Unable to pair bluetooth pen

I have a pen with a top button, and two side buttons.

I changed the battery.

I am unable to pair the device through Bluetooth.

Any suggestions?

Hi Speedy

The only pen you should use on that device is the HP Active Stylus Pen and that should have come included with your laptop . . .

That pen is available from HP and many online stores . . .

 

Bamboo pen paired but not working

For me on the ASUS q325ua I found you have to change the bamboo ink protocol from default AES to MPP. I did this and now my pen works perfectly. Hope this helps!

Your Bamboo Ink needs to be set to the right protocol for your device. Bamboo Ink is preset for the Wacom AES protocol. Switch between Microsoft Pen Protocol (MPP) and Wacom Active Electrostatic (AES) devices as you please.

Press and hold both side buttons at the same time for two seconds to switch between protocols
(one blink means the pen is in Wacom AES mode and two blinks means MPP mode) or to fix pairing and connectivity issues between stylus and device. Repeat to return to the previous setting.

Full instructions and illustrations for pairing and changing pen protocol can be found here:

*also note that prior to this I had tried it with my old laptop and successfully paired it with that. While my pen was paired to my old laptop it would not respond or pair to my new laptop. To unpair from my old laptop, I went to settings, Bluetooth and
other devices, selected the bamboo ink, then clicked "remove device" After that it paired easily with my new laptop.
