Dell part active pen PN350M, DELL-PN350M-BK

Bought with a little trepidation as it seems really hard to find out which styluses may or may not work with the Dell XPS 15 7590 - it officially does not support any stylus according to Dell, not being a 2-in-1 model. However it does have a 4k touchscreen that in Linux reports as a "Wacom HID 490A".Haven't had the pen very long but can report that I'm very impressed. It's working fine in Linux - both in Xournal++ (nice to scribble on PDFs) and in GIMP. Both are working with the pressure sensitivity so pushing harder makes thicker lines, and the accuracy is way better than using a passive stylus. Both buttons on the side of the pen can be configured to e.g. highlight or erase, as desired. The pen seems to work identically when configured in both AES and MPP protocols.Only thing that doesn't seem to work is any kind of tilt functionality. I don't know if this is lack of support in the pen, Linux or the laptop - I suspect the latter as others have reported no tilt functionality on the "unsupported" Dell laptops, too.Comes with one AAAA battery (unusual, but available on Amazon), lanyard, one spare nib and nib extractor. The pen is magnetic but of course won't stick to the aluminium XPS 15!If using the laptop in Linux with an external monitor then the "xsetwacom --set <n> MapToOutput <screen>" command will need to be used so that the pen correctly works just on the laptop screen and not across both monitors. Use "xsetwacom --list devices" to find values neede for "n" - all three need to be set.

I'm a student that uses the pen everyday for school work, i'm quiet pleased with what do now on Notebook with the pen. The pen tip isn't a problem for me as its been durable, plus it came with a spare included so i'm not worried. the issue for me was that i didn't have a protective sleeve to store the pen in my bag, and now the rubber material on the outside is peeling off. I can't guarantee it was due to a poor build quality but nevertheless i'd advise getting a pen sleeve with the pen just to prolong the aesthetic look. The pen still works perfectly fine after 3 months, i'd say the price is worth it thanks to how much work i'm getting done with it. just gave it a 4 star cos my background is low-income and it was at an unattractive £70 price.

Excellent pen and graphics artists would be delighted. For my simple whiteboard type activities, over the top and expensive.There seems to be no cheap option for the XPS 13 I have. Be very careful which pen is needed - it's a minefield.Anoher downside for this pen is that one replacement nib is provided, but it is impossible to buy additinal replacements. I probably won't run out, but various tales of woe online from heavier users who had to buy a new pen just becasue they were out of nibs.

Was concerned that I might not be able to find exactly the same stylus to replace the one I lost from my 2-in-1 laptop, but this was the genuine article and arrived really fast. I take so many handwritten notes and diagrams on my 2-in-1 that having lost my stylus was like having lost an arm.Now everything is back to normal.It's a pity that Dell couldn't have designed the 2-in-1 laptop to alarm if the stylus went too far away from it - that would be a handy option.

Coming from Apple Pencil I thought this may not be as good but to be fair the accuracy is just as good. I use mine on a i7 2 in 1 XPS and it’s performance on screen drawing is instant no line breaking just perfect. It’s easy to hold and comfortable but I gave it 4 out of 5 because I find the buttons sometimes get in the way.

Stopped working with my dell tablet after a few months.Amazon don't have an option to return, just speak to the manufacturer, and they're not easy to get hold of out of working hours.Buy a cheaper alternative, probably easier to return/replace and also don't need to buy aaaa batteries.

The pen is light and easy to use and glides across the screen. It works well and is comfortable to handle. However it's not going to turn heads like Mont blanc pen but that's not what I was after. I wanted the Casio of the watch world in pen format not the speedmasters and the elegance paired with the idea of a better world all I wanted was a pen that did it's job and that is this.

expensive but worth it.
