It requires three batteries:1 AAAA and two small 319 Renata batteries. Replacing them costs about $10--almost a fourth of the price of a new pen. And since the pen does not have an off switch, the battery life is shortened. One can loosen the barrel to disengage the battery connection, but then the barrel strips, and screwing it back into place is an ordeal. I bought the Lenovo Active Pen last week. It works with my Dell XPS just fine, costs less, and uses only one AAAA battery. P.S. I was never able to get the pen to work as a remote for use with PowerPoint, although Dell promotional materials promote that as one use. There were other similar glitches as well. ## Features - Whether you're taking notes, creating artwork or checking your email, this pen provides a natural writing feel and quick, effortless interaction with your screen. - The Active Pen is designed to work flawlessly with Windows 10 programs and will make daily tasks easier on your Dell 2-in-1 tablet. - Designed with technology from Wacom, a global leader in digital interface technologies, the Dell Active Pen offers high precision and accuracy, sensing 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity - This product is compatible with the following systems:XPS 12 (9250)Venue 10 Pro (5056)Venue 8 Pro (5855)Latitude 7275Latitude 11 (5175)Latitude 11 (5179)Inspiron (7568) (FHD Only) 'wake up feature not available'XPS 9365Latitude 3189 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01BA5JT6O | | Best Sellers Rank | #187 in Digital Pens | | Brand | Dell | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Tablet | | Compatible Tablet Computer Models | Dell Venue 8 Pro 5855 | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 237 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00884116196488 | | Item Dimensions | 7.28 x 0.51 x 2.24 inches | | Item Weight | 10 g | | Manufacturer | Dell | | Material | Aluminum | | Mfr Part Number | 4901157 | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 10 | | Model Number | 4901157 | | Number of Batteries | 1 AAAA batteries required.

It's just not working at all. Sorry for the animosity but I am so frustrated with this product that I can't just sit here and let people think this will work with their Specters x360. now I have a 50 dollars clicker to open onenote that does nothing else.... **Q: Can you actually take accurate notes with it?. For example, notes from a class?** A: I have used this pen for a full semester, and for me it worked really well...for about 2 weeks of class. Then, it started dying a little. It would randomly stop working and I never knew when it would start again, and I missed notes sometimes because of it. I actually bought a second pen because it had worked so well initially, and it, too, crapped out in 2 weeks. **Q: Is this compatible with the dell inspiron 11 3000?** A: Inspiron models tried and worked include /Inspiron 13 7000 Series (7347)Inspiron 13 7000 Series (7348)Inspiron 13 7000 Series (7352)Inspiron 13 7000 Series (7359) - The edition that has 3 USB 3.0 ports, has the IPS High-def monitor and the integrated, passive stylus (the one that sort of looks like the Note series has in their samsung penabled tablets)And of course, to make sure you have what's called a "2 in 1 solution" **Q: will this work for non-dell touchscreens?** A: It will work for the HP Spectre series of laptops...that is all I know. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by A***S on May 21, 2018* great penn too bad it was not compatible with my laptop ### ⭐ Buy Lenovo instead *by A***R on March 20, 2018* This pen worked inconsistently, even while writing.

They are not inter-operable. I use this stylus for my Dell xps 13 inch. It works effortlessly. However, be aware of the batteries. The 2 small coin batteries in the top half of the pen drive the bluetooth. This is the battery that is shown in the capacity on the blue tooth interface. It is not related to the AAAA battery in the base. This AAAA battery is what drives the screen touch sensor. My battery lasts about 6 months. If you find the screen is not reacting to the pen, hi chance it is a low AAAA battery. I bought a bunch of them on amazon and carry an extra one around with me. Other than the battery issue, this pen works effortlessly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dell Active Pen PN556W (N1DNK) - Duracell - AAAA 1.5V Specialty Alkaline Battery - long-lasting battery - 2 Count (Pack of 1) - ANVOW Smart AAAA Battery Charger with 2 Counts Rechargeable AAAA Batteries - Ni-MH 1.2V 400mAh 1200 Cycles Surface Pen Active Stylus Rechargables Battery --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/24023403-dell-active-pen-pn556w-n1dnk](https://www.desertcart.no/products/24023403-dell-active-pen-pn556w-n1dnk) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
