Microsoft Redesigning, Upgrading Apple Pencil Rival Surface Pen

Microsoft is about to have a Surface reveal event this October. The company is said to be overhauling its own Surface Pen and also be reveal it on the event. Potentially, Microsoft’s new Surface Pen can rival the improvements done on the Apple Pencil.

According to leaks about the Surface event, Microsoft is preparing to show the Surface Campus pen. This new Surface Pen would be ARM-powered which allows the device to be charged wirelessly. Additionally, the new Surface Pen would also not have any wires needed for its other features.

The new Surface Campus also ditches the circular pen shape for a whole new design. It won’t look like a regular pen but looks a little more like a highlighter marker with a pen tip. Creatives aiming to have a different style of stylus pen can rely on the new Surface Pen if it does appear like this.

The upcoming device is also said to have its own wireless charger where it could be docked. However, it’s still unknown if the dock itself would be able to wirelessly charge the device or still need to be plugged into an electric socket via a Type-C charger. The device could also be placed on the Surface Pro’s type cover to wirelessly charge it up. Overall, the new Surface Pen has many avenues to not run out of battery while using it.

The features found on the upcoming Surface Pen rivals the Apple Pencil. Apple’s own stylus pen can also be docked to an iPad and be wirelessly charged through docking. Microsoft can directly compete with its own stylus if it does get revealed in the upcoming event.
