- MSI Nano Pen integrates seamlessly into Prestige Flip laptops for immediate access
- Tilt detection allows precise control of strokes 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 pen designed for mobile productivity on the newest Prestige Flip laptops.
The stylus is built into a dedicated slot at 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 use and extended writing or drawing sessions.
Design and technical characteristics.
The device supports Microsoft Pen Protocol (MPP) 2.0 and offers 4,096 levels of pressure and tilt detection, allowing for more nuanced control over strokes in supported apps.
The pen offers a 266Hz reporting rate and can float 8 to 10mm above the screen, helping input feel more responsive and accurate.
It also includes two interchangeable nibs, one sharper and one rounder, allowing the user 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 enables push-to-talk voice commands.
By pressing both buttons on the pen, users can activate voice input and interact with Copilot in a more direct and immediate way.
The combination of stylus input and voice commands streamlines workflows for users who frequently switch between writing, drawing, and dictating content.
Charging works via a USB-C connection or 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 pen accessible while maintaining a lightweight profile and balances portability with functional utility.
The MSI Nano Pen reflects an effort to combine conventional pen input with AI-assisted voice functionality.
