Thanks

Thank you for responding,

It's great to have you back 😉

I checked the compatibility list and I see there is no compatible stylus for your computer, However you could try a passive stylus.

• 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.

  While non-HP branded passive stylus are not supported by HP, most will work with HP touchscreen computers and tablets.

Please refer this link for further reference. 

Hope this helps. 🙂

Hi Barachiel. Thanks for prompt reply. I found this in another post,
Synaptics screen digitizer. There's a firmware update to enable the driver. I found the drivers at :
http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-15-bk000-x360-convertible-pc/10862175/mo....

Expand the firmware section and I selected "HP FHD Touchscreen Controller Firmware Update" (there's also an HP HD Touchscreen Controller Firmware Update). If you click on "Details" you get taken to :
http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-pavilion-15-bk000-x360-convertible-pc/1... which gives further details. Posts for the similar driver for the HP Spectre said that it failed to install and needed to be extracted and manually installed, but the auto-install worked for my Pavilion X60 15-.

To may it clear, I'm using the HP Pro Tablet Active Pen, p/n K8P73AA, thou it was referred to as the HP Pro Tablet 408 Active Stylus at PC World. With this enabled I have a "Windows Ink Workspace" icon in the system tray that gives access to pen enabled apps.


Would that not be relevant to my hp? Does it not have a Synoptics screen digitiser?

Thank you for replying with this detailed response 😉 

I appreciate your time and efforts,

This computer came with  13.3" diagonal FHD UWVA anti-glare WLED-backlit touch screen (1920 x 1080) and as I said earlier, I wasn't able to find a compatible stylus in this list, however, If it work's perfectly, you could still use it. 🙂

Once again, I appreciate all your efforts and patience in this.

Best regards,

Hi Barachiel. I will mark this as answered but too let you know the link to ‘list’ doesn’t provide a list at all. Just generic page on the difference between active and passive styluses.

Thank you for responding,

It's great to have you back 😉

If you click on the consumer "computers compatible with HP pens and styluses", the first row, has the list of the computer's, and the compatible stylus or pen are listed by the next rows.

You've been great to work with and it has been a genuine pleasure interacting with you.

I hope both you and your product works great and remain healthy for a long time 😉 

Take care now and do have a fabulous week ahead. 🙂
