How To Use Tablet Pen

A tablet PC or a graphic tablet emits magnetic pulses that are picked up by an inductive coil inside the Tablet Pen. Earlier versions of the Tablet Pen uses batteries. The new generation Tablet Pen uses magnetic pulses EMR (Electro Magnetic Resonance) are cleverly used not only for position sensing by the pad (X,Y axis), but also to power the buttons and pressure sensor in the Tablet Pen. 

The tip of the pen physically connects to a pressure sensor but has no ink nor electronic functionality, which is why nothing happens when you write with it.
