The display located at the back part of the 2-in-1 is made from metal, which then shows a reflected version of the screen at the front. There’s one rumor that holds a claim of a patent that was filed back in May 2017, where a reflective screen can be seen at the back, half-size smaller than the main screen. Also, listening to the progress of the whole stylus and not just addressing the location of the tip that touches the screen.

In addition to the Surface Pen’s new feature, it’s also getting an overall enhancement when it comes to writing and scribbling accuracy thanks to a patent that uses an “active stylus motion vector.” According to Windows Latest, improved accuracy is achieved with the utilization of motion vectors where the prediction of the location of the stylus is projected, Microseconds different based on how the movements are made. There’s also info that the conduction level of the clip changes from top to bottom, giving the attached sensor the impression of a changing current based on finger movement. The location of the said clip is right below the eraser, giving the impression that it’s a clip that’s intended to act as a pen holder. With the said clip-like figure to respond to touch, the user is given the ability to go page up or down, zoom in or zoom out, as the finger slides its way on the clip’s surface.

The Surface Pen is also not left behind as a patent awarded to Microsoft on February 15, 2019, shows a U-shaped clip that’s intended to act as a scroll wheel for a mouse. However, you will feel the kickstand hinge’s pressure when moved up or down as the force needed would be heavier or lighter, depending on how the kickstand is shifted. As found in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, a patent published back in February shows a friction hinge with clutch-based resistance – a small detail that’s not even visible with the naked eye. Though the current setup is already acceptable to many, with the kickstand working as a cover and a stand, Microsoft aims to make the feature more person-worthy, focusing on feel, resistance, and pressure. With most of the improvements focused on providing bigger, thinner, and faster, one of the unique developments already underway is a better kickstand experience.
