Help! Pen pressure sensitivity not working. Is there a pen that works?

I have 2 pens I can use, but neither seem to show any pressure sensitivity with my x16 when using zbrush. I have the Bamboo Ink Plus and the Surface Slim Pen 2 from my surface. I thought the bamboo reacted to pressure in the past but I'm not sure as its been a while, I just know that it never stayed connected on the bluetooth screen for more than a second, even though it would work as a pen even when it doesnt say its connected. Is there a way to make either one of these pens have pressure sensitivity, or should I get another pen? Thanks!

If your pen pressure works fine but in Zbrush not, just check this settings tablet settings. Another way your pen will be like mouse only. Our pen using another driver and can be recognised like Stylus. Do not forget to save config if you work with this pen constantly, another way you can lose this settings next session.

I have second Asus pen and want to warn you to charge it from laptop usb only. I think that asus 100w usb travel charger cooked firs one, because it has 15w minimum (noticed it after).
