Wearing begins the first day using it to do artwork. Exactly what the first Bamboo stylus DID not do. Apple Pencil is great, for sure. It doesn't seem to break down in any way, and it is actually the best tool for artwork where precision on the Anatomically correct drawings is necessary for when giving directions in medical notes, etc. but this is only useable on iPad Pro. The bamboo solo that DOES work is the short one with the cap. It's the only one I don't wear out over night. It could be the fact I need to place a screen protector on my iPad Air 2 ; because the box includes the fact it may NOT work with this kind of cover.

The stylus is poorly made. The mesh that covers the tip wore out 2 weeks after I purchased it. A few days later the cover around the tip came off. It was able to be pushed back on, but I’m disappointed in Wacom. I purchased it because I have the bamboo drawing pad and it’s excellent. All of their products are not made with the same durability.

Ended up buying 2 because the nib got lost. Not good

It's a great stylus if you use it for it's intended use. It's wonderful for opening apps on my smartphone and tablet. Should you download the SwiftKey app, it's about 99% accurate on the G8+, probably because of the smallish keys. I wanted the fine tipped one, so I could write on those apps that allow it. It would save a lot of time, especially on the fly, but couldn't justify the considerable jump in price. Writing non-ability aside, it's a joy on the screen, gliding like an Olympic figure skater destined for a gold medal. I really can't think of anything I'd improve except for making it a bit longer, so the keys aren't blocked by your hand, and a little thicker, to improve holdability. I bought the first one for full freight with my bonus points, but when I saw them at 1/2 price on Cyber Monday, I bought a couple of them. I lost the original and was going slowly insane with a stylus that bogged down constantly no matter how many times I cleaned the screen(s) or the tip. Am enjoying the new one, and am going to make a concerted effort not to lose it. I put the other one in a safe place that more than likely will forget.

Stylus has a good quality compared to others with similar functionality. Works across android and Apple products. Doesn’t have the advance technology you’d want, such as pressure sensitivity. But if you’re lookig for just a basic stylus, this one has a good price point. No pun intended.

I love the feel of these, but the carbon fiber nub wears out well short of expectations. I ordered it on November 30th and the tip has almost worn out. Granted, I have the SwiftKey keyboard installed on my G8+ and use it constantly, but I don't put a lot of pressure on it. I called the company and they said life expectancy was about 5 to 6 months. I have less than one month on the clock, and really should replace the nub, but I'm curious to see how long it takes for it to be completely unusable. Trying to write with it is nearly impossible because it is too broad a tip. Also will not work on my Lenovo Yoga 720 touch screen. While I like the feel, it's usefulness and lifespan are below expectations.

As a math teacher trying to come up with an effective online teaching method during Covid-19, I endorse this stylus! I was using a cheap stylus that came on the back of a free pen to create iPad notes for my students, but I decided to give this stylus a try and it makes such a difference. It is very responsive and lightweight. The tip is rounded, so if you're using it for precise things like photoshop it may not be fitting but as far as writing and drawing shapes on a screen goes, it's fantastic. My 3-D figures are legible because of it! I actually look forward to recording each lesson now because of how much easier it makes the whole process.

Although this doesn't replace my wacom pen/tablet for graphic work, this is a great pen for touch monitors and medium sized tablets. I was surprised how well it could handle fast writing and drawing.

Woeks better on my phone and other touch screen systems than it does on my laptop (which is what I originally purchased it for)

This is easy to use and works well with the iPad pro. It’s just not an Apple Pencil. Those are way too expensive.

Depending on what your using it on its a good item. Some devices you may need a little more pressure.

I'm using this stylus for my IPad too keep from having so many finger prints. At time, I have to press hard. I had to replace the nib, which the threads came apart when I tried to clean up the little threads you see fro usage, otherwise it is good to go.

Works well. May take time getting adjusted to but operates as described

I love how easily this bamboo stylus slides across the tablet screen. The only downside to this stylus is that the tip unscrews easily and you need to keep tightening it.

Great option in lieu of Apple pen for me at significant cost savings! Just needed something to write notes and some basic application functions. Didn't need everything the Apple pen does and very happy with the result. I'm using it on an iPad Pro 10.7" model and it works great.

I researched different stylus for my iPad. I didn’t know which one would work best for me, but the bamboo solo was a perfect fit!

I use this pen for my older model i pad and its great very easy to use, i use it for note taking in college and its pretty good.

I love it! It works great with my iPad. I also like the cap. It reminds me of a pen that I can put in my pocket.

The stylus works 95% of the time. My main observation is that it makes a high frequency squeak as it slides across the surface of my tablet. Sometimes it drives me a bit nutty.

This is a great pen to use on any laptop. I even use it on my phone from time to time. It is very light weight. If I had to change anything, I would want it to have more of a point at the end like a real pencil or pen. Overall, this was a good buy.
