If you remote desktop to a Windows 10 machine, will the S-Pen hover work as a mouse pointer? Will the pen button act as a right click like the Surface pen does?

I'm considering this tablet for work but I typically need to remote in to my Windows workstation to do CAD and other graphic work and I'm wondering if the S-Pen has any functionality through RDP.

Unfortunately, nope. Unless a dev makes an RDP app FOR S-Pen, the app will not use the pen input with the high-level features it offers. As the RDP app stands, it will only take input from the S-Pen as it if it were a much more precise 'finger': only if you touch the screen. The S-Pen button will not be mapped as the app isn't coded to recognize it (instead the OS will recognize and launch whatever function you set it up for).
