I'm not sure Dell sells a new ver of the pen maybe that one works on your laptop.

[@naveensankar149]

Thanks for uploading this. This was very useful. A minor feedback.. I was also hoping to see how to use the holder that has come with pack

[@whyunbox]

i'm glad that my video helped you, and i never did use the holder that came in box.

[@supunnigamuni5103]

Great pen. Works really smoothly. Is there a way to switch it off. Or just leave it connected at all time?

Do you have any ideas why you cant buy that pen on the dell onlineshop anymore? If I go to the shopsite, there is a message saying that the article is not available :/ And do you know if the pen works with the new dell xps 13 2in1? The 2019 model with the camra above the screen^^

[@whyunbox]

i'm not sure if it does but you can always e-mail dell and ask them if it does work. i hope this helps you and thank you for watching my video.

Does it works with Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series?

[@whyunbox]

as i did some research found out no it doesn't work with the pesorry but thanks for watching my video.

[@Fernandotsilva8]

on the dell website sayd no, but I bought for my inspiron 5491 and works perfectly

[@gabrielmills2361]

Impossible to unscrew the pen to insert battery. Don't want to risk breaking it by using pliers. Might WD40 be the answer?

[@whyunbox]

I don't think using WD40 is a good idea is the pen new or used or how long has you had it.

[@Fernandotsilva8]

On the Dell Website say that this Pen does not work with my Dell 2 in 1 5491, but I bought and works perfectly

[@whyunbox]

no you can't is only for dell, i'm sure HP has a pen that will work with thee laptops. and thank you for watching my video.

[@viktoriapfeff9195]

Hi. Why is that, that you did not download any application, you did not "connect" your pen to your laptop and it still worked at immediately? My laptop is supporting this pen and still I cannot start to use it. Guide says I have to download an app from Dell's website, which I did but then the app says I have to first connect the pen with the host first. I am clicking, pressing, restarting and it is the same, I cannot use the pen. Can somebody help me to solve this problem, please?

[@whyunbox]

well thanks for watching my video when you goto settings and under bluetooth does it show up on the list. Wacom the pen has 2 modes one for the laptop and the other is for Wacom tablet to change the mode you need to press both bottom buttons at the same time. please let me know if this helps you.

[@Applewictorie]

@@whyunbox Hi, thanks for íour answer. Turns out, an amazon customer has misled me with the comment that it is compatible with my laptop so I bought it, but on Dell's website, my laptop is not listed as compatible ones with this pen. So probably that is the problem. Thanks for the video and your help anyway!

[@jadestein4658]

Hi, thanks for the video. I recently bought the same pen, and although it has successfully paired with my device and buttons work, I'm unable to draw anything. Would you happen to know how I get it to work? Thank you

[@whyunbox]

the laptop has to be compatible with the pen. when you press both buttons at the same time you will change the mode of the pen. cause the pen also works with Wacom pad. i had the same thing happen with me and i changed the mode with out realize it i hope this helps you and thamk you for watching my video. .

[@jadestein4658]

Ok, I see. I ended up just fiddling and eventually pressed enough buttons to make it work. :) I'm very pleased with it

[@jwhisner435]

​@@whyunbox thank you so much! I couldn't figure out why my pen didn't work - I must have held down both buttons by mistake.

How go to blue tooth

[@whyunbox]

you mean how to connect to Bluetooth

[@dantechmke]

It would be super helpful if you knew how the pen works and what it does before you record a tutorial. Maybe also keep the camera on your pen during the entire time. I was able to save 15 minutes by just watching how to assemble the battery.

[@whyunbox]

thanks for the tip.

[@clanz246]

The most important thing is whether you learned anything from the video. Did you? I certainly did. He didn't pretend to know how the pen works. People so are quick to criticize.

@@whyunbox I agree. Total waste of cardboard. Just as safe smaller packages.

[@cippo1987ITA]

AVOID THIS PRODUCT AT ALL COST! Dell does not provide substitute tips (which are fragile) in every market. WORST than that DELL suggest just to buy a new PEN in case .... In your best scenari they suggest to buy Walcom tips, and funny enough walcom takes more care helping you then them, but of course they can not always fill the gap of dell negligence.

[@whyunbox]

mine is working fine and i do use it everyday and i'm happy with it. i guess time will tell.
