That is exactly the problem I have . <| sep |> Maybe change your EQ on your deviceuse different headphones . If it is the tingy noises that are bugging you , turn them down . <| sep |> Honestly , just buy the Microsoft pen . If you purchased the Best Buy SP 4 deal they offer $ 20 off the pen when bundled . You could probably show them your receipt and still get the deal , they ' re pretty reasonable . The MS pen has built in microphone for Cortana integration , it has one of the best tips in the inking world for feel on screen , it has a flat face with magnets that make it stick to the side of the SP 4 specifically as if it docks there so you can grab it when needed . The eraser has a Bluetooth click button that allows you to launch ANY program on your computer , which also lets you launch OneNote under the lock screen to take quick notes without unlocking your computer . Basically , it is worth every bit of $ 50 and 3 rd party pens won ' t give you even half of that functionality or quality . It was made for SP 4 so they are a perfect pair .
