Microsoft Surface Devices: New Stylus Options From Budget to Premium

Microsoft's Surface devices have long been compatible with a range of styluses, with new options like the Metapen M3 Pro and HP Rechargeable MPP 2.0 Tilt Pen joining the fray. Meanwhile, budget-friendly choices such as Wacom's Bamboo Ink and the Metapen M2 empower users seeking affordability.

The Metapen M3 Pro introduces 'Strain Gauge' technology and a soft pen tip for a natural inking experience. For older Surface devices, third-party options include the Logitech Crayon or similar capacitive touch screen styluses. Microsoft's Surface Pen remains a versatile choice for many older models.

The HP Rechargeable MPP 2.0 Tilt Pen offers comfort, customization, 4,096 pressure levels, and tilt support. Wacom's Bamboo Ink is a budget-friendly alternative with up to 4,096 pressure levels and MPP/AES compatibility.

The Surface Slim Pen 2 sets a new standard with 4,096 points of pressure sensitivity, haptic feedback, and a more compact design. The Metapen M2, a cheaper alternative, offers tilt support, USB-C charging, and 4,096 pressure levels with MPP 2.0 support. The original Surface Pen, though older, still provides 4,096 pressure points, Bluetooth connectivity, and tilt functionality.

With the Metapen M3 Pro and HP Rechargeable MPP 2.0 Tilt Pen, users gain advanced features for their Surface devices. Budget-conscious users can opt for the Wacom Bamboo Ink or Metapen M2. The Surface Slim Pen 2 raises the bar for modern Surface PCs, while the original Surface Pen remains a reliable choice for older devices.
