Review: Works as expected - This is a nice pen with good palm press control, something I need most. My other pen was a little nice but double the price. For this price and this precision and accuracy, it's a great purchase! I would still buy this than the other pen simply because I don't care about the advanced features. I just want a nice, precise pen I can use on my touchscreen easily. Review: Works well with Dell XPS 15" 9570 - I had many questions before buying this pen, but I bought it anyway (on sale), and I can say that it does everything I needed it to do well! It works with Dell XPS 15" 9570! Even though the Dell brochure doesn't say it, I can use it perfectly fine on my Dell XPS 9570. There is no jitter at all when you are writing, as some people have experienced with some styluses. The traces are very accurate and precise. It takes a single replaceable AAAA battery for its main functionality, so you cannot charge it directly, but you can buy AAAA batteries that are rechargeable if you would like. It comes with a non-rechargable battery in the box. It also takes two coin cells for the Bluetooth button functionality, but you DON'T NEED the coin cells if you just want the writing functionality and don't need the Bluetooth button. Two coin cells come with the box. It seems like the tip is replaceable, but no replacement tips come with the box, only the one that is attached to the pen. I've had some of these questions but hopefully this review helps answer them for you! ## Features - Device Type: stylus. - Color: abyss black. - Buttons Qty: 3. - Weight: 0.72 oz. - This product is compatible with the following systems: Latitude Latitude 5300 2-in-1 , Latitude 5310 2-in-1, Latitude 7210 2-in-1, Latitude 9410 2-in-1, Latitude 9510 2-in-1, Latitude 7389 2-in-1, Latitude 7285 2-in-1, Latitude 5289 2-in-1, Latitude 5285 2-in-1, Latitude 5290 2-in-1, Latitude 5300 2-in-1, Latitude 7200 2-in-1, Latitude 7400 2-in-1, XPS 15 (9575) 2-in-1 and XPS 9365 2-In-1 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XPYH66D | | Are Batteries Included | Yes | | Are Batteries Required | Yes | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,132 in Cell Phones & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Cell Phones & Accessories ) #380 in Styluses | | Brand | Dell | | Color | Abyss black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Compatible Tablet Computer Models | Dell Latitude 5285 | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 1,296 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00884116264477, 05397063961849 | | Item Dimensions | 2.36 x 6.5 x 0.39 inches | | Item Weight | 20 Grams | | Manufacturer | Dell Computers | | Material | Aluminum | | Mfr Part Number | PN557W | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 10, Windows 11 | | Model Number | PN557W | | Number of Batteries | 1 AAA batteries required.

I changed the battery and it worked a little better, but that only lasted for about 2 weeks. I changed the battery again, and the pen still has trouble working and staying connected. It was very frustrating when I would just sit in my classes waiting for it to register on my computer. I would miss a lot of notes, and I am just not happy with it anymore. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dell Active Pen (PN557W) - Dell Keyboard --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/45714614-dell-active-pen-pn557w](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/45714614-dell-active-pen-pn557w) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
