Review Text: Pen could still improve for Artists, overall good. To compare the Surface pen that I had purchased three years ago which is styled more like a Wacom stylist (the pen in the left of the photo), the Surface Slim Pen 2 (the pen in the right of the photo) glides better on the devices surface making it smoother to utilize in graphic design. The pen is very responsive and the curser syncs closely to the pen as you glide it across the screen. The only complaint that I have is that the pen lacks the scale of pressure sensitivity and tilt that a Wacom pen has. I like that the Surface Slim Pen 2 has a built-in battery and will charge when docked in the keyboard charging tray when connected to the Surface Pro 8. I'm a fan of the slim style for it portability, but I'm still getting use to holding a flatter pen. The keyboard feels a bit sturdier than the model I purchased 3 years ago. Keys are still back lit and I'm glad that the back light function button has been moved to right next to the Esc button instead of in the middle of the function keys. This will make it so much easier to not have to guess which key that it is in the dark. There is an added bonus that the keyboard now magnetically latches to the Surface Pro when closed together and the track pad is a little bigger. It also acts like a case/screen protector to the Surface Pro.
