This device won’t be available to consumers at launch.

The Logitech Pen doesn’t requiring pairing, thanks to its USI support. But, it won’t work on every Chromebook released.Logitech has announced a new stylus called Pen, and it’s aimed at being the best option available for classrooms full of Chromebooks. Unlike many rubber-tipped styli, the Pen is an active stylus that supports the Universal Stylus Initiative standard, effectively guaranteeing one thing: it’ll work out of the box on a number of recent Chromebooks — no pairing required.

The Pen can recharge via a USB-C port located where you’d find the eraser on a traditional pencil, and Logitech says it can last for up to 15 days of regular school use, though that claim assumes your student is using it for about 2.5 hours a day with its smart sleep and wake feature enabled. If it dies, Logitech claims that a 30-second charge can yield 30 minutes of use, and it can be used while recharging.Logitech’s Pen isn’t a consumer-facing device, so don’t expect to find it in stores.

The USB-C port on the back of the Pen makes it easy to charge it with the same charger that comes with most Chromebooks.It’s true that Logitech isn’t the first company to release a USI-compatible stylus, nor is its Pen the most affordable or the most capable., just to name one example of many, offers the same 4,096 levels of pressure and support for the USI standard. But Logitech’s angle for the Pen is to be more of a staple for the classroom with its design.

Inflation up because supply down and demand up. Then monetary policy versus fiscal policy. I trust the fed before government.
