Our fingers encountering enough friction to give us some uneven swiping and gesturing, but it's not bad enough that you can't get used to it and adjust the amount of pressure you're applying appropriately.

The keys on the Duet 5 Chromebook keyboard aren't backlit, like its predecessor, and the keyboard itself is still pretty flimsy, also like its predecessor. This is in contrast to last year's 10.1-inch, 16:10 ratio model, which was a better tablet than a laptop, owing to the cramped keyboard. Today, as found by redditor crakb and reported by Chrome Unboxed, we’ve got our first concrete details of Lenovo’s USI stylus including full images, as it’s now been listed with the FCC under the name “Lenovo USI Pen.At this size and with a 16:9 screen ratio, though, this is much more of a laptop that can operate as a tablet, as it is a bit unwieldy. When the IdeaPad Duet launched, Lenovo confirmed to us that they had plans to launch their own USI stylus, but couldn’t yet share any of the specifics. For example, our own Ben Schoon took some time to demonstrate the USI experience on Chrome OS by connecting an HP stylus to the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet, which is USI compatible. The aim of the Universal Stylus Initiative is to make it so that if you invest in a stylus of similar quality to the Apple Pencil or Pixelbook Pen, you’ll be able to use it on more than just one specific device. Lenovo’s upcoming “USI Pen,” built to complement their recent IdeaPad Duet tablet, has just been revealed in detail by the FCC.

Thanks to the recent Universal Stylus Initiative (USI), it’s slowly becoming possible for fine-tuned, pressure-sensitive styluses to be cross-compatible between devices.
