Samsung S Pen not working on RDP

Hi there, great app! I use it heavily.

However, there's a major usability issue for me. I am used to using the pen that is included with my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. But I cannot use it with RDManager on RDP sessions.

Touch events by the pen are simply not recognized and have no effect. Mouse mode and touch mode usingy fingers work normally. I tried various settings without effect.

Samsung S24 Ultra, Android 16

I would love to see support for the S Pen :)
Thanks for considering!

Hello,

Thank you for the report and the kind words about the app!

I tested this on my end with a stylus in an RDP session. While I personally find the pen input a bit finicky compared to finger or mouse input, I wasn’t able to reproduce a bug where the pen is completely ignored.

Could you clarify what you mean by “touch events are not recognized”?
For example:

  • Does the pen not register any click/tap at all inside the RDP session?
  • Or does it register but behave differently than expected (e.g., dragging, right-click, pressure, etc.)?
  • Does the S Pen work normally outside of RDM on the device?

If possible, it would also help if you could tell us:

  • The RDM Android version
  • Whether you are using Touch mode or Mouse mode
  • If the issue occurs with all RDP sessions or only a specific host


This will help us better understand the behavior and investigate further.

Thanks!
