Types of Stylus Pens:
Passive Stylus (Capacitive): A simple, unpowered stylus with a rubber or mesh tip that imitates a fingertip, working on any capacitive touchscreen by conducting your body's electrical charge.
Active Stylus (Digital Pen): Contains internal electronics, often a battery, allowing for features like pressure sensitivity (for varied line thickness), tilt detection, and programmable buttons, creating a much more realistic pen-on-paper feel.
Hybrid Pens: Combine a traditional ink pen for writing on paper with a digital tip for screens, or have both functions in one tool.
