Microsoft Surface book 2 cannot press or click with the Surface Pen

Thanks for noticing this post!

I've followed Archlinux Tablet PC wiki to setup a tablet PC on Microsoft Surface book 2.

The cursor moves perfectly when the Surface Pen is closed to the screen.
But when the pen touches the screen, it cannot click or write anything, only the cursor moves with the pen. ( Left Click or Left press down won't work )
And the right click button on stylus works weirdly. Sometimes it works as right click, but sometimes it works as "Paste" or "Open the menu".

Here's some detailed information :

Distro : Archlinux
WM: i3wm
Stylus: Surface Pen with no clip

package:  xf86-input-wacom

And, it is not the problem with battery, because I've changed a new AAAA battery and it still won't work.
