Logitech Pen specifications, features

As mentioned, the Logitech Pen works with all USI-enabled touchscreen devices including Chromebooks from leading brands without the need to pair first. Like pen and paper, teachers can write on students' Chromebooks and students can even work on each others' Chromebook laptops or tablets with their own Logitech Pen. Logitech Pen features 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity that according to the company will allow students to write much clearer lines or characters than with a finger. It offers a storage option via Pen loop.

Logitech Pen has a smart sleep feature that automatically puts the stylus in sleep mode when not in use. It also has a low battery LED alert for 10 percent of charge. The Logitech Pen can be recharged via a USB Type-C port. It packs a rechargeable Li-ion battery and promises up to 15 days of battery life on a single charge. Logitech says that a 30-second charge will give 30 minutes of playtime.
