Dell Active Pen button not working consistently...
My Dell Active Pen's (Dell P/N 750-AAMI) button doesn't respond to the tablet on a consistent basis. If you press it for 0.3 secs. it's supposed to bring up the sketch mode and double-pressing it brings up the Windows Ink feature but the only way I can seem to get this to work is by unpairing the pen and then reconnecting it to the tablet's Bluetooth. If I sleep the tablet and reawaken it, the pen button is unresponsive again.
I'm not that into these features anyway but I'd like what I buy to work. Any suggestions?

I don't think you read my post. I was having trouble with the button on top, not the interface of the Active Pen. The Active Pen interface was actually sufficient.

Hi SolidSonicTH,
Sorry for confusing the troubleshooting steps.
Do you have any other tablet to try this Active pen?

I don't think there any other compatible tablets except the Dell Venue 8 Pro 5855

How do you get a Service Tag off an Active Pen? I had a similar problem with the old Dell Active Stylus in the past.

Hi SolidSonicTH,
Was the Active Pen purchased along with the tablet or separately? If it was separate, do you have an order number for this purchase?

Hi SolidSonicTH,
Thank you for reaching out to Dell Community Forum.
Have you tried by calibrating the touch?
Have tried by updating the BIOS, chipset and LCD firmware from our Dell Support site?
Please private message us the service tag of the system along with your email id, so that we can check on the system configuration.
