    • Don't forget your firmware!
Style: PN579X
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. ... show more

    • A much improved model for Dell
Style: PN579X
This is a newer model of the Dell Active Pen. After downloading the correct drivers, it works with my Latitude 5285.

    • Could be improved
Style: PN579X
This pen works as intended. The only things that would make it better are an eraser mode at the top of the cylinder and for it to be rechargeable, so I didn't have to buy rechargeable batteries for it.

    • Keep sending me the wrong pen!!
Style: PN579X
I like this pen. I use it everyday as a math teacher. I have ordered 6 of these pens so far this year!! HOWEVER, Dell keeps sending me the wrong stylus pen. 2 different times, I have ordered this PN579X stylus and they have sent me the PN557W. While they are both compatible the PN579X is superior in multiple ways. I understand that mistakes happen! But what makes this worse, is every time I have to return the incorrect pen and re-order, the price goes up!! I am paying more money for their mistake!! ... show more

    • 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). ... show more

    • Works well but disconnects frequently
Style: PN579X
Honestly not sure if it is my computer or the pen sometimes but regardless it occasionally stops writing in the middle of what you are doing. it is usually resolved by taking out the battery and putting it back in, tapping the screen a million times or putting the computer to a quick sleep I still use it. it’s Easy to write with and is really convenient to have but it’s really annoying when it turns off ... show more

    • Works well with a Dell XPS 15 2in1 9575
I got this pen to go with my Dell XPS 15 2in1 9575 and it works great. I use this for photo editing and design work (in Photoshop, Lightroom and Microsoft Publisher mainly, though I also use it for editing web layouts) and it helps a lot. Sometimes on a laptop trying to use the touch pad can be a bit tricky, and this pen allows perfect control over your selections. There are also several different functions/settings for the buttons, which are super useful. I wasn't sure how I would like the tether that comes in this pack, as it didn't seem like you would be able to use to pen very well while it tethered, but so far the tether has not really gotten in the way of my hand motions. Obviously you can keep the pen tethered only when you are transporting your laptop, but if you take it back and forth to work daily you can also just leave it on without it getting in the way too much. I had to check a couple different places to make sure this pen was compatible, but if your laptop is and you do creative work, I would definitely recommend getting this pen. ... show more
