Hi! Your pen works fine on the top button, but the touchscreen doesn’t recognize it. The device is connected, battery is fresh, and everything seems to function normally with fingers. It’s possible the pen tip is damaged or misaligned. Check for any visible cracks or bends in the tip. If you notice unusual wear or a change in pressure, that could indicate damage. Make sure your drivers are current and your PSU provides enough power (32/64 bit recommended). Let me know if you need help with further steps!
Around gen 3 Microsoft moved from Wacom-style stylus technology to N-TRIG. Your Go Gen1 is well beyond that era, though it’s worth noting when thinking about older Surface Pens. Surface Go (first generation) specifications and capabilities – Microsoft Support indicates it can work with a Surface Pen, suggesting the pen might be either too new or not quite mature enough. You may locate a model number on the pen, perhaps in the battery compartment.
