I got this to use with my dell inspiron 14 and it’s the best decision I could have made! It works wonders and it is really making my life and studying for school way better!
I use the hard tip with it and do all my notes on one note, the windows pen feature and the hard tip makes it feel as if it was an apple pencil; the top and button is customizable and it is very good to have for shortcuts.
The battery lasts a lot, I bought this on january and I have only had to charge it once (other than the first charge) so the battery lasts around 3 to 4 weeks depending on how much you use it. Would definitely buy again!

Open-box Pen for Designers

This pen works great with my Lenovo Yoga 7 laptop. The pen protocols make it challenging to find the correct pen that will work with specific devices, with the multiple configurations from this pen, plus a user focus on designers/drawers/artists along with an additional set of nubs/pen tips decided to give this pen a try. Went with an open box in excellent condition for half price of the new pen, especially if it didn't work with my computer. So far this pen works great! It can be recharged via USB, I stead of needing off replaceable batteries, comes with replaceable nibs in a case with a built-in remover tool for quick changes which is much appreciated as some pens don't come with or sell replacement nibs. Found out my computer doesn't support AES 2.0 with pen tilt functionality, but otherwise this pen is great, it feels comfortable in the hand while writing and drawing and has a good style and design that is professional and is versatile for many different styles and situations. Happy with this pen and highly recommend, especially if looking to design/draw with A windows laptop/tablet.

Love this pen. I got it to use with my ProArt Studiobook and it's amazing. Super-accurate, nice weight, and with this laptop both on the screen and mousepad.

Honestly, for the price I did not think that this pen would work as well as it does on my Google pixel tablet. I was pleasantly surprised with its accuracy and low latency as well as its smoothness. I was disappointed that my Google pixel tablet did not come with a pen. It definitely became the best add-ons purchase to my tablet. I would highly recommend this pen with any device that supports USI 2.0 styluses.

Nibs Not Well Made

I was excited to try out this stylus as it has great reviews from customers and tech sites. I was going to test out each of the nibs, however the tiniest piece broke off and is stuck inside the stylus, with no way to remove it. I spoke with Wacom customer support and it is not considered a defect and not covered under warranty. Until Wacom decides to make the nibs with a stronger and thicker material, I would not recommend.

Great Pen for a Variety of Uses
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The pen itself is very nice. It has a nice weight but could be considered on the lighter side. It has a triangular shape and matte finish which makes it easier and more comfortable to hold.The different tips included along with a charging cord are very useful. The instructions on how to set it up and troubleshoot any connection issues coyld use some work but that's nothing against Best Buy.i bought it as a back up for my other Bamboo stylus(silver in picture) and I prefer this one over the silver.

This is a great pen, works well, rechargeable, and comes with multiple types of nibs for different feels. Charges pretty quickly and lasts quite a while. Has a good weight to it, feels solid. Pressure sensitive, and apparently is has tilt support but my laptop does not have that feature. On Wacom's website it there is a list of compatible laptops, mine wasn't on the list, but still works great. One thing to note, it does need to be turned on and off. You do this by holding the button closest to the nib. When the light blinks three times, its on. And when its one long fading light, its off. When it charges it turns itself on, so make sure when you unplug it and put it away you turn it off. I had unplugged it, put it away and went to bed only to fin in the morning that the battery was nearly dead. So be aware of that. That's the only negative I've experienced though.

Works with Dell inspiron 15 7000 7586 touchscreen 2 in 1 (with screen protector on it). I have a dell pen but it's rough to find those crazy AAAA batteries, I much prefer a rechargeable pen. It also comes with a set of nibs which are hopefully easy to get your hands on if you need more. Out of the box I had to do the button press to change the mode now it works. Pen has a button on top to open windows ink apps which don't seem to be on this laptop wonder if that's an extra purchase? Or maybe the button has to be enabled someplace on this laptop. They chose to put a usb C plug on this pen hurray as I already have a c port on this laptop and longer cables. I haven't played with it a lot yet stock nib seems to skip a lot probably need one of the others i draw like a three year old so can't really say much about all that either.

(1) Battery life is awesome (2+ school days is normal, sometimes the entire week depending on use)
(2) You can use it while charging
(3) Multiple tips for different device types (e.g. my smooth glass HP X360 Envy)
(4) Works without special software
(5) Works with captive/passive touch devices (need to switch modes manually with a 2 button press)
Just make sure you charge it before you go to work/school... using it with the charging cable isn't ideal.
I bought a 2nd one because I can plug one in when the one I'm using is low on battery... and it's charged before the one that's low goes dead.

Rechargeable battery, multiple tips, and ≈4000 pressure sensitivity are what make this pen fantastic. Also great quality, it won’t roll around because of its shape and It also has magnets on the side. Performance is only as good has your laptop or surface pro can process. I’ve noticed it glitches a little directly in the middle of my screen sometimes but I can typically fix it by rotating the pen. Wish it had an eraser on the end but all the buttons can be programmed so I’m not worried. I recommend.

Good pen. Just make sure your laptop is compatible as there are some that may not be. However if it is, it’s good stuff. some third party programs may act a bit laggy depending of what you have, but works as intended.

I like how the more pressure you add the thicker the line will get. Good for taking notes. Sometimes I could not figure out how to turn it on but I am pretty sure that is because I did not charge it.

An Open Box Deal

I got this Product open box and at first, I was not too fond of it because it seemed to stutter when writing, however, I realized that the way it writes is based on the pen tip you put in. While it's not the greatest stylus of all time for $50 it's a much better option than the battery-operated version or the more expensive Microsoft Surface Pen. If you are paying full price just get the Surface Pen it's better for the same price.

Bamboo Ink Plus is nothing but quality!
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I ordered my Bamboo Ink Plus and received my order quite promptly wich was very helpful! The packaging is very sturdy and has a great design. The stylus pen comes with a very high quality tip, or "nub" box to change the feel of the pen in the screen. It there is also a charger included in the box! The pen itself has a very clean design and feels great in the hand. I needed this for a design class and it pairs great with my HP Envy that I also bought from Best Buy. The pen allows for compatibility with so many different design and note taking apps and more. So far it has been a great tool for college and well is above my expectations of what I need. Ordering online and in person from Best Buy is a great experience. 10/10, would recommend.

Great Drawing Performance, Mediocre Design

Tilt and pressure sensitivity are great with this pen when using on a non-Surface device (Asus Flow X13 2022). Tilt and pressure have a gradient when compared to the Surface Pen and Raphael 530C.
The soft matte plastic feel of the pen doesn't feel as nice as the Surface Pen, and I wish it had an eraser on the back. I also dislike that the pen turns on by holding the primary button. Since the pen doesn't have any magnets, it gets stored in slots and other odd places and somehow turns on and discharges the battery. I think it should turn on by being pressed from the top/eraser nub (if it had one!). A 2nd button would also be appreciated.
The pen clip isn't too useful as you want to store this with the computer.
It doesnt quite have the papery feel that the Surface Pen does on glass--it's more slick which is not my preference.
