Raphael 520BT

I upgraded from a Surface Pro 4 > Pro 7 and was intending to use my old Microsoft Surface Pen. The problem was that the Pro 4 pen was not 4096 pressure sensitive or tilt enabled so I had a choice to make – a new expensive Microsoft Surface Pen or the Raphael 520BT. As soon as I opened the box I knew I had made the right decision, the quality feel is so much better than the Microsoft offering. The rechargeable option is great to have and an erase button I feel is better than spinning the Microsoft Pen round (I am not at school any more with graphite pencils and rubbers). The 520BT just feels more substantial and better made than the Microsoft Pen, it’s more ergonomic, works perfectly with the Surface Pro 7, is magnetic and has the BT button – win win win

Extremely recommend. The packaging is even better than Microsoft. The quality and feeling use much better than Microsoft. I like the charging mechanism that I don't need to plan the cable to the Pen and it's magnetic. It also comes with a pack of three nibs which gives me a confidence for any damages.

As with all pens, the two buttons on the barrel are fiddly to use, but overall the pen has a nice weight and feel and is pleasant to use. Response is excellent and very much like a 'normal' pen.Worked really well but unfortunately the button fell out of the end after just a few uses. I'd had the pen 6 months but only used it a handful of times for jotting notes on the train. When I reported it to the seller, they sent a replacement pen immediately under warranty, so only a minor issue.On balance, I'd recommend this pen from this seller.

Great piece of kit. Poss a little thin, when trying to use buttons.Do miss the eraser on the top (previously had MS pen).

Just received this pen to be used on a newly purchased HP Pavilion x360 14-dw1010na for which it was notoriously difficult to source an active pen. HP in the UK said there is none in their own range - HP in the US assured me that the HP PEN would work - but without bluetooth. Now I have it and It works like a treat, it is light and easy to connect and load and has all features of active control (intensity, usable as mouse etc). Highly recommended, much better than the HP PEN for this model. It is important to notice that both the USB-C cable and instructions are hidden 'underneath' the black plastic compartment that holds the pen. I was first surprised not to find it easily.

I upgraded from a standard surface pen. Mine was The earlier one that doesn't have the 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, so I was looking for some improvement. I also needed some new tips and this pen is nearly the same cost as a pack of 3 tips from Microsoft.This pen is certainly lighter, but that makes it nicer to use. The charging is via a small cap with a USB-C connector, this is a really nice way to do it. I can't comment how long it lasts yet, but it is certainly easy to charge and good to not have to replace a battery. The box also contains 3 spare pen nibs, which is a nice touch.Because of the charging, you have to remember to switch the pen on before you use it, somewhat annoying but not too bad. I do like the eraser on a button by your thumb, I never found that flipping the pen over for the eraser was that convenient. I tweaked the pen sensitivity up a little in the app to get a clean line, again, not an issue, just something to note.Overall, very please, even more because of the price.

Nicer to hold in the hand than the Microsoft open. Don't really miss the eraser on the back and prefer using a button to erase. Broke my Microsoft one while changing the battery, so it helps that's this one is rechargeable. Can highly recommend it.

I lost my 'official MS' pen for the Surface Go and decided to go for the Renaisser 520BT, even though at the time of purchase I could get another MS pen for only £10 more.I am happy to say I have no regrets, it came in a nice box, with charging cables and replacement nibs (something you don't get with the MS product).As for function, it works great, absolutely no difference that I can tell from the MS product and there are a couple of things that you might consider an upgrade. It is rechargeable, you don't have to turn upside down to use the eraser and you can advance powerpoint slides with it.It connects to the side of the Surface Go strongly and I can highly recommend this pen.

No he probado el original pero este me ha funcionado de maravilla en una Surface 7 Pro, por el costo y el funcionamiento este vale la pena. Hace más de un mes que lo compré y no he requerido cargarlo de nuevo, que para mi es un plus muy importante ya qué el Surface Pen de carga con pilas

I bought this after my third Surface Pen (SP2) broke on me. (The stupid plastic cone of the SP2 broke after I dropped it once.) However the 520BT has a sturdy, full aluminum body, feels really sleek in your hand, and is a pleasure to draw with! It boasts tilt sensitivity and a bluetooth button, but I haven't really used those features. It's also the only other stylus I found that works with the Surface Pro magnetic mounts! This is a great stylus, and is slightly cheaper than the SP2.Compared to the SP2, the 520BT:[+] Single piece of aluminum (vs. aluminum and a flimsy plastic cone for the tip)[+] Is rechargeable, but don't lose the charging cap! (Though replacements are available)[+] The 1-year warranty can currently be upgraded to 2-years for free![?] Is noticeably thinner, though still has a nice heft.[-] You have to click to wake the pen up (vs. the SP2 which is immediately responsive)[-] Doesn't hit the maximum pressure levels...?Waking the pen up is only slightly annoying, but that last bit is interesting. It seems that the pressure caps out before hitting the highest pressure levels? For drawing, this means that a 10pt brush will only go up to, say, 9pts. In practice, you can usually just use an 11pt brush to draw your 10pt lines, but some might consider this a deal-breaker. Personally, I find that the 520BT responds to pressure changes more smoothly than SP2, so my lines actually look cleaner.I'm using a Surface Pro 7 with Clip Studio Paint, and it works well.

den är bra och funkar perfekt som det ska.

El sistema de carga es un dispositivo más a llevar de viaje con el consiguiente riesgo de perdida u olvido

It's better than surface pen..much better accuracy
