I started a new thread because the other one I posted a few hours ago is mainly about screen protector.
I will be receiving a delivery of MS Surface RT w/ touch cover, 32 GB.
I understand, from my previous thread, that active stylus pen is not supported by RT.
I came across this article and apparently it will work on Surface RT.
Using a Jot Pro Stylus with Windows RT on a Surface Tablet ? Windows RT Review
I wonder if anyone will give me a pro and con about the product.
I have read a few "reviews" of the product, but I trust users' personal experience more than websites reviews.
Thank you.

Editing : My apology. It should be Jot Pro not Jet Pro. Typo.

That question has an interesting answer....

Here's my experiences with both a Surface RT and Surface 2 (both running Windows RT)

With Windows RT 8.0, the Jot Pro performed significantly better than the cheapo rubber or foam tip stylus. But on Windows RT 8.1, the Jot Pro performed WORSE than the rubber/foam stylus.

I think that the Jot Pro is the best of the non-active stylus available. I use it on my iPad and Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 as well as my Insignia Flex WinTab. On iOS and Android it works great... on Windows, not so much. I've concluded that the issue is with the touch support within Windows than a hardware issue.

Don't know where you are, but Walmart.com sells them for $15.

Thank you.
I'm in Canada. Walmart does not have that product. Go figure.
I could buy one from Hong Kong for $9.50 CDN and free shipping. The only downside is wait for 23 days.
MS Store is selling it for $29.99. Nuts !
