IT not good as it should be but can not blame for 35

Tip too slippery................................. M

only for amazon fire tablets ivew triewd it on almost everything else

Item works well but is pricy. That's why I rated it 3 stars.

The Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet is Amazon's largest tablet, and a step up in the overall quality of the Fire tablet line. Because of it's 11 inch size, it is now at a point where other tools can be quite useful with it, in this case a stylus. The stylus is of good quality, not cheap feeling at all. It has a little bit of weight to it, especially with the battery, which I find makes it easier to feel as though you have good control of it. Using the stylus was not as great of an experience to me. I am accustomed to the Apple Pencil on my iPad, so this probably sets my expectations a little high. I didn't feel like this was a problem with the stylus itself, but rather the Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet and software. My biggest problem was how often my palm would interfere with the app when trying to use it, including causing a "swipe up" motion that would trigger the bottom toolbar where I can all too easily exit the app. In full-screen drawing apps that accept input from my fingers, I would make marks with my palm while trying to place my hand where I wanted to draw. I am not an artist and I generally just use a stylus to doodle or when using a coloring app. I also use it as a pointing device (going back to the old Palm device days), or for jotting a quick note or signing a digital document with my signature. However, I do work with creative apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity Photo, and Affinity Designer), so I find a stylus helps me have better control over detailed editing, and I use a Wacom tablet for these situations on my computer, and am accustomed to doing this on a tablet. The first time you use the stylus, the tablet will give you a tutorial about handwriting. However, it failed to cover a lot of techniques, and as a less experienced stylus user, I was left trying to figure out how to put a period at the end of a sentence and add a space where I needed one. The handwriting recognition was impressive however, and I also downloaded one of the suggested apps for artwork and was impressed with the accuracy and flexibility that the stylus had. Be aware, however, that the stylus uses a replaceable (not rechargeable) AAAA battery, so not something you are likely to have sitting around the house. It is supposed to last months with normal use. It also comes with an extra tip and a tool to help you remove it. The stylus is designed to be stored magnetically to the side of the Fire Max 11 tablet. As both the tablet and the stylus have a magnet, this makes for a very strong connection, but even with that, it can be easily knocked off it gets caught on something. There is also a button on the side of stylus. This is introduced in the software tutorial as a means to "backspace" when using the handwriting feature - it deletes out the character to the left of the cursor. I suspect this button can be used for other applications as well, but as such, you need to hold it according to your need to access it in order to avoid pressing it unintentionally. Overall, I rate the stylus as very good, but I think it's performance is a bit limited by the software experience on the Fire Max 11 device. This is something that can be improved on to make the stylus a much better experience.

I was excited that Amazons cheapo tablets had added support for a dedicated stylus, but it doesn’t cut the mustard.

pen does not work. i have to go to all the trouble of returning it. while i am fighting for my refund on a tablet order that was cancelled for delivery.

Works great when it works, but randomly disconnects at inconvenient times. Tried it with a new battery and the problem persists.

It uses (2) AAAA batteries. I could not have it recognized by my Fire 10 HD. I was told that it was compatible so I gave up and returned it.

This stylus pen for the Amazon Fire tablet is a fun an useful accessory. From doing fun little doodles to signing a document, I have enjoyed using the stylus pen with my Fire Max tablet. The stylus uses a replaceable AAA battery, which can be good, unless you are out and can’t get to the store for a replacement. (You can always use the Fire Max tablet to order more at Amazon.) So far several hours in and I haven’t needed to swap batteries out as of yet. Once I put the battery in the device, my Fire Max tablet saw the stylus right away and walked me through a quick tutorial process on how to use it with the tablet. I found that to be so helpful! The stylus uses a magnetic connection to the Fire Max tablet to help with storing it when not in use. (I personally find the magnet isn’t too strong and I routinely knock the stylus off the tablet.) This stylus is quite nice and sleek looking on the side of the Fire Max tablet. It has enough weight to it when writing it feel natural and not cumbersome at all to use. I am not any type of artist, however I do find the stylus to be responsive enough for my small general usage. I think this stylus is a good addition to your Fire Max tablet!

Was tol by employee this would work on hp laptop it did not

The stylus includes - stylus, AAAA battery, Extra stylus point, pinch clip to remove the stylus tip for replacement, and 3 cards in different languages, with one being English. The cards only show how to install the battery and how to change the tip using the pinch clip. The stylus battery should last about 6 months. There is a button on the stylus that supposedly turns the stylus on, but it doesn’t turn it off. The stylus is supposed to turn itself off after a certain time. However, since there is no” users” manual, there is no actual time specified. The Fire Max 11 tablet automatically recognizes the stylus without having to pair it. The stylus is comfortable and easy to use. The stylus allows you to take notes directly into a text box and the Fire Max 11 will automatically convert it to text. It can also be used for drawing, emails, OneNote and other compatible apps (for writing). With the exception of the useless button, the stylus is very comfortable, easy to use. I recommend the stylus for its ease of use and comfort.

Bought thus pen thinking it would work on my tablet didnt work

This stylus pen for the Amazon Fire Max 11 is certainly fine as digital pens go. The major problem is with the device that it is meant to be used with--the Amazon Fire Max 11. That tablet is fine for content consumption purposes--indeed, it's probably the best tablet Amazon has made for those purposes. But the Amazon app store is pretty sparse and you may find a dearth of productivity apps you'd want to use the pen with. It's hardly integral to the experience of using the tablet, though it's nice to have. The pen is easy to use and set up, however, with no Bluetooth pairing required. Like many other such devices, it's powered by a single AAAA battery that's rated to last about 6 months. Other than placing the battery in, that's all the setup required. The pen comes with a replacement tip and a tool to assist changing it out, so make sure not to overlook those in the packaging. The pen attaches to the tablet magnetically, which is convenient, but I prefer the ability to physically attach the pen for storage whenever possible. The bottom line is that much like the tablet it's paired with, it's good hardware engineering held back by software. Mind you, there's nothing wrong with the pen itself--it works very well! I'm just not sold on the idea of the Fire Max 11 as a productivity tablet, and so the pen's value depends largely upon whether the narrow usefulness of that tablet (for productivity purposes) fits your needs. If it does, by all means get the pen. But if you're buying the Fire Max 11 to watch, listen, and read, you can skip this without difficulty.

After many years of using the competition, I had the opportunity to experience the current generation Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet and the stylus pen accessory. One of the first things I noticed out of the box is that the product feels solid and well made, unlike many third party pens I’ve used in the past. Setup was very simple - all I had to do is put the included battery in and the pen was ready to go into service. It also conveniently magnetizes to the side of the Fire Max 11 and stays pretty well attached. The stylus pen works beautifully with the apps included on the table, even so much as to be able to write directly into the search bar and find websites. It also has multiple levels of pressure sensitivity in case you’re artistic and want to get into the more creative side of things. In practical use, I found the stylus to be a great addition to the Fire Max when taking notes at work. The handwriting recognition on the tablet works very well for with the pen so I seldom found myself having to make corrections. Crossing out the text with the pen makes it erase, which makes it quite intuitive when you’re trying to keep up in a meeting. After a short time i didn’t even have to think about how I was using it. All in all a great accessory and one I’d recommend if you want to get the most use out of your Fire.

This is a basic pen that does the job. The first noticeable feature is its size. This pen could be much thinner and streamlined. It also as far as these style pens go, it has noticeable weight to it. It is responsive and once you add the AA battery (which is included) it immediately synchronized with the tablet. The pen also magnetically connects to the tablet which is convenient but again, just a bit bulky. It does come with an extra tip and a small tool to remove the old. Had no issues with writing on the fire tablet and the flow rate was smooth and responsive. This is a decent pen for use on a medium level tablet so in terms of comparisons, the stylus meets and exceeds its usefulness as it relates to the Fire Max 11 which is what this stylus came bundled with. There is no pen slot on the Amazon case/keyboard, so remember it magnetically connects to the side of the tablet. In closing, while i wish it were thinner and more sleek, it does the job and I would recommend this as an accessory that would compliment the Fire Max 11

I got this to use with my Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet. And overall it works just as I would expect. It runs on a small AAAA battery. Yes that is 4 "A"s" I have never seen one before so I wonder where I will get one in the future when it needs replacing. The color of the pen matches the case and design of the tablet which is nice. There is one flat side of the stylus which allows you magnetically connect the stylus to the tablet when not in use. I find the connection here a little less than secure. it is easily dislodged, I wish it was more secure or had a loop to help keep it in place. I feel like I am going to lose it when carrying the tablet around or just moving the tablet from place to place. However the function of the stylus is nice and works well. I find it easy to use, to write, to erase text to draw etc.... I definitely recommend getting the bundle of the tablet, case and stylus. I just would liek to see a more secure option for the stylus when not in use. Way to go Amazon.

If you have an Amazon Fire Max 11 table and you want to get more out of it, the Stylus Pen accessory is a great addition. It has many great features to enhance the Fire Max 11. Setting up is easy as can be with the stylus. Once you remove it from the box, you must install the included AAAA battery, and that is it. There is no pairing required to use the stylus. It is ready to go. Functionality is great with this pen. You can use it to maneuver around the screen and into different applications. The pinpoint control is excellent and there is no ambiguity in pointing. The tablet tracks the stylus perfectly. When not needed, you can just attach the stylus pen to the side of the tablet. The tablet magnetically holds the pen in place until you need it again. The nice part about the stylus pen is found when you want to use it like a pen. As back to school rolls around, many documents are online that require a signature. Trying to do those with a computer and a mouse is a headache. With this stylus pen, I could pull up documents in the browser and sign from there. The signature actually looked like a signature. You can also use it to make markups on documents or PDFs. Drawing is also very nice and clean using this stylus pen. The stylus pen can actuate your creativity. In conclusion, I really like the stylus pen for the Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet. While you may not need the stylus to maneuver around the screen (your finger will work for that), it is a must if you want to write or draw on your tablet. The only negative is the somewhat unusual battery size that will need to be replaced from time to time, but this is a minor nit compared to the benefits of the stylus. I highly recommend this accessory for the Fire Max 11.

Works With Chromebooks! I was able to try this pen that says it's for Amazon Fire Max tablet on the box, but on the back it has the USI logo, which is the same standard Chromebooks have. Tried on the Lenovo Duet 3, 5, Asus 16" with 12th Gen i3, Acer Spin 714... it worked with EVERY single one! Means this pen is USI 2.0 so it's the PERFECT pen to buy with a compatible Chromebook too! Much cheaper than the previous Targus one that was $60 they removed

I got the stylus, keyboard case and Fire Max 11 as a package deal. This review is on the stylus only. It is handy to use with the Fire Max 11" tablet, but it only seems to work with the Fire Max. not get it to work on any other stylus devices. There are no instructions with the stylus, however there is a tutorial on the tablet that shows you some of the basic functions on the stylus. It has a good feeling in the hand and I have used it with the sketch guru app. and it does offer a lot of functionality with the tablet. I have not been able to use it with notepad or any other apps. so to me it is not really a necessary accessory but it is nice to use as just a stylus when using the tablet. It is very responsive. It comes with 1 spare tip and a AAAA battery. Not sure how long battery life is. AAAA batteries are available at a reasonable price but I am not sure how long it will take me to use a 4 pack of them up as this is the only device I own that has AAAA batteries. It does attach to the side of the tablet with a magnet and stays on fairly well, but it will come off if jostled. Overall if you are a big stylus user I would recommend it, but it is not necessary in my opinion to have with the tablet
