I've had an HP laptop with a touchscreen for a few months, but haven't really used the touch feature.  Support tech said an active stylus isn't compatible. What kind or type would bork best? besides using my finger. 

 

Thanks

Hello @jdr1984,

 

Yeah, unfortunately, it doesn't seem like any active styluses are compatible with this device.

 

You are going to have to opt for a passive stylus, which in essence, is basically the same experience as using your finger. It may be a bit more comfortable and prevent smudges on the screen but it honestly may not be worth the investment.

 

If you are interested, any touchscreen passive stylus from an online reseller or your nearby tech shop should work.

 

Hope this helps,

Eddy
