You know for a short made 9 months ago and being subscribed to this channel for 4 years. This is the first time I have seen this. Right on Juan. You are the "Only Juan"😅

How do you charge the slim pen 2? Does it come with charging cable?

[rainbowkittycat]

A) For everyone asking, you either have to buy a charging cable, or use a newer device that allows the slim pen 2 to dock
B) It doesn’t work…. I mean it does but not nearly as well. The slim pen 2 will have the exact same performance of the other cheeper pens, because the screen and connectivity matters to new pens as much as the pen itself. So, I will name names, that’s why apple doesn’t do it. For better or for worse, apple is all about curating the perfect experience. If someone buys the new pen, thinking it will work like apple advertises, and then it doesn’t, instead of blaming themselves for not researching properly, they’ll blame apple. So to prevent that, this is what they do. (and for everybody who says, oh that wouldn’t happen, read the rest of this comment section, it looks like it already has).

I just might order this new pen to try on my old Surface 2017.

[karrguzora]

If it doesn't connect immediately, should I wait for it to charge longer?

[FloatingStar]

Ugh. I hate my duo. It’s slow and glitchy. Ever since I got it. Any advice? I really want to like it. But it’s so olllld now.

I believe the protocol didn't change, MPP (N-trig) remains backward compatible for a long time and I don't see this changing. Same as Wacom side, their pen always work with new and old devices, with exception of Fold 3 (but still same protocol, just different frequency to prevent usage of other pen with the fragile screen).

Only Apple did this I think, though that probably had to do with how stupid they designed the 1st gen Apple Pencil and that the 2nd gen have no way to charge unless you owned iPad that could.

HOW CHARGE? I got it, it didn’t come with a charger… i need it to charge man

[mistamaog]

Damn Microsoft taking backwards compatibility seriously not just on games but on their Surface lineup!

[jasonwiltjer]

Am I right to assume that the haptic features don't work?

[carlocahyadi]

Does the slim pen 2 work with older surface pro devices? I have surface pro 5

[betajdl]

It's supposed to. Not really a surprise. If they can only work out the android two screen bugs on the surface, I'll get one again. Loved it and sold it

[emurray]

Can you use the slim pen 1 charger to charge this new pen?

[maliknexus]

What about the magnet does it still work?

[onlyfun]

This can't be charged without buying charger bay?

[davidburns]

Yeah but this stylus didn't cure my typhoid so it's not worth it.
