Different Types of Touchscreens & Stylus' Explained

- We use Dell 5300 and 5490 along with a Microsoft SurfaceBook to explain and demonstrate the differences in various touch screen technologies, including Capacitive, Resistive and Digitizer touchscreens. We use Dell 557W, Dell 556W, Dell 579X, MS Surface Stylus, a rubber tip, finger and a generic active stylus in the process.

TL;DR: Dell uses Wacom AES, not EMR; Surface uses N-trig, Wacom's Bamboo Ink/Ink Plus have both but u need to switch modes by holding the 2 side bottons together for a few sec. Bluetooth doesnt mean u can write on it, it's the pen and laptop's pen tech that matters
----- full explaination-----
Dell uses Wacom AES technology, also seen on SOME HP (HP hav both, some are N-trig, some are Wacom AES), Levono, Acer. While Microsoft and Asus, uses N-trig
Wacom Bamboo Ink has both AES and N-trig, but u need to switch it's mode between AES or N-trig by pressing both of it's side buttons together
Still Others like Wacom's own tablets, Samsung's Note and S Tab series and some other higher end art machines uses Wacom EMR, which the pen itself dont hav a battery or needs to charge at all and dont work with any above active stylus tech
The bluetooth function on ANY stylus is only for calling out the Windows Ink Workspace, has nothing to do with pen's writing/drawing function AT ALL.
e.g.
My machine is an Acer Concept D Ezel 3 which uses Wacom AES (higher end ezel 7 uses EMR), but i came from Surface Pro, and my bamboo ink works on both by just switching modes.
---bonus---
As for performance(IMO): EMR >> AES ~= N-trig if you're slow drawing(jitters in AES & N-Trig); EMR >= AES ~= N-trig if fast drawing and if u have software stablizing, it doesn't matter much
just an FYI
thx, bro - this comment was much more helpful than the videos I've watched XD.

What’s the best rechargeable stylus or pen for hp convertible 360 ? I’m so confused by all these brands, options and compatibility’s!!
My biggest problem is parallax. I have a Dell 7373 and a PN338M pen which is supported by the laptop. It works great, EXCEPT for the parallax that I can't seem to fix. In Sketchbook the cursor will show directly under the point of the pen, but when I start drawing, the line or dot that appears is a few pixels up and to the right of the cursor. There doesn't seem to be any way to get this fixed. I've used the calibration tool in Win10, but it's useless.
I have a dell inspiron 5482 2 in 1 laptop .
Can you please recommend a budget stylus/pen to me.
greetings, could you help me, please?
I need to know which pen is the original for one of the 15 7000 black edition, I bought it but did not bring the pen, it only has the space in the laptop. and I want to buy the correct pen that will fit in its place.
Which one is compatible with dell inspiron 7568 ?? Pn556w or pn557w?
Thank you 🙏 is the dell active pen EMR?
Alternative active stylus for Dell xps13 7390?
if i have a third party Microsoft pen protocol pen, can i use the replacement nib from Microsoft?
So I have the same Black dell pen as u had but it won't turn on just like yours??? Have checked the batteries a few times to make sure they are the right way but it won't light up. Pretty sure it is supposed to light up to be in pairing mode ?? Thanks would really appreciate it if you could tell me how u got yours to work
Is any of them compatible to touchscreen gateway laptops?
I am currently using dell Inspiron 14 (2in1) laptop, I lost my Dell active pen, and in my country I can't find it on online either.
So I have a question that is, will the surface pro supported stylus pen work on my laptop?
Does having the "Pen and Windows ink" settings means that u can use an active stylus with ur device? Mine is the Acer switch one 10 and it says it supports active styluses but idk which stylus to get, any suggestions? I hope u guys can help.
If you still have a owners manual, there should be a listing for the pen that is compatible.
What is the cheapest replacement stylus for the vintage HP Compaq 2710p notebook/ tablet? I recently purchased a used HP 2710p without the pen and I need a compatible stylus for it because the 2710p seemed to use an older generation resistive screen that does not support finger touches. I'm stuck with the hard to navigate trackpointer (no touchpad on this model), please help me find a generic stylus that is compatible with this laptop because the original HP pen replacement for this model is not available here in my country (Philippines).Thanks!
Where can I find a replacement for the nib?
Can capacitive pen work on digitizer ?
I have a Dell inspiron 3000 series. Which are the compatible pencil?
I had looked at the smartphones, the resistives were precise, I remember the first htc, the problem is that they consumed too much battery. The market then move on to the cheaper capacitives, but the problem is that the exact position is not known and cannot be drawn precisely on the display of current mobile phones, use pencil rubber. There was only one smartphone, the Note (the real) NOTE from samsung, which exploited the technology of wacom, and positioned references to the corners to be able to give the ordered and abscissa indications. To overcome the problem on capacitives, a pen with an electric charge (if I understand correctly) and with a particular tip is used.
But i never bought these pens and i never tried them.
Furthermore, some time behind a house he had made a system to make a non-touch screen become touch.
I saw your video, I'm interested in understanding which pens are good for the Dell 5300 touch, both from and from other manufacturers, even inexpensive ones.
Can you please advise me which pen is better the PN557W OR the premium one in the black box?
As I'm buying one tomorrow for my dell latitude 5285 2-in1
Thanks a lot in advance.
I have an Dell Inspiron 15 5515, I can almost guarantee that an active pen won't work. What is an alternative that I could use?
Thanks a lot. This video helped me a lot understanding what to take for my new laptop
Glad it helped
I'm thinking on buying the Lenovo Chromebook C330-11 81HY000MMH
, anyone recommend a budget stylus ? (It's a touchscreen laptop )
Just because it pairs does that mean it will work for my device? I can get a surface pen to pair with my Dell 5400 but that is all i can get to happen.
correct, bluetooth connection is only for calling up the Windows Ink Workshop, not writing AT ALL
So how and where can we check to see if it's compatible? I have an asus 14 zenbook and I want to get a pen for a portable second screen. Do you think that will work?
Do they work for all touchscreen laptop?
You really helped a lot! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH
Amazing video sir, short, clear and informative.
Hi, this stylus capable to use to other brand with touchscreen and external touch screen monitor??
can you recommend pen for dell Inspiron 13 5379.
does it supports any pen?
Do you know any brands that make soft tip stylus pen? Im not talking about the rubber tip I mean the brushy cotton swab tip? Those mainstream pens always scratch the board.
Thanks for the presentation.
Which one do you think is the best for your laptop dell ?
From painful experience, I can tell you that you need to check the Dell manual to find out what is compatible. You can also call Dell (sales line) and they will tell you.
@@URTechDotCa thank you ! Yes, I find the answer on the dell manual
Hello! I saw this video because I wanted to get a stylus for my computer, but I can't seem to find a good stylus. I have a Dell Inspiron 14 7000 2in1; touchscreen. What stylus will best work with this computer?
What worked for you?
@@texx2742 I have the same laptop so I wanna know too lol
please help ! I have Dell inspiron 7506 2in1 which dell stylus would work on this ?
My question is. Does a non-touch dell XPS allow an active stylus to work when you're using a touch monitor?
Excelent video! I need to ask you which pen is compatible with the Dell Latitude 5280?
Thks
Did you get a pen yet?
is there any compatible pen for msi creator ? thank you
Good video, learned a lot
Glad to hear it!

How could I know which type of screen of acer swift 5 is?
I want a pen for simple actions( write and draw simple objects)
Adonit pen staff told me that their pen use Microsoft pen protocol, if Ms pen works for acer swift5, adonit pen also does.
I would contact Acer or a store like BestBuy that sells the Stylus' to confirm compatibility Thanks Happy!
Hello I do have issue with my computer the pens doesn’t work on my Inspiron 13 7000 series
Can you please suggest for me something
I have a dell precision 7550. Dell active pens are way too expensive. Is there any way to tell from specs (eg. MPP) what other pens might work eg. Surface Pens?
I'm in a similar situation I have a dell inspiron and wanted to know how specific does the compatible model need to be with a third party pen.
If i use a screen protector will the pen still work properly?
which styluspen works on lenovo t470 can you please tell me
Is there any active pen for latitude 7480 ?
Dell Latitude 7480? How model pen?
Is any of them work for asus vivobook flip 14
Hello, I have a Dell Latitude 3300. What pen do you recommend that is compatible?
Which pen would you recommend for an msi creator laptop? The main purpose is 3D designing and sculpting
did u get an answer ? i am interested
@@robindelory7339 nope man I'm still searching for one. Been quite busy with exams and stuff so I didn't really think much about it.
Hi does dell inspiron 13 5368 support any stylus?
I was able to connect the PN557W Pen to a Latitude 5490 in the Bluetooth device manager, but it doesn't work, touching the screen doesn't do anything. Is there something else in the configuration that I need to do?.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would check the compatibility list. They are so specific.
So which pen is best for Dell inspiron 14 5000 2 in 1??? please tell me soon as im planning to buy it soon
Anyone answered you? Or did you find out wich Pen is working?
Hi, I'd like to ask if any of those styluses can be ordered together with a touchpad? I think it would be easier for me to use it just like a mouse so not touching the screen....
There are third party products that are essentially a touchpad with a stylus tethered to it. It takes a lot of practice create the necessary muscle memory.
Bought 2 universal pens. Have windows 11 hp envy 360 I dont want to spend over 100 for a pen.. what do recommend? None of the pens I bought bluetooth or anything so that was that..
Good day. So I have the PN557W Pen, however every time I decide to use the pen it seems the battery (AAAA) is dead and there seems to be no way to turn it off. Do I have to remove the battery everytime it is not in use? This is very frustrating. @URTechDotCa
Hi Roger;
I have not seen that problem. It should not drain when not in use, so perhaps yours is defective.
Thanks for the comment and sorry for the looooong time lag on the response; I have been in Hell in recent months with... lots of personal stuff. Thanks again.
@@URTechDotCa Thanks for your response. Hope everything is getting better on your end. Keep your head up!
I need pen supportted sony vaio touchscreen. Plz
does it work on like pc pc?
I have a dell inspiron 5482 . Can any of these pens have an option to program the buttons? For example i would like one to be undo and the second one to be delete. Thank you .
Hi OGG; Yes, I am 95% sure you can use Dell software or the integrated Windows settings to program the buttons. I no longer have access to those pens as that customer shut down its Canadian operations.
@@URTechDotCa thank you
So, what type of a screen is it if it uses plastic, non battery type stylus?
Passive
Resistive is still my preferred for anything serious, like inside trucks or anything on equipment that's used in extreme cold, or something import that HAS to work when you need it to, even when your fingers are covered in blood or grease, dirt, etc. You completely loose that reliability and function when you go to digitizers or capacatives.
Nice explanation
I just want pencil for my laptop.😊
good work
So all of dell stylus pen not work for Microsoft surface, but the Surface stylus could work for Dell ?
do you what dell laptops it works on cause i bought one but it doesnt work i have a dell latitude E7440
@@fabiolacruz5573 I don't buy Dell stylus. I use Renaisser Raphael 520 on Dell Inspiron 14-5485, It does work but has a delay cause the screen is 60Hz.
Dell altitude 3410, which dell stylus I should purchase?
You have to call Dell... they will give you the options. Thanks Subrata
Thank you. Great info and comparison. You probably saved me some headaches and returning. I have a HP Labtop with Touch Screen and I do Mind Mapping, rough kind no app, by hand for first drafts. Some even scratch the screen so I'm a little weary about that. You didn't mention this. There are so many I'm have decision fatique.
So which one worked? 🤦🏽♀️ PN556W or the PN557W?
56W, but also got 57W to work.
THANK YOU 🙏🏽
Do any of these devices record pen tip pressure?
I am 98% sure the most expensive Dell stylus does. Sorry James, I am just not sure as I do not have access to them anymore.
Which pen I can use in Lenovo flex 2
Capacitive
The mmp pen can work with microsoft
Cool!
So, what pens DO work on a Microsoft Surface Pro?
check the Sidebar in r/stylus
honestly the lack of cross compatibility is confusing!
Is adonit ink will work on dell latitude e7270 ?
You'll need to check the documentation or call Dell sales to confirm with pen will work.
Does a digital pen work for Dell inspiron 3593??
Hi Sharanjit. I can't say for sure. You could ask Dell.
@@URTechDotCa Thanks
I hope to find a silky tip stylus pen for digital art boards
It is tough to find the one that FEELS right and actually works with your screen.
My HP pen is to short,, are any longer?
I have seen longer stylus' BUT they are soooo picky on what they work with. I would check with HP to see what they say is compatible.
Thanks for the comment and sorry for the looooong time lag on the response; I have been in Hell in recent months with... lots of personal stuff. Thanks again.
I don't recognize the application you're using for your demonstration. Please, can you tell us the name? Thanks in advance.
It's Paint . NET
Can you link the devices?
And can you provide any insight on whether they are supported by inspiron laptops
Suggest me a pen for hp pavilion×360 i5 10th generation
They have to match your device, so you likely need to check with HP to see what is supported.

my dell active pen pn556w is not working
Hi Sevinch (great name BTW). The stylus has to match the screen type so I would check with Dell and make sure that the 556W is supported on your device. It is a real pain, but when it works it is great. Thanks for the comment
Definitely the Spen is the king. No need of batteries, excellent typing sensitivity. I think I will get myself a book 360 from Samsung. So far, my s7 tab plus is behaving perfectly but I need a touchscreen laptop.
Good to hear
Thanks for your video.
Its so stupid that every model comes with just one compatible active stylus. The manufacturers could easy support all kind of active pens, also those of other brands....but they don't want to.
Thank you!
Thanks for the thanks!
Not getting them to connect... I think it is a Windows problem, more than a stylus problem.
They really have to match so I would check the compatibility of the screen with your stylus. It is unlikely to be Windows related... but it could be. Thanks Rikard!
wow
well that was 11 mins longer than it needed to be lol
Pencil for laptop 😀
Yup... awesome tech that now only costs a few extra dollars
C kssya
Well, the conclusion is that Microsoft is a mess, and so their Windows 10 partners, for such headaches, compatible/non compatible, faulty software/OS, slow app launch, tons of virus, slow and disasters updates, better go with Linux/Android, faster, cheaper, way more reliable and at least Google is trying to unify those stylus with the USI - Universal Stylus Initiative
Hi Carlos; I would not agree with that, although I certainly understand your sentiment. Win 10 is fast, secure and the Linux, OSx, and Android certainly have their bugs and security problems too. Thanks for the comment.
Completely frustrated!! Which pen actually worked?! This goes by SO fast, and you never say the name of the pen, clearly. WHICH ONE WORKED!! Why are you rushing, and speaking so fast? We can't make out which number is which. How about you overlay a box with the name/number of the pen you're talking about. We need to know!
Agreed, video is a mess. Couldn't make sense of it.
Nah this video is goated. Might be fast for some but for me it just seems efficient 👍
He shows the pens number lol
Huh? He's not talking too fast. You can change the speed of the video to slow it down if you need
u r good at criticizing
What a fucking nightmare of compatability... fuck capitalism (in this specific case only)
So awesome... too many choices. The industry needs to get it down to just two.
hi. what is the best tech? lowest lag, best palm rejection, best pressure sensitivity? i want to by a 2 in 1 or tablet pc like Microsoft surface. most important for me would be lag and palm rejection as i am not an artist. (also refresh rate) i use a samsung note 10+ which works really well. only improvement i would like is less lag which they did improve with latter models. i would like to know which laptops use which tech so i know what to look for. i think wacom which is used by samsung is generally accepted as the best in the business but i also here very good things about Microsoft surface. asus make awesome laptops at very good pricing but i can't find much about how its writing tech compares. lenovo i think use wacom so that would be a good option but i am not sure about any of this. i would like a simple table that shows laptop brands and models that state which tech it uses and then comparative specs listing:
1. tech type,
2. latency,
3. pressure sensitivity,
4. palm rejection rating.
5 screen refresh rate also improtant
anyone know where i can find this?
ideally i would tablet or 2in1 with 32 gb ram, 1tb ssd, good amount of ports, good screen res, high refresh rate, writing tech. (idealy with graphics card)
microsoft surface and asus rog tablets seem good and even have rear facing cameras so a very mobile solution.
lenovo yoga, hp spectre, dell, asus also have options but i don't know which has best screen tech.
samsung galaxy pro 360 probably uses wacom and could probably be a great for me but not available in south africa.
asus flip 13 is a very compelling option but not sure of the writing tech.
lenovo seems like it may be the best all-round option but not sure which model.
please help!!
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, is there any alternatives other than Wacom or Dell's pen for Latitude 5300 2in1? I've been looking for cheaper alternatives since i lost my dell pen
Hii, I own a Lenovo ideapad c340. I'm looking for an alternative active stylus as the original stylus isn't available anywhere. Do you have any suggestions for that ?
