Review: Works well in Linux on Dell XPS 15 7590 with 4k touchscreen - 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 desertcart), 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  MapToOutput " 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.
Review: Does a good job - It isn't as intricate or feature rich as some of the competition, the pressure sensitivity seems a little 'on' or 'off' with not much between, but otherwise I've no qualms with it. I mostly use it for doodles on my dell Inspiron and it does a solid job, and it's relatively inexpensive so no complaints from me. For a general user or someone wanting to test the waters with graphic design cheaply, so long as it works with your display, you can't go wrong.

## Features

- The pen’s multi-mode controller can be used across all protocol platforms—MPP 1.51 (Microsoft Pen Protocol), Wacom AES 1.0 and the latest Wacom AES 2.0 technology.
- Quickly launch OneNote by clicking the top button and write notes (even on a locked screen), capture a screenshot, or activate Cortana. Efficiently erase or launch the context menu with the side buttons. Install Windows Ink Workspace to customize buttons to your needs.
- Rest your palm comfortably on the screen when you work and you’ll be safe from potential errors thanks to palm rejection technology.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Over the top for my simple requirements
*by L***H on 9 June 2022*

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.
