    Really Nice Pen

    This pen was instantly recognized on my Dell Tablet running Windows 8.1. It was nice to find some of the software, such as Microsoft Word automatically add pen functions when opening up the software with the pen near the tablet. I did not have to manually load any drivers for this pen. It does take a little getting used to, but the cost of this pen was worth it. It I tried it in the store before buying because some pen don't work with certain touch screens. e.g. my phone screen does not recognize the pen.

    Got this to replace my Dell 750 stylus that randomly stopped working. I prefer the sensitivity of the Dell, but this one actually works so there’s that.

    This device works as advertised. However, I have not found many situations in which I use the device or where using the device would confer a benefit.

    The Stylus is a bit lagging so you see the line a bit after drawing. I found this quite annoying. the pressure response for line thickness is good. I found that the Dell Stylus works on the HP Spectre and it is both cheaper and more responsive.

    A bit bulky but writes well. Had a hard time getting it to recognize with my computer. Finally after it did, it works every time.

    The idea is great however I find it difficult to hold, as it keeps slipping when you are trying to use the buttons, it should have a rubber grip section. The pen it self is great and it makes marking up document in word easy ( saves printing them out) so I may try and find a grip that will fit.

    Great pen with one annoying feature

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The pen itself writes very well and had no issues, but the pen will only sync with the computer if its within 10mm. If it farther than 10mm, then the pen will desync and revert back to being able to be touched with your fingers. Bring the pen back within the distance will cause it to sync up and be used again, but this process takes a couple seconds, which makes it difficult to write when you're constantly moving your hand.

    Good product if you are writing notes or sketching. Do not spend the money if you just plan to use it for basic app use and touch selection. Not worth that much money for such a basic use. Sometimes I have an iffy time getting it to pick up properly, but overall a decent product.

    It has no trouble working with windows 10 although ive never never used a pen so im not sure what I should expect from it. My biggest concen was that it wouldnt work and it does. It takes time to get used to it, but for basic sketching and doodling, writing notes... Its ok.

    I'm just a little jealous this stylus really didn't make life any better with my HP Spectre. It's cool to have but didn't deliver the superior quality I expected. Oh, and by the way it doesn't work on my iPad Air 2.

    The HP Active Stylus works reasonably well (depending on your specific use) but it does require a fair amount of pressure to compress the tip and allow it to function. This creates thick lines instead of finer lines which are needed in taking hand written notes, as an example. There are other/better options to consider.

    I find the tool to be cumbersome and not like a pen feeling. Doesn't always act the way I want it. But it could be because I'm still used to the mouse and keyboard. Haven't really used the tablet aspect of it, so it might actually be better than I rate it because of the tablet aspect.

    This pen works as expected but I wish it had a clip to hold in in my pocket. It is supposed to attach to a laptop through magnetism but my new laptop has an all aluminum jacket so there is no way to secure it except in my pocket.
