Will the stylus from the Framework 12 be compatible with the 13 pro screen? Will the full feature set work or only parts or none? ---

The Framework 13 Pro is touch only, it has no stylus support at this time.

@Destroya also commented on [this Reddit thead](https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/1ssudq5/comment/ohq68lf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) below.

It is not compatible with stylus, I am a victim of my phones autocorrect today, apologies. Edited the reddit comment. Pro touchscreen does not have stylus support. ---

> [@Destroya](#): > > It is not compatible with stylus Well, in this case I will wait for the 2028 upgrade to the FW 13 **Pro+** … If you don’t want my money now, you’ll get it later 🤷 ---

@Destroya All right. I think it’s worth documenting that Framework Laptop 13 Pro is not compatible with active stylus pen like Framework Laptop 12, but it is compatible with [passive stylus pen](https://www.amazon.com/passive-stylus/s?k=passive+stylus) somewhere on the product page or a knowledge base page. In my use case on Framework Laptop 12, I am using the active stylus pen to annotate and sign on PDF document files with [Okular](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okular). I see it’s very helpful. I wonder that use case still works with the touchscreen on Framework Laptop 13 Pro. ---

Do some passive stylus pens work well? I’ve only tried a very basic cheap one, and it was just completely unusable, skipped constantly. ---

You really shouldn’t. The matte surface is good for handling finger touches, but we haven’t tested with those types of rubber-tipped passive stylus pens. ---

Ah, I failed to consider the matte surface. Perhaps a screen protector could be used. Never tried one on an already matte screen, I would hope that not an issue though. ---

I’ll be honest, since the 13 pro isn’t an origami format laptop, I would not expect the screen to take stylus support.
