number of nifty features to improve its usability as a design tool. While the N-Trig tech is up to task for basic notation in OneNote, latency issues made doodling and design work a painful process on the Pro 3. This initially left me a little concerned. Like the Pro 3, it’s based on N-Trig, as opposed to the more common Wacom stylus technology.
The Pro 4’s Surface Pen is bundled free with the tablet.
