Universal Stylus Initiative (USI) releases improved version 2.0

DATE: Fri, Aug 15, 2025
PUBLICATION: Chrome Unboxed

The Universal Stylus Initiative (USI) – to date – is the only open standard active stylus solution available for Chromebooks that allows a single stylus to be used on multiple touch-enabled devices. We have seen this technology emerge from humble beginnings, where pens needed a AAAA alkaline batteries and had side buttons to more modern versions like the Penoval USI702 which charges via usb-c port and includes a tail eraser. Also, let’s not forget that Ufro pen that picks colors from real-world objects and lets you use them digitally.
