## Description

The Dell Premium Active Pen features flexible, multi-protocol compatibility with select Dell 2-in-1s with a Windows Ink compatible display.

Review: Don't forget your firmware! - The pen at first was just okay and I was afraid I was going to get something similar to some of the lower reviews I've seen. But after making sure all of the device firmware was up to date on the Dell Latitude as well as the separate Active Pen firmware from Dell's support site, I noticed I had more control and able to get different stroke intensity by pen pressure on the screen as I thought I should in various drawing apps I had installed to test. It works pretty well, would recommend for people who want to draw to get one of those glove covers for your hand that rests on the screen as I will sometimes get some whacky things happen when drawing. Otherwise, the pen itself feels nice and is magnetic where it will stay on the side of the latitude. It was a bit of a weaker magnet, so if you're a little rough with handling the laptop and pen or throw them into a bag, expect that it might slide off the laptop if you're not careful. I'd recommend it if you're looking for an Active Pen with your Dell device.
Review: Does the job - I am giving this 5 stars because I can't think of another Pen on the market that is better than this, even though this is imperfect. It works as advertised. It takes a "regular" battery (not rechargable), but you can supposedly get a very long life out of it before needing to switch. The controls are pretty straight forward. It's basic functionality will work on almost anything, but the advanced functionality (tilt) will only work with programs that support it, and support is not common. It works in ArtRage and Leonardo though (works really well with Leonardo actually). I have heard it works partially in photoshop. Make sure you research your favorite art app before buying this to make sure it will work with it. The pressure sensitivity and tilt functions will only work with ACTIVE displays...so just having a touchscreen is not enough. Though I believe basic functionality still works with regular touchscreens. Make sure your device supports Active Display before buying this. It's comfortable to hold, and pretty intuitive to use. I have seen a lot of people complaining that finding replacement nibs for it is difficult (I have no idea why...but I have been told you can buy them directly from Dell if you call).
