Logitech has announced a new stylus called pen. It’s aimed at being the best option for classrooms full of Chromebooks. Unlike many rubber-tipped styli, the pen is an active stylus.
If a Chromebook is mentioned on this list, the pen will work with it. Logitech says more Chromebook manufacturers have been moving forward with the USi standard.
The pen can recharge via a USB-C port. Logitech claims it can last for up to 15 days of regular school use.
Logitech’s pen is n’t a consumer-facing device, so do n’t expect to find it in stores. Instead, it managers in your districts will be able to inquire through Logitech’s site and other education tech resellers.
Lenovo’s $ 34.99 USi pen is available for purchase here. It offers the same 4,096 levels of pressure and support for the USi standard.
The pen was tested on an Acer Chromebook spin 713, a higher-end Chromebook that’s compatible with the USi standard. Its larger, triangle-shaped design might be easier for younger hands to grip.
Logitech is backing each stylus with a three-year warranty. The pen meets the MIL-STD-810G spec for durability.
