Stylus

  • The DC-1 has palm rejection, so you can rest your hand comfortably as you write.
  • The display is glass, with an anti-glare film. Because the film is slightly porous, it gives a satisfying feeling of friction. Like writing on paper.
  • When you get the stylus near the display, it will light up some of your options.
  • No battery / Bluetooth required for the stylus pen.
