Review on ✍️ RENAISSER Stylus Pen for Surface: Bluetooth Remote Control, 4096 Pressure Sensitivity Levels, Made in Taiwan, Rechargeable - Raphael 520BT by Jacob Richardson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Raphael 520BT is better than the original Raphael 520 stylus

I have an M/S Surface Pro 7 and am a humble notepad, not an artist, but I do like to draw from time to time so this will be mostly be in terms of notes or simple drawings in OneNote and the whiteboard. I have a Renaisser Raphael 520 and now also a Renaisser Raphael 520BT. The Bluetooth feature of the Raphael 520BT makes it easy to connect to a computer for interactive work. It feels like the new BT has stronger magnets than the original Raphael 520 that mounts to the side of my Surface Pro 7. The bracket is stronger so I'm not worried about knocking it off. Charge the pen for 15 minutes and it can be used for 70 hours. BT has magnetic charging cap with USB-C. The pen comes in a nice box with a charging cable and 3 spare hard plastic nibs. The Raphael 520BT costs 30-40% of the price of the official M/S Surface Pro pen. With the Raphael 520BT you get a Bluetooth button that lets you open OneNote or Whiteboard and pan around PowerPoint slides using the stylus as a remote control, an improvement over the original Raphael 520.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Not the best
