Smooth & Precise Digital Writing

The Dell PN557W delivers a natural pen-on-screen experience with responsive pressure sensitivity, making it suitable for handwriting, sketching, document annotation, and creative work. Its pressure-sensitive tip allows users to vary input naturally, while palm rejection on compatible Dell systems helps prevent accidental touches when resting your hand on the display.

Its compact 160.59 × 9.50 mm body and approximately 20 g weight make it comfortable to carry and use throughout the day. The pen features a durable premium plastic/metal construction and uses a non-rechargeable battery system consisting of one AAAA battery and two 319 coin-cell batteries, helping eliminate the need for charging cables.
