ACTIVE PEN COMPATABILITY

[BANANAFARMER]

Hi,

     I`ve just bought the HP Spectre X360 Model 13-4172 and i`m trying to find the correct Active Pen to buy , I contacted where I bought it from and they said it didn`t support the Active Pen which i find confusing because in settings under Devices  theres a section for PEN AND WINDOWS INK theres also a PEN shortcut on the taskbar .

Any help would be appreciated . Thanks

Hi @BANANAFARMER,

Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community! I came across your post and wanted to assist you.

As I understand you want to know if the HP Active Stylus Compatible with HP SPECTRE X360 13-4172na notebook,

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution: 

As you suggested, I did go through the Maintenance and Service guide for your PC and did not find any information about the support for Active stylus, . Here's a the link: HP PCs - Touchscreen Compatibility with Pen and Stylus

That said, you can always get a passive stylus as it works on any touchscreen device regardless of its brand or model,

Keep me posted,

Your laptop has a Synaptics digitiser, so any (first generation) Synaptics pen should work. Besides the one listed on this page, there is also the Dell Active Stylus for Dell Tablets (750-AAGN or 750-AAHC). The consensus is that the Dell pen works even better than the HP one. In any case, I can personally confirm that the Dell one works well on the Spectre.

Hi there,

I am having the same problem. Did you find an active pen that worked?
