Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazon's new Fire HD 11 is a solid, but budget, tablet. For the money it is an excellent purchase with great capabilities. To add to that, Amazon has released a Stylus Pen to give it an additional capability that really can help make this a really interesting buy for those who just can't spend a large amount of money for a capable tablet. The stylus is about the size and thickness as a competitor's pencil. Being about three and a half inches long, and pretty thick, it has a really good feel to it. It is dark grey to match the tablet and a somewhat slick feel to it. The nub (where it touches the tablet) is hard plastic that gives a great feeling that you are actually writing on paper. Response time with the screen of the tablet is very good. It has a button near the end of the stylus that can be assigned different actions with the tablet. The most used so far is using it to select words or rows of words. The stylus also magnetically attaches to the side (if the keyboard isn't attached) and the top. The biggest difference than other stylus pens out there, the Amazon stylus pen is powered by a AAA battery. Attaching it to the tablet provides no charge or power. Is it going to equal the feel of fruity competitors pens, obviously not; is it capable and adds functionality to a great overall (not wallet busting) tablet, absolutely! If you have or want to buy the Amazon Fire HD 11, the Stylus Pen is a very good and capable addition.

This Stylus Pen for the Amazon Fire Max 11 is a high-quality product that adds some nice functionality to the latest Amazon tablet. The stylus was made for Amazon by the Maxeye company, which also makes styli for Microsoft Surface tablets and other devices. Unfortunately, there is no cross-compatibility here; this stylus only works with Fire Max 11. The stylus comes with a replaceable nib, a nib pulling tool, and a AAAA battery. Installation of the battery is quite simple and the stylus works immediately with the tablet. There is one magnet in the stylus, near the back end, which quite strongly grips onto the left side of the Fire Max tablet with the tip either pointed up or down. The placement here is fine, but it's on the left side (whereas the power and volume buttons are on the right), meaning righthanded people will have to reach over to the left side to grab the stylus, or do an awkward hand-to-hand shuffle movement to get the stylus into their dominant hand. There is no eraser function to be found by turning the stylus upside-down toward the screen, and the uses for the button on the stylus are also few and far between. I have used several sketchbook-style apps and not found one that takes advantage of the button. All-in-all, I'm quite pleased with the Max 11's stylus experience, but I do wish there was a bit more functionality.

I am generally not fond of digital pens. This pen was no worse than others I have used. It seemed responsive and comfortable to use. Nothing that stood out negatively. In this application with an Amazon tablet, I fail to see the need nor the reason why you'd have a digital pen. What am I going to use it for? Tried as I might, I didn't see anything that would require the use of the pen that I couldn't do with a finger. The screen is large enough to make the pen something I would not even think about using even as it clings magnetically to the side of the tablet/cover. The rub here with the Amazon tablet and those applicable to the pen is that there is a limited use case for either. The echo system is not one that allows a great application availability in the "store" from which to choose. And if there were things that a pen might work, because it is more difficult (or impossible) to share with a windows laptop or with an android phone, work done here is really work kept here and of little availability. Good enough pen. Limited use.

It worked great and was very easy to carry. The pickup was easy and very user friendly, the customer service was friendly and very knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend.

Good to have but you can live with out it. But if you buy this tablet Fire Max 11 and key board cover you should buy the pin.

It's a pen for the new fire. works fine It's just for the new fire

supposed to be USI 2.0 compatible - wanted to use it on my pixel 8 pro. took it out of the box and inserted the battery per the instructions on diagram. nothing...does not work on my pixel 8 pro. would not recommend and would definitely not purchase again. unfortunately don't think i can return it. not worth $35.
