The side buttons provide eraser and right-click functions, giving you convenient controls for editing, selecting, and writing.

Tilt response can vary with the app and brush you use, which is useful to consider when choosing drawing software.

Everyday use

For class notes, meeting annotations, or a quick sketch, the pressure-sensitive tip supports varied line control without switching tools. Palm rejection helps make writing feel more natural, and the upper and lower side buttons are assigned to right-click and eraser functions. The aluminum body has flat sides for a steady grip and to help it stay put on a desk. Two replacement tips are included for when you want to change the writing point.

The rechargeable battery takes 40 minutes to charge, and the manufacturer states up to 80 hours of use per charge. The pen enters sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. Buyers praise its battery life, while feedback on device compatibility and button operation is mixed, reports on the magnetic attachment, grip, and durability also vary.

Practical questions

How do the side buttons work? The upper button provides a right-click function, and the lower button works as an eraser. Long-press actions are also described for color picking and erasing.

Can I use tilt for shading? Yes. Tilt changes line thickness for outlining and shading, with the response depending on the app and brush.

What comes in the box? The package includes the F97 stylus with a tip, a USB-C charging cable, two replacement tips, and a user manual.

When it makes sense

The F97 suits Surface users who want one pen for handwritten notes and drawing, with palm rejection, pressure sensitivity, tilt, and built-in eraser and right-click controls. Its USB-C charging and replacement tips make it a practical fit for regular use across compatible Surface devices.
