help Stylus with Palm Rejection Technology FAQ

Will any stylus advertised with palm rejection work on any tablet?

No. Reliable palm rejection requires compatibility among the pen protocol, the tablet's digitizer, and sometimes the application, so an iPad stylus is not automatically compatible with a Samsung Galaxy Tab or Microsoft Surface.

Can a passive rubber-tip stylus provide true palm rejection?

Usually not. A basic capacitive stylus looks like a finger to the touchscreen, while systems such as Apple Pencil, Samsung S Pen, and Microsoft Pen Protocol let the device identify pen input separately.

Is palm rejection the same as pressure sensitivity?

No. Palm rejection suppresses unintended hand input, while pressure sensitivity changes the digital stroke according to how firmly the pen is pressed.

Why does my palm still make marks with a compatible active stylus?

The application may not fully support the stylus protocol, or a drawing setting such as pen-only input may be disabled. Firmware, pen pairing, and using an incompatible replacement stylus can also affect rejection behavior.
