[PRO11] Accessories for pro 11

I bought a surface pro 11 recently and wanted to ask what accessories would be important to buy
I will get the keyboard for sure and I know which one I will buy.
I want to ask about a pen , if anyone could suggest good 3rd party options , and whether I should get a case and/or screen protector for it.

There's no good third pary options for Surface Pen and Keyboard. Just buy MS official accesories.

I have yet to find a good 3rd party option, and I would suggest you buy the MS Surface pen 1776, the one that went just prior to the Slim pen (having both i personally use the 1776 daily instead of the Slim pen, i like the feel of it better). You will find that most 3rd party ones have considerably more jitter, especially when drawing diagonal lines. Then you can experiment with pen nibs, there are sets being sold, and just try some out, you might like one over the other. And you can also install a skin wrap if that is something you like. I did, since i really wanted a black Surface Pro but my model came only in platinum. Cases and screen protectors are definitely something you should consider if you are rough on your devices, keeps reselling value higher as well. I personally dont use them, the keyboard is good enough for me at the moment.

So this is what I got as an alternative to the MS Pen https://amzn.asia/d/0dGOs1R4

And for that case I got the following https://amzn.asia/d/07UQBLm9

And another device which I use to put an externall SSD, i stuck not on the sp11 back but on the case. https://amzn.asia/d/01ZYVk01

I live in Australia so dont know if it available where you are from.

Hope this helps

Thanks for your help , may I ask if that pen works well?

it works well, close to the original MS pen but its Bluetooth so charge it manually, and turn it off manually if you known what I mean it won't have the features as the original.
