Mission

Universal Stylus Initiative (USI) defines industry-wide standards for interoperable communication between an active stylus and touch-enabled devices such as phones, tablets, and computing and entertainment platforms.

Overview

USI is an organization of leading OEMs, stylus and touch controller manufacturers driving industry standards to promote interoperable active styluses with touch-enabled devices such as phones, tablets, and computing and entertainment platforms.

The primary feature of the standard being developed is to define the method by which the stylus communicates with the content creation devices. One of the goals of USI is to provide a standard user experience while making the active stylus more affordable and widely available in the market.
