tell me!" why does a stylus need a battery? there are styluses Samsung (from wacom), they do not require charging, and therefore expensive components for the battery. I understand that Microsoft wants to cash in at our expense and at a higher price, but then all their promotions about the environment go to the dump of populism. passive stylus technology exists. agree already and do not spoil the nature of people. Am confident that ordinary users preferred would the standard stylus without recharging at all even wireless and at all preferred would the emergence of standard universal on the basis of styluses Samsung. and it's time for all devices to have the default support of the stylus (weight tablets, smartphones, laptops and computer monitors). this should become the norm as a typC, or camera in a phone.
