    This pen doesn’t work the way it is suppose to. It works backwards. (Wrong end). Do not buy at all a waste of money. I would give this product 0 stars if the rating system would let me.

      We are sorry to hear that the Active Stylus for Chromebook does not appear to be working correctly for you. it sounds as if it is working as a normal Stylus. This could mean that your model of Chromebook does not support USI compliance. You can check this be contacting your manufacturer, looking in the settings of your Chromebook for Stylus tools, or you may be able to find out by looking at sites like this https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/usi-enabled-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 assist you further. Targus

    The Targus Active Stylus For Chromebook was deemed an excellent choice by Mr.Donovan Colin Castell to be used in tandem with the Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook on the basis of the affordable price and functionality.

    Great pen that works well with my laptop. Have had no issues with it so far and I like that you can replace the battery. It also comes with a replacement pen tip which is nice as well.

      After an extended idle period you may need to tap the top of the stylus once or twice. Please also be sure that the Chromebook you are using it with is USI compatible or the stylus will not work. Some Chromebooks that are USI may need you to activate it on the computer. Look in settings for Stylus tools.If you need any assistance with this please contact our customer support team at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST. They will be happy to assist you.

    We have the HP Chromebook X360 14B-CB0013DX and it does NOT work with this chromebook. The pen is USI able but it will not work on this laptop. What a shame. Therr is no light, button, or indicator on the oen to tell you its on and working either. Dont Buy This! Purchases the HP brand pen or buy one from amazon that states it works with your model.

      I am sorry the Active Stylus did not work as expected. If your Chromebook is not USI compliant this would cause the stylus to not function. Please reach out to our customer support team at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM EST to 7 PM EST. They will be happy to help you. Targus

    This product did not work with my daughter's Chromebook, though it was listed as a compatible item. I called HP and Targus to troubleshoot with no luck.

      When you called HP about this did they inform you if your HP Chromebook was USI compliant or not. The Active Stylus will work with Chromebooks that are USI compliant. If you are not sure, there is a way that you may be able to tell. Try going into your settings, once there look for Stylus tools. If it is there check to make sure that it has been activated. If it is not there then the Chromebook is most likely not USI compliant. If you have any questions please reach out to our customer support team at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 Am to 7 PM EST.

      I am sorry to hear that this Active Stylus did not work with your Samsung Chromebook. There are some Chromebooks that are not USI compliant, which is what is needed for the Active Stylus to work with it. If your Chromebook is USI compliant you may need to activate it. To do this go into your settings and look for Stylus Tools. From there you will be able to activate it. If you have any other questions or concerns please reach out to us at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST. We will be happy to help. Targus

    did not work with my chromebook

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    doesn't come with anything to help you set up if set up is needed. way too pricey since it doesn't tell you which Chromebooks it's compatible with because it's clearly not compatible with all of them unless I am wrong. I WILL be returning this item, and I'm not happy with it. very upset that youtube or google couldn't even help set it up. I would not tell anyone to get the stylus, as I had no luck with it, very poor way of getting people to buy a stylus for Chromebook laptops by saying it's compatible but not telling you which ones. as an artist it is very hard to find a good stylus that will work for my dell chromebook (which did come with a stylus but it stopped working over the years and I no longer have due to losing it in my move)
