    Hey there,

    I have the Dell XPS 15 9530 with touchscreen. Today I received my stylus (polar pen) which works perfectly fine on my Nexus 4, iPhone and iPad but doesn't work well on the XPS15. I have to press really hard against the screen and even then the screen won't recognize the stylus contact most of the time.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    @edit: okay nvm.. it looks like due to the magnets in the pen the contact was from stylus to screen was disturbed. I put the stylus on the other end of the pen and now it magically works.
