Hp Tilt Pen doesn't work with spectre X360 convertible

[torrado]

Need some help connecting HP Tilt Pen - 929863-001 with Spectre X360 - 13-4150np.

I'm able to connect the pen using Bluetooth but only the 2 buttons work. 

Touch doesn't work (any kind of touch).

Thanks,

The following is relevant.

Product introduced in Mid-2016

Specifications

Although it is possible I have missed something, I do not find the Tilt Pen listed as a compatible device for your computer model.

Active Stylus - Compatibility Document

Search the document for a compatible stylus and find additional information about stylus support.

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.
• If you are unsure of the model series, click open the appropriate category (Consumer or Business class systems), peruse the list to find supported models.
• Pen(s) compatible with your computer are marked with a “check mark” to the right of your computer model, in the column(s) under the Pen name / description(s).
• Additional information can sometimes be found in Advisory Documents for your computer.
• The document is updated as new information becomes available.

Partial Excerpt from the document (at this writing):

Model name	HP Active Pen (Synaptics) J4R51AA (CAN/ENG, APJ) SPS: 773175-001	HP Pro Tablet Active Pen (Synaptics) K8P73AA SPS: 798051-001
HP Spectre x360 13-41xx	✔️	✔️

Somewhat significant, there are no "Tilt" pen drivers listed in your computer's Software and Drivers Website Support.  Normally, if the pen is supported, the drivers (if / as needed for a particular stylus) would be listed.

I believe the Tilt Pen stylus is not compatible with your computer.

Perhaps significant:  I cannot find solid evidence that any stylus is supported on this computer - this in spite of the listing in the compatibility document.

In your region (retrieved from from your profile), I find two Product Numbers for HP Spectre x360 13-4150, both for the "CA" model type.  Simply ignore this - I have included it mainly for my reference.

HP SPECTRE X360 CONVERTIBLE 13-4150CA

N5R98UA, N5R98UAR

I do have limited access and I am in the USA.   This might make all the difference.

Rats.  (Technical Term meaning "This is frustrating".)

If you wish to try a different stylus, I recommend you try the one in the compatibility document that might be available in your region.
