Operating Instructions
The AccuPoint Active Stylus is designed for intuitive use, mimicking the feel of a traditional pen.
Using the Ultra-Accurate 2mm Tip
- Simply touch the 2mm fine tip to your device's touchscreen.
- Apply light pressure, similar to writing with a pen on paper, for precise input.
- This tip is ideal for drawing, writing, detailed selections, and fine-point navigation.
Using the FiberMesh Tip (if applicable)
- Some models may include a FiberMesh tip on the opposite end. This tip offers a softer touch and is suitable for general navigation, tapping, and swiping.
- It requires less screen pressure than the fine tip and can be used for broader interactions.
