- MSI Nano Pen integrates seamlessly with Prestige Flip laptops for immediate access
- Tilt sensing provides precise stroke control when drawing and writing
- Two interchangeable tips give users options for different creative tasks
At CES 2026, MSI introduced the Nano Pen as part of its collaboration with Microsoft, creating a stylus designed for mobile productivity on the new Prestige Flip laptops.
The stylus is integrated into a dedicated slot on the bottom of the device, keeping it secure and immediately accessible.
The Nano Pen weighs approximately 13.5g, making it an ultra-lightweight option for frequent handling and extended writing or drawing sessions.
Design and technical characteristics
The device supports Microsoft Pen Protocol (MPP) 2.0 and offers 4,096 pressure levels and tilt detection, which allow more nuanced stroke control in compatible apps.
The pen offers a report rate of 266Hz and can hover 8-10mm above the screen, allowing for more responsive and precise typing.
It also includes two interchangeable tips, one sharper and one rounder, allowing users to choose the style that best suits their writing or drawing.
A distinctive aspect of the MSI Nano Pen is its built-in microphone for Microsoft Copilot, which allows for tap-to-talk voice commands.
By pressing both buttons on the pen, users can trigger voice input and interact with Copilot in a more direct and immediate way.
The combination of pen input and voice commands streamlines workflows for users who frequently switch between writing, drawing, and dictating content.
Charging works either via a USB-C connection or via the built-in slot on Prestige Flip laptops, depending on configuration.
The slot allows the pen to charge quickly, reaching full power in just 30 seconds and providing up to 45 minutes of use with just 15 seconds of charging.
Although battery life is relatively short, fast charging compensates for this limitation by allowing quick recharges between tasks.
The design keeps the stylus accessible while maintaining a lightweight profile and balancing portability and functional utility.
The MSI Nano Pen reflects an effort to combine conventional pen typing with AI-assisted voice functionality.
