- Reading: N-Trig pen for surface pro 3?
Could anyone tell me if this pen would work on my Surface Pro 3?

I know surface has swapped to N-Trig rather than wacom, and the description says it will work but for $7 I'm sort of skeptical.
If not anyone recommend a cheap stylus? The standard Microsoft one is $30...
It will but it will suck. Get a real Windows one for palm support

I have arch on it though...
Any of the windows features I don't care about. I just want to draw with it.
It is a regular capacitive stylus. It will work on pretty much any touch screen, the same as your finger.

How hard was it to install arch on that thing? I would think it would be locked up as fuck.
That's not even a real stylus
It'll work on anything

Eh, it is an "EFI-ONLY", not "BIOS or UEFI".
That's a pain to deal with, but its the same as putting *nix on macbooks. Not hard, just frustrating if you don't know the difference between 'only' and 'bios or uefi'.

He means that it is a capacitance stylus. It will emulate finger touch, not pen touch. You can buy the same thing for $.50 on any chinese website. It will work on any touchscreen. Starting with the SP3, MS started tweaking the pen input hardware so I don't know if any N-Trig stylus will work other than the surface pen. Good luck on your search though.
Pro tip: If it doesn't take a battery, it won't work like you think it will (or at all) with your tablet.
