Windows 10: Pair two pens with the same Latitude 5175

Hello,

We use Microsoft One Note in the Latitude 5175 when visiting clients to take notes and facilitate explanations to them. Problem is that many times, we and the client must work on those notes together. To facilitate control who wrote what, we are thinking of using two pens. One of the pens would have, say, blue colour and the other black colour. In this way we and the client take notes at the same time into the same OneNote page, facilitating the creativity process in our joint work. We have to pen models: Dell PN556W and the other is Dell PN557W.

Question: is there a way to connect the two pens to the same notebook?

Bamboo pen paired but not working

I recently purchased a Lenovo Yoga 910 and a Bamboo pen to go with it. The pen is paired just fine, but nothing else works. The screen doesn't prompt the Windows Ink Workspace or give me any reactions. I have un-paired and paired again with the same
problem. Any ideas?

 

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.
