- The MSI Nano Pen seamlessly integrates into Prestige Flip laptops for instant access
- Tilt detection allows for 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 stylus designed for mobile productivity on the latest Prestige Flip laptops.
The pen is integrated into a dedicated opening at the bottom of the device, keeping it secure and immediately accessible.
The Nano Pen weighs approximately 13.5g, making it an ultralight option for frequent handling and extended writing or drawing sessions.
Design and technical features
The device supports Microsoft Pen Protocol (MPP) 2.0 and offers 4096 pressure levels and tilt detection, which allows more nuanced control over strokes in compatible applications.
The pen offers a 266Hz report rate and can hover 8 to 10mm above the screen, helping input feel more responsive and accurate.
It also includes two interchangeable nibs, one sharper and one rounder, so users can 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 tap to speak 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 stylus input and voice commands streamlines workflows for users who frequently switch between writing, drawing and dictating content.
Charging works via either a USB-C connection or the integrated slot on Prestige Flip laptops, depending on the configuration.
The slot allows the pen to charge quickly, reaching full power in just 30 seconds and providing up to 45 minutes of use from just 15 seconds of charging.
Although battery life is relatively short, fast charging makes up for this limitation by allowing quick charging between tasks.
The design keeps the pen accessible while maintaining a lightweight profile, balancing portability with functional utility.
The MSI Nano Pen reflects an attempt to combine conventional stylus input with AI-assisted voice functionality.
