Dell Venue 8 Pro Supported Pen

[Ernad Chanda]

Hi
Does anyone know list of Supported Pen on This device ?

Problem is i Cant get the Original Dell active Stylus One.

is it possible to use other Sylus Pen ? (Intuos Creative Stylus2 - Stylus Fineline - ...) ?

or other brands like ( Adonit Jot Script - Wacom Pro Pen - bamboo solo - .. ) ?

Only the official Dell Stylus works.
It uses proprietary tech and I'm all bit certain it wont work with other techs such as N-Trig or Wacom.

Make sure to get a newer revision of the pen as well... The earlier ones had issues.

I'm using revA02 without problems and there is apparently an even newer one out now. Have you tried searching the web? I got mine on Amazon.

From the Dell website (accessories) page...
They seem to have the newer/improved/good one buried. They are still selling the old version(some problems still) and at the same price as the new one....inventory reduction? They really should just pull the old one off the site to save face and prevent inevitable future send-backs. You have to search ALL of the tablet accessory styli in order to find it. The Dv8p stylus search goes to the old problematic one. <sigh>

Sooooooooooo for clarity....
Old one which has some problems still - Dell part #750 - AADH $34.99
New one which has good reviews and seems to be working well - Dell part #750 - AAGN $34.99

Both can be viewed on this Dell parts stylus page: Tablets & Mobile Accessories | Dell

The top/first listed one is the new good one (750 - AAGN), the second one down the list is the old problematic one (750-AADH)

has anyone tried 750-AADT, how does this one work?
I am getting a good bargain that and would love to know how it worked for other DV8P users

I'm looking at getting the dvp8, primarily to use the pen for highlighting and some notes. Is the stylus so bad that this would be a chore to do?

 

[Broomcorn]

Is anyone looking to sell one of the dell pens? Preferably the good one, please let me know, thanks!

I have it. It's not like surface 3 but you can't compliant..
If the price is not too hight buy it.
