How to use Surface Pro 3 pen as a (finger-like) stylus

[Nikhil]

Is it possible to use the SP3 pen as a stylus, so I can scroll with it and essentially use it like a very precise finger (all while retaining its current functionality)?

Yes and no, it depends on what API is being used, but in principle yes, especially for desktop applications, but the situation is more varied for MUI apps.

Yes. Use the lower button to select and also select (left click) the scroll bar.

So how would I go about changing the API that the pen uses for desktop apps?

Unless you are the developer of the software the API can't be changed.

I certainly use it that way on some websites and other apps.

in Win8.1 and win7 there is an included pen gesture to scroll If you make a fast swipe up or down gesture.

but thats not precise at all ^^
