Not all stylus pens work with every device.
Stylus pens are designed to interact with specific touchscreens. Some styluses use electromagnetic resonance (EMR) technology, while others use capacitive technology.
EMR styluses work with devices that have a digitizer layer built into the screen, such as some tablets and phones.
Capacitive styluses work with any touchscreen device, but they may not be as precise as EMR styluses.
To ensure a stylus works with your device, check the specifications of both the stylus and the device.
Here are some examples:
- An Apple Pencil only works with iPad models that support it.
- A Wacom Bamboo Ink stylus works with a variety of devices that have EMR technology, including Wacom tablets and some laptops.
- A generic capacitive stylus will work with most smartphones and tablets, but it may not provide the same level of precision as an EMR stylus.
