Notes

¹ Special stylus required.
² Hard tip stylus can all be used on resistive but can damage the flexible top layer and lead to failure.
³ Requires special electrically tethered stylus not currently availabe from Elo.

No guarantee of acceptability of the technology to the application is implied by this quick reference table.
