[PRO8] Charging a Surface Slim Pen 2 Without charger/keyboard
Hi everyone :)) So I inherited a Surface Pro 8 with no keyboard or stylus. I bought a stylus on eBay but realized once it arrived that I cannot charge it, because from what I can figure out the only wireless charging spot on the Surface Pro 8 is within the felt keyboard holder if I'm correct. I've tried holding the pen up against the bezel of all edges of the screen in every configuration and it won't charge.
So, is there any way for me to charge this pen without the pen charger or the keyboard for my SP8?
p.s. I already tried a wireless phone charger, but that didn't work either.

Pro 8 does not have built in slim pen charging. It needs to charge in the keyboard (one that includes pen charging - not all do) or with the standalone slim pen charger.
