Dell Dell Active Pen (PN557W)

This is a nice pen with good palm press control, something I need most. My other pen was a little nice but double the price. For this price and this precision and accuracy, it's a great purchase! I would still buy this than the other pen simply because I don't care about the advanced features. I just want a nice, precise pen I can use on my touchscreen easily.

I had many questions before buying this pen, but I bought it anyway (on sale), and I can say that it does everything I needed it to do well! It works with Dell XPS 15" 9570! Even though the Dell brochure doesn't say it, I can use it perfectly fine on my Dell XPS 9570. There is no jitter at all when you are writing, as some people have experienced with some styluses. The traces are very accurate and precise. It takes a single replaceable AAAA battery for its main functionality, so you cannot charge it directly, but you can buy AAAA batteries that are rechargeable if you would like. It comes with a non-rechargable battery in the box. It also takes two coin cells for the Bluetooth button functionality, but you DON'T NEED the coin cells if you just want the writing functionality and don't need the Bluetooth button. Two coin cells come with the box. It seems like the tip is replaceable, but no replacement tips come with the box, only the one that is attached to the pen. I've had some of these questions but hopefully this review helps answer them for you!

I have had this pen for over a semester now, and I noticed 3 months in that the pen did not like to stay connected. I changed the battery and it worked a little better, but that only lasted for about 2 weeks. I changed the battery again, and the pen still has trouble working and staying connected. It was very frustrating when I would just sit in my classes waiting for it to register on my computer. I would miss a lot of notes, and I am just not happy with it anymore.

The stylus was well packaged and arrived ahead of schedule! The tracking is sharp and consistent, and it glides naturally across the screen smoothly. The battery is keeping a charge well.

The hardware feels sturdy, made of quality materials, and has the perfect weight for my larger hands. Great value for the money, definitely pick up if youre looking for a solid Bluetooth pen. Reason I'm not giving 5 stars is it is not super beginner friendly to set up, but I can over look that. Also it is not compatible with the art program I like to use, paintdotnet. Otherwise solid product.

Perfect fit. And the seller, Montana Joe, was quick and very responsive to questions re: compatibility.

Works!

In less than a year, the button at the top of the pen broke off, and sometimes, it failed to write on my screen. Needing batteries is a little bit of a hassle, especially because sometimes I can't find the right sizes at my local stores, so I would buy and keep batteries in my bag in case the pen died. Not terrible but I would appreciate more durability.

Product arrived on time and it was in perfect condition and it works exactly as described. Great purchase, I use it a lit!

Súper ligera cumple su función

Je ne suis pas franchement convaincu de ce stylet, je m'explique : Il bouffe les piles à une vitesse même quand il n'est pas utilisé (plus précisément la pile principale servant à la partie écriture (non Bluetooth qui est alimenté par deux petites piles boutons qui elles durent longtemps). Second problème, la mine que je trouve trop plastique pour écrire, ça manque d'adhérence ou de pouvoir la remplacer par une autre comme sur les stylets n-trig des surface pro. En clair, je vais peut-être acheter un autre stylet compatible Wacom AES qui est la technologie utilisée par ce stylet, et mon hybride Dell 5285.

This worked for me. Fairly responsive. Good value. Feels good in hand. Both buttons work and connected immediately. Thank you.

Perfeita, entrega rápida
