HP Pavilion x360 14 inch 2-in-1 Laptop PC 14-ek1000 (742J0AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

I have recently purchased the HP Pavilion x360 14-ek1501sa 14" 2 in 1 laptop. How can I find out which pens are compatible with the laptop? I'm looking for something with good pressure sensitivity for digital art. Any recommendations for a pen that can give me effortless and precise brush strokes?

Hi @t_user9,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

 

I understand you're looking for information related to compatible pen for your laptop model.

 

The HP Pavilion x360 14-ek1501sa supports active styluses compatible with Microsoft's MPP (Microsoft Pen Protocol).

 

Recommended Styluses:

HP Rechargeable MPP 2.0 Tilt Pen:

  • Offers pressure sensitivity and tilt functionality for precise drawing.
  • Rechargeable via USB-C, ensuring convenience and longevity.

Surface Pen (Latest Model):

  • Fully compatible with MPP.
  • Excellent pressure sensitivity and smooth performance for digital art.

Features to Look For:

  • Pressure Sensitivity: Higher levels (e.g., 4096) provide better control over stroke width and opacity.
  • Tilt Functionality: For shading and advanced drawing techniques.
  • Battery Life: Choose rechargeable styluses for longer usage.
