Superb writing pen

Superb pen, I have no problem using it with my XPS 9365 2 in 1. I have only one problem, I keep having to disconnect and reconnect the pin because the button doesn't work. work until I plug the pen back in. The battery life is also not as good as I expected.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Exchange available

old stock? - Computer accessories and peripherals

Bought 1 battery and seems to be dead, this pen uses a AAAA battery and 2 batteries. kinda unusual. I ordered a replacement and the second time around only the part that uses 2 cell batteries worked. I had to return it. Buying different types of batteries adds to the cost and it's a gamble to see if the pen will work. Not worth the headache.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Some small things

works but no battery

So if you're going to be using this pen every day or every other day, go ahead. Despite what Dell may say, this device stays on all the time. The battery lasts less than a week. maybe mine is broken? I had to buy rechargeable AAAA batteries to save more on replacement than I spent on a pen. Aside from constantly draining the battery, the device does what it's supposed to. But for me, who uses it every now and then, it's pretty much useless. Again, unless you use it every day. save your money

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • So-so

Works well with computer accessories and peripherals

Comfortable to hold. Now I can use my Dell as a tablet because it's a convertible and it's also a laptop. The seller's individual instructions were quite pushy about returning it unless it was the right pen for your particular model, and the individual instructions were also vague, just very pushy. I was embarrassed to open the package and wonder if this pen would fit my model, but that was the only way I could check because the poorly written additional instructions were misdirected and…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons

Works well with Dell XPS 15 " 9570

I had many questions before purchasing this pen but I bought it anyway (on sale) and can say it does everything I need it to do to be good! It works with Dell XPS 15" 9570! Even though it isn't mentioned in Dell's brochure, I can use it on my Dell XPS 9570 with no problem. There is no tremor when writing like some people experience with some nibs. The tracks are very accurate and accurate. Basic functions require a removable AAAA battery, so you can't charge it directly, but you can buy…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Update available
