Venue 8 Pro Active Sylus

I recently purchased the Dell Active Stylus to use with my Venue 8 Pro tablet.  Unfortunately, the only instructions that came with it were how to install the battery.  I have figured out that a tap with the stylus is the same as a left click with a mouse.  However, that is as much as I know.  I have unsuccessfully attempted searching for any instructions online. Could someone let me know how to use the stylus and what the two buttons on the stylus do?


Thanks.

Go to Control Panel in Desktop (view'large icons' to show all items), then select 'Pen and Touch'

There is info there and some options for the Pen and Flicks and Touch. This should get you going. Hope this helps

May I ask where you ordered the styles from? Here on the US site for Dell the Stylus isn't available.

I ordered it in late December from the Dell website.

Thanks, that does help.  Though I have found that pushing the pen button to "generate" a right mouse click doesn't seem to do anything.

I purchased my stylus at the Microsoft Store (brick & mortar)
