HP Tilt Pen
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I purchased a new HP Tilt Pen (2MY21AA#ABL) for use with my HP Spectre x360 Convertible (2482F730-5327-4D9A-BB7B-891645B3E1B7) and am unable to use the former with the latter.  I charged the device, synced to bluetoo successfully and can even use the eraser button to open the programmed hotkey options.  However the pen tip and eraser are completely unresponsive on my touch screen, the side button elicits no response.

I have checked for drivers to update and there are none.  I have tried several different HP and Microsoft native programs and with the pen without any response.  I have searched online and found multiple sources that say that my specific model of HP Tilt Pen and HP Spectre x360 are compatible.  And yet... all evidence indicates I've wasted 60 bucks.

Can you help me figure out how to use my pen with my laptop?

  1. Remove the pen from its packaging.

  2. Twist the pen to unlock it...and then pull the end up to access the charger.

  3. Charge the pen with a USB-C plug. A white LED illuminates to indicate the pen is charging.

  5. Twist the pen cap to close and lock it back into place.

Pair the pen with the laptop via Bluetooth.

Customize the pen settings in Windows 10.

  1. In Windows, search for and open Pen settings.

  2. Customize the pen settings:

    • Pen & Windows Ink: Choose which hand to write with, and enable or disable visual effects, cursor, and a setting to ignore touch input when using the pen.

    • Handwriting: Choose to write directly into a text field, change the font and font size, and choose to write with your fingertip.

    • Windows Ink Workspace: Customize additional pen settings (if supported by your pen). Settings include show recommended app suggestions; set pen shortcuts; and select pen behavior when you click once, double-click, or press and hold.

  3. Save the settings and open an app to use your pen with the selected settings.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Hi there.  I'm still waiting for a response from you.  I replied previously to this post saying that I had already taken all of the steps you advised for me (several times) and the pen continues to be completely defective unable to register touch on my computer under any circumstances.  It appears my response has been removed here.

Please advise me ASAP on how to troubleshoot, replace, or refund my pen.
