What to know

  • The SonarPen stylus can now be used with MacBook trackpads as a drawing tablet.
  • This is possible thanks to a new driver for macOS 11 or later.
  • SonarPen was previously only compatible with iPads and Android devices.
  • The update allows more users to access affordable drawing tools on their MacBooks.

The SonarPen stylus, known for its affordability and compatibility with various devices, now works with MacBook trackpads. This is made possible by a new driver released for macOS 11 and later. With this update, you can use your MacBook's built-in trackpad as a drawing tablet, without needing to buy extra hardware.

Before this update, SonarPen was mainly used with iPads and Android tablets. The new driver expands its use to MacBooks, making digital drawing more accessible. You only need to install the driver on your MacBook and connect the SonarPen stylus. Once set up, the trackpad responds to the stylus, letting you draw, sketch, or write directly on your MacBook.

This solution is especially useful for students, artists, and anyone who wants to try digital drawing without investing in a separate tablet. The SonarPen stylus is known for its pressure sensitivity, which helps create more natural lines and strokes. Now, MacBook users can take advantage of these features using the device they already own.

The update is available for MacBooks running macOS 11 or newer. If you already have a SonarPen, you can download the driver and start drawing right away. This move brings more flexibility and value to MacBook users who want to explore digital art or take handwritten notes.
