Which active pens are compatible for the HP Envy x360 dr1230ng?

[Tomacco]

Hello Community,

I want to order an active pen for my HP Envy x360 dr 1230ng. I did find the HP Pen1MR94AA#UUF and Hp Tilt Pen 2MY21AA#ABB support said convertible. But to be honest? The first one does not seem to be the best and the latter one requires Bluetooth. Honestly, I don't want a pen that discharges my battery faster because of the bluetooth.

Also I can't find ANY information on what kind of active pens this laptop supports, to be honest. Not even the documentation had any information about the digitizer or pen compatibility.

This support page links to a compatibility list for all active pens, but when I do try to look it up, the site is gone 404, can't find the document..

https://support.hp.com/de-de/product/hp-envy-15-dr1000-x360-convertible-pc-series/29126488/model/313...

I would very much like to know which kind of pens are compatible, like generally all N Trig pens or what?

Thank you for your patience. Any links to referencing documentation would be nice.

Edit - Update on document status

The compatibility document to which you refer is currently not available - I did submit an inquiry to have someone check.  When the issue is resolved the document will again be available or we will at least know the status.

The compatibility document is not currently available.  HP is aware of the change and is working on a new solution path.

Pens for this model include:

HP Pen 1MR94AA  

HP Tilt Pen 2MY21AA  

The "generality" of pen kind compatibility is not something we can confirm.  HP, in so much that I am aware, does not test non-HP pens - and if HP does do this, the results of such tests are likely private (not published for the public).  There are most certainly test-this-and-that Pen related articles available on the 'net.  I have not checked - I am assuming that if someone has thought of it, the  information for "It" is posted somewhere on the Internet.

Yes, you do have to make the decision on whether having a pen is worth the requirement for any connection / charge setups (Bluetooth, for example).

Thank you for your fast reply. One more question, does the Tilt pen only write with active bluetooth connection? (Assuming I only want to use it to write and erase, no need for any other functionalities)

I would pick the tilt pen over the HP pen for the rechargable battery.

You are welcome.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to the question. 

My guess is that Yes, the pen requires that Bluetooth be switched ON.

For those wondering, I did order it anyway and it arrived today. Turns out writing works without Bluetooth, erasing works for me too. What I like is, palm rejection works fine on this device with the Tilt pen. Dunno if it really has palm rejection? But at least when I have my palm or arm on the screen, I'm not getting any random lines like I did with the Lenovo L13 yoga for example.

But there is one drawback, neither the HP Pen nor the HP Tilt pen offer replacement tips.. Something I would have wished for.

@Dragon-Fur Thanks for looking into it. 🙂
