USI Stylus/Pen for LENONVO Ideapad Duet 3

anotherbob

I've bought my grandson a Lenovo Duet 3 (Qualcomm) for Xmas. It doesn't come with a stylus/pen. Looking for info on the web suggests that finding a compatible pen for this device isn't as simple as one would expect. I found an article on CHROME UNBOXED website which suggests that there is only one pen that will work with the Duet 3, which is the LENOVO USI PEN 2, but I can't find a UK source for this.
Anyone here had any luck with this?

Personally I wouldn't bother, I assume from the want to buy a stylus/pen this is  touchscreen?

If so that's what your fingers are for

Lenovo use a proprietary stylus, so you will have to register for Lenovo to email you if they make any more. They are very, very, very expensive, which is why they don't include one.

You can use one of those super cheap styluses from eBay (get a pack of 10, they disappear faster than biros) if it is just to pick buttons on the screen, select text or write a smeary note, but the proper stylus is needed for artwork.

It will get lost straight away, you need a device that includes internal storage/charging for a stylus, or a case that has a holster for the stylus, the "attaches by a removable clip" idea is a non starter

I have a stylus for my convertible- somewhere, I haven't seen it for years, but it was really good as a novelty item when I first had it, if I were an artist I could have used it for painting & sketching.
