Dell E7470 TouchScreen Stylus/Pen, Which One?

Question

Sorry, maybe this question was already mentioned before. Need to know which kind of stylus is capable for E7470 TouchScreen 2K.

I did some experiment:

1. Capacitive Stylus (with pressure) from Samsung Galaxy Note and Toshiba Z20t

Both styluses are working fine on Toshiba Z20t, but not detected on Dell Z20t

2. Active Stylus with Microsoft Pen Protocol 2.0

I had the pen from HP Envy x360, it is working well in HP, but not in Dell E7470. I suspect the problem might coming from the HID-compliant pen is not available on Dell. in HP I see Touch and Pen support, but in Dell E7470 I see only touch support, that's why, I suspected the missing HID-compliant pen on the Dell E7470, CMIIW. Please advise if we could download the driver in any Dell website. There are some different page on about page of WIndows 10,

Thanks,

Regards

An active pen requires a digitizer that the Samsung device (and likely the other systems you've tried) have -- your Latitude is a touchscreen, lacking the digitizer.

A generic capacitive stylus such as the one linked below will work -- but bear in mind that it's just a stand-in for your fingertip. You won't be doing precision writing or drawing on this system, as it is not capable of that.

Something like this will work:
