Simultaneous pen and touch

Perceptive Pixel’s revolutionary active stylus enables you to sketch, annotate, design, draw, brainstorm and mark up documents directly on our projected capacitive (pro-cap) displays as easily as if you were using pen and paper. With the ability to detect and differentiate between simultaneous stylus and touch input, our pro-cap displays pair with our active stylus to give you an unprecedented level of accuracy and control.

Work the way you want to work

Work fluidly on screen with both the stylus and your hands without the need to toggle between input modes. Our innovative controller technology flawlessly differentiates styluses from fingers while tracking input from each stylus separately and eliminating false touches. You can easily annotate or draw on screen with one hand while repositioning on-screen objects with your other hand. And you can rest your wrist comfortably on the screen as you write or draw with the active stylus because our devices recognize and reject a palm or forearm touch input.

Bring more ideas to the drawing board

The Perceptive Pixel active stylus features identity recognition so that up to four people can work simultaneously on our larger displays. Each stylus has its own distinct input stream which can be tracked and used by applications.

Do more than draw

Our active stylus registers on the sensors of our pro-cap devices as it hovers up to ½ inch above the screen, enabling software to report additional information such as latitude/ longitude, distance, time/depth, x/y/z coordinates and more, prior to engaging the screen.

Designed for comfort, precision and customization

The ergonomically designed, soft-coated barrel of our active stylus is comfortable to hold and features a switch that can emulate familiar right-click, left-click mouse input or be programmed for any function. The low-friction, replaceable tip of our active stylus is engineered for a smooth, controlled feel on Perceptive Pixel display surfaces. It comes to a sharp point, giving you sub-pixel precision and registers pressure to capture the nuance of your stroke as you write or draw. In addition, you can use the Perceptive Pixel API to develop your own innovative applications using our active stylus.
