Logitech on Monday announced the Pen, a $65 stylus that works with any USI (Universal Stylus Initiative) compatible Chromebook. While Logitech is announcing the Pen now, it won’t start shipping until April. It will be available to purchase through Logitech’s Educators channels this month. 

I received a Pen about a week ago and tested it out briefly on the
Acer Chromebook Spin 713

. One of the first things I noticed about the Pen is its design. Instead of a circular housing, the Pen has a triangular design — meaning it’s flat on three sides. According to the company, the design is meant to be easy for children of all ages to hold for long periods of time. That’s also the same reason that the yellow grip on the Pen comes up higher than you’d seen on a regular ink pen. During testing, Logitech observed kids holding the Pen in different places and with different grips.
