A digital pen - that is, a stylus that "writes" on a computer screen - should work perfectly well in space, assuming that the tablet device or touchscreen would work in vacuum.
In the early days of the US space program, there was a level of concern that traditional ball-point pens would not work in free-fall, because the ink was gravity-fed to the ink ball. (Ball point pens typically do not work when held upside down, for example, or when writing on a surface above the body of the pen. )
NASA commissioned the design of a "space pen" with a pressurized cartridge allowing it to write in free-fall or when inverted.
