    I had no idea that these electronic pens were so complicated or diverse. It'll get the job done for what you need and allows for superior penmanship compare two higher-priced options that most likely will be unnecessary for most users. It does however burn through power relatively fast, so make sure you have a steady supply of AAA batteries ready to go if you're a student.

      As this is an Active Stylus for Chromebook that utilizes USI it would only work for devices that use the USI protocol. We do have other great styli for non-USI devices. Please contact our customer support team at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST. They would be happy to help. Targus

    I searched a stylus for my ideapad chromebook 3 and typed usi 2.0 in the shop. This was the first result. I purchased and later discovered that it is useless fir my lenovo chromebook. I am rating 1 star because it is useless to my needs.

    Purchased this for my daughter for her pen enable chromebook. Now I occasionally use on Mine. No complaints and I like that I can switch the battery out manually with a replacement aaaa battery... Am I opinion? This means that I can guarantee. It's service life to last longer.

    The pen didn’t work so we thought maybe the battery was dead. We bought new batteries and then only the back of the pen worked. The actual tip of the pen never worked on the Chromebook

      Our Active Stylus for Chromebook is USI 1.0 compliant. If the Chromebook you are planning to use it with is not USI complaint or uses USI 2.0 then this stylus may not work for you device. The best way to check compliance is to contact the manufacture of the Chromebook. Targus

    It works fine but feels terrible while writing.

    It works well enough but feels like writing with cheap garbage. I ultimately returned the chromebook I bought this to go with and therefore returned the stylus as well. However I think I would have returned the stylus either way. It just feels cheap in the hand, there’s weird clicking as you move it around like there is something loose inside it, the pen nib sorta clicks in its housing every time you press down even very gently, and it feels like writing on glass with a hard plastic tip. It’s just not enjoyable.

      We are sorry to hear that our Active Pen was not compatible with your Lenovo Flex 3. This active pen is a USI device meaning if your laptop supports USI then it will work. The Chromium Project has a list started of laptops that do support USI. Please understand this may not be a full list and some information on it may be out dated but it is a good starting point https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/usi-enabled-devices/. If you have any questions please contact our customer support team at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST. Targus
