Surface Pen
Surface Pro comes with a digital pen that you can use to mark up documents and take hand-written notes. Palm
block technology lets you write comfortably, without worrying about your hand touching the screen while you
write. Or you can get creative and draw something in Fresh Paint—a drawing app available in the Windows
Store.
Tips
To find out how use a pen to draw, write, or highlight text (called inking in Office apps), see Use a pen

You can buy an additional or replacement pen for your Surface Pro from the Microsoft Store.
