Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone has found a compatible palm rejecting stylus that is compatible with the Surface RT? I have bought the Surface 3 pen but I can't get it to work. It registers the pen by Bluetooth and the button to open OneNote works but the pen doesn't work. Are there any drivers that I could download? I was told when I  my tablet the  surface pens work on the tablet but I didn't need the pen then. But now it appears that the pens don't work...

I know that any capacitive pen works as I have used one but I want to be able to use the tablet to replace using notebooks at university. So has anyone found a way to get it to work?

    It will NEVER work because the surface RT does not have a digitizer for the pen.

    all you can use are the styluses that pretend to be fingers, aka capacitive ones.

    What do you mean by capactive stylus pen? I also have been looking for a stylus that resembles the touch part of the surface pen (that is, one that looks like a pencil tip) so that I also can write directly onto the tablet to replace paper...(why write it with pen and paper only to have to get it onto the computer a bit later on, right?) yet I CANNOT find such a pen that actually WORKS TO WRITE WITH. Seriously, I do a better job writing in freehand with my own fingertips!!!! I really am too frugal as a uni student to break down and buy the eighty and some dollar one that Microsoft sells for the Surface. There has to be another alternative!?!?!?
