  • Digital pen for Oukitel RT1

    From Massimo Peca@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 15 19:52:39 2024
    Hello everyone,
    I hope I am in the right place.
    I would need to know what are the models of digital pens from Wacom (or
    another good manufacturer) with "passive capacitive" technology. Reading
    their website, I didn't understand it.
    I asked Wacom technical support, but they couldn't tell me. They only
    provided me with useless and misleading information.
    I have to use the pen with my Oukitel RT1 tablet. I asked them (Oukitel)
    which pens were suitable and they said, "Dear customer.
    Our tablets only support passive capacitive pens.".

    Thank you
    Regards
    Massimo

    Just a "pen" with a plastic shaft and a rubber tip will work. Just like
    your finger, the stylus changes the capacitance at the touch point. You
    can some with the blunt rubber ends, with the pointed tips, or a combo
    of both. To emulate your finger but with better precision, the blunt
    rubber ends are good. If you plan on drawing, you'll probably want the
    pointy ones. Some have removable tips, so you can pick a size.

    You can add "Oukitel" into the search criteria, but you'll get similar
    pens listed.

    Wacom EMR is tech that uses a passive (inductive) pen - been on tablets for
    20+ years. But the display needs to support it.

    By 'passive capacitive' they probably mean 'looks like a finger' - a giant rubber foam stick. Such are available all over from $1 upwards.

    There are also active styli that claim to give more precision on capacitive screens - Adonit is one brand. Often they're optimised for popular models
    like iPhones/iPads, so using them on a random phone may not work, or may
    lack precision.

    Dug out an Adonit Snap (2016) from the drawer and tried it on a Pixel 7 Pro
    - it works ok, although diagonal lines are wavy showing a loss of precision. But the battery will no longer charge so it'll only work with the USB
    charger plugged in, making it less useful today.
