Microsoft Pen Protocol 2.0 Stylus

The vitalASC Glow in The Dark Stylus 4096 Silver is an active pen certified for Microsoft Surface devices. It supports natural pressure sensing and tilt input for writing or drawing directly on compatible screens. No pairing is required before use. The silver barrel includes a glow-in-the-dark finish for low-light visibility.

Protocol limits on non-Surface hardware

Microsoft Pen Protocol 2.0 works only on devices that implement the protocol in firmware. The supplied list covers specific Surface, Dell, HP and ASUS models such as Surface Pro 3 through 9, Surface Go 2 and 3, Dell Inspiron 7300 or Latitude 7220, and ASUS Vivobook Flip TP510UA. Devices outside that list will not recognise pressure or tilt data.

Eraser button placement and tip wear

An eraser button sits near the tip for quick corrections, but its position can trigger accidental erasures during fine detail work. The pen ships with free replacement tips; tip wear varies with screen protector texture and drawing pressure. Because no pairing step exists, there is no firmware update path to adjust sensitivity or button mapping.
