The Universal Stylus Initiative (USI) announced this week that it\u2019s established a new USI 2.0 open stylus standard, which includes new features that will make way for better writing experiences on Chromebooks.<\/p>\n

A big new feature for USI 2.0 is wireless charging that\u2019s compatible with the newest NFC spec<\/a>, capable of 1-watt charging from compatible smartphones and other devices. \u201cThe simplicity and ease of use of wireless charging means that consumer adoption will be rapid,\u201d said Mike McCamon, executive director of NFC Forum. NFC charging within the USI 2.0 standard means more devices can host wireless charging for attached styli, like how the Apple Pencil 2 charges against an iPad.<\/p>\n

USI technology is available on many<\/a> Chromebook devices from Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, and more. The standard gained significant traction among manufacturers after Google joined the initiative<\/a> in 2018 but has not been widely implemented on devices other than Chromebooks.<\/p>\n
