Hello all, I'm looking to find a stylus pen that works for my device. I have the HP Pavilion x360 m3 - u003dx (ENERGY STAR), product number: W2L16UA, Windows 10, Touch support with 10 touch points, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz, 8.00 GB Ram. Now I've ordered the generic HP pen (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074XM4QSG?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details) That is supposably compatible with the Pavillion laptop, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Can anyone help with this matter? Thanks.

@pedersendavid3 The best way to identify which part is compatible with your device, is to check the maintenance and service guide for your device, if you can find the word Stylus or Pen on it, you'll have a universal part number along that would help in ordering one, here's the link to access the same: click here for details
However, I went through that guide and I'm afraid your device does not support an active stylus or pen, you could however, use a passive stylus, here's all you need to know about the same:
- A passive stylus (also known as capacitive stylus) functions the same as your finger on the screen.
- Passive styluses do not require batteries, and they work on any touch screen device.
