Surface pen

Does anybody have any idea of which pen is compatible with Surface Pro 4? I wasted money on 4 pens almost 300$ worth total for none of them to work ....

    What types of pens are your buying? I've never had a problem with any of the Microsoft Surface Pens and have used them over the years with my Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, Surface Go, and now my current systems a Surface Pro (2017 aka 5), and a Surface Studio 2.

     

    This is the model I have been using:

    You can get it a little cheaper at Amazon:

    And according to the fine print on the page the newest Surface Slim Pen only works with the Surface Pro 5 or later
