Compatible Stylus for art work on PC

[Uthej_Vattipall]

I am looking for a compatible styllus for art work on my HP ENVY x360-15-w-237cl.

@Uthej_Vattipall

"W" models in this series include:  w0xx and w1xx

Model name	HP Active Pen (Synaptics) J4R51AA#ABL (CAN/ENG) J4R51AA#UUF (APJ) SPS: 773175-001	HP Active Stylus (Wacom) T5E12AA#ABL (CAN/ENG) T5E12AA#UUF (APJ) SPS: 834590-001	HP Pro Tablet Active Pen (Synaptics) K8P73AA / X7N12AV SPS: 798051-001
ENVY x360 15-w0xx	x
ENVY x360 15-w1xx	x

The short answer is "I don't know" whether the same pen will work on your model series w2xx.

I have sent off a request for information -- it may take a while to hear back...

We, too, have to wait in line...

If the pen is indeed supported, the compatibility document will be updated to reflect that information.

IF, if you wish to do so, you could try the pen noted as supported in the w0xx and w1xx models.

NO guarantees - the information is offered "as is" for your consideration.

Things that are the HP Pen

First, find the computer's Model name:

HP Notebook PCs - How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

Next, search the document for a compatible stylus:

HP PCs - Touchscreen Compatibility with Pen and Stylus

If there is an HP Active Stylus available for your model, it should be included in the document.

Additional information can be found in Advisory Documents.

Search the Compatibility Document 

• Open the document in your browser
• Click open both (all) categories (business and consumer) to expand the lists
• Examine the lists to find a match to your computer model
• Product Name contain an “m”? Consider this to be the same as the model with no “m”.
  • Example: HP Envy x360 15m-bp011dx is the same (and uses the same stylus) as HP Envy x360 15-bp011dx
• Use CTRL-F to open the webpage search bar – type in the model type of your computer, leaving off the “HP” prefix and stopping just before OR just after the “dash” in the name. “Less is better”.
  • Example: Spectre x360 15-   or   Spectre x360  or  even just Envy x360 (no size designator)
• If a match is found, examine the results to determine if there is a pen for your model group
  • Example: matches for Spectre x360 15 include model groups: Spectre x360 15-ap0xx, Spectre x360 15-bl0xx
• What about “xx0xx” as compared to “xx1xx”? Sometimes these are both the “same” (both support the same pen). 
  • Example: Envy x360 15-bq0xx is the same as Envy x360 15-bq1xx
  • If you are not sure, ask. (Know that response times vary widely – our community forum does not have access to the information and we, too, must ask to receive additional information.)

Passive Pen / Stylus

If you do not find an active pen listed for your computer, consider the "passive" pen as mentioned in the document.

Reminders:

• Passive pen is not the same thing as an active stylus.
• Passive pen does not act like an art pencil.
• Passive pen does not interact with Windows Ink.
• Passive pen can operate the desktop -- open icons, menus, activate programs.
• Passive pen does not have a battery nor does it contain any electronics used to interface with the screen. 
• Capacitive / Passive pen tips are "fat" to allow the pen to cover enough of the screen area to activate the "touch".  (See article below for actual terms and definitions.)
• Use your favorite search engine -- search for "active stylus versus capacitive stylus"
