Not compatible with the chromebook we bought. No detailed instructions on how to use it. 2 geek squad member looked at it and. tested but didn’t work on both times even one tried changing the battery. So we returned it and found one online which is way cheaper and works with the chromebook.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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)
