No stylus support is currently planned for the XO.
The touchpad is designed to work with a stylus across the full width of the three panels. (Only the center panel is sensitive to your finger.) A stylus does not ship with the laptop. See [[Pen Tablet support]] for more details.

Currently, there are no activities that use the stylus. However, in a future software release, the [[Paint Activity]] (formerly known as Draw) will work with a stylus.

Mouse, Touchpad

Can I attach an external keyboard or mouse?

Most USB keyboards and mice work fine. However, avoid "PalmPilot keyboards," as these use IR (infrared), and "wireless keyboards," as these use Bluetooth—neither of which are supported on the XO laptop.

Is there a stylus for the touchpad?

No stylus support is currently planned for the XO.

Why is my touchpad jumpy?

There are three known touchpad issues. A USB mouse is a useful workaround in all three cases.
