Thinkpad 2 pen and Spen compatibility

[inmnbob]

Does anyone know if the pens from the Lenovo and Samsung products are interchangeable? I have a lot of Samsung Spen that I use on my Notes and Ativ. I ordered a new Thinkpad 2 to take advantage of the smaller size and was hoping that my existing pens will work on all devices.

The ThinkPad is a wacom digitiser. The SPen is also thought to be a wacom digitiser. It may well work but there are different wacom models which are not compatible. Without just trying it yourself I don't think anyone can predict the result.

When you buy a ThinkPad 2 and there is no digitizer included, then only Wacom pens work. Those for 5€ OR Jot touch pro...
But the good digitizer won't work because the feature isn't in the display from ThinkPad without an included digitizer.

I got the Thinkpad 2 yesterday and the first thing I tried was the various s pens I have. Good news is they all work

What????

Only wacom pens? they are the digitiser pens. The wacom is a capacitative pen.

And yes, wacom digitiser is a standard feature on the thinkpad, just they dont always pack the stylus in with it.






Good news that the SPens work. Makes sense seeming as they are wacom based.

How is your experience with the tablet? Still reviewing my options for windows 8 tablets and a wacom pen is a requirement for me.

as of right now there are 2 different types of digitizers. 1 is what the intuos uses and the other is what is in the note series of android devices and most newer w8 devices use. The surface pro and most devices use what is called the feel range of sensors. as long as your device has this type of digitizer and not the intuos one the pen should work fine.

Sony also have their own type of digitiser
