Microsoft could be working on a renewed Surface Pen to make it easier to write on our devices
Have you ever tried using a Surface Pen or a stylus in general? If you use it in tablet mode, it can be more or less comfortable depending on the tastes of each one. The problem comes when we have to use it on the screen of a PC or laptop.
Bringing your hand closer to the screen while keeping your arm raised is not something that is comfortable, especially when it comes to prolonged use and repeated over time. Writing or painting freehand is something not very interesting with which they want to end from Microsoft in accordance with this patent that they have presented.
A patent that directly affects one of the best-known accessories in the Surface range of tablets and convertibles, the Surface Pen. An add-on that could be renewed with new functions and features that would make it easier to use.
Of all, the main claim is that this new Surface Pen would radically change the way we work with it It would no longer be necessary to place it on the screen with how uncomfortable it can be, since a new system would allow us to write or draw by resting the tip on the wrist rest of the Surface keyboard on duty.
We avoid having the arm in the air while we draw so that we don't get so tired and we obtain a better precision of the cursor. For this, the Surface Pen would use a short-range wireless technology such as Bluetooth.It is the main improvement, at least in terms of use, but not the only one.
On the other hand, Microsoft is committed to including an optical sensor or a camera in the Surface Pen, in a way that allows users to access more functions such as controlling a cursor or a remote presentation. It is something that in a certain way we have seen in the S pen of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, with a control that allows certain actions at a distance and which is already rumored to include a camera in its next evolution.
Be that as it may and as we always say in these cases, for now it is only a patent, so we don't know if it will finally become reality or not .
