Microsoft Patents New Surface Pen With Built-in LEDs

Recently a new patent for the Surface Pen was published which points at the stylus getting some cool new features. The patent which was filed back in February 2017 shows the pen with built-in LEDs. The LEDs can be positioned at the upper part of the pen, near the tip, or in the middle. For the one positioned near the tip, it can be configured to light up in a color that currently matches the one in use. This is helpful for creatives as they don’t have to confirm the color in use by looking at the color palette.
