Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wacom has not disappointed with this pen! I love the added functionality it gives to my laptop (HP Envy x360). I love using it for taking notes at work, marking up photos, etc. The pen makes my interaction with my PC so much more fluid and natural. The pen supports all modes of the Windows Ink feature and I employ them all, it's fun to use! There are other, cheaper pens, that aren't as featured as this one so I'm glad I got this one! I would highly recommend it!!

Honestly, It worked really well with my surface pro 3 after the surface pen stopped working. At the time, the price was $70...I only justified it because I take all my notes on my surface instead of buying several notebooks. The nib of the pen is FRAGILE!!! I take care of all my devices, but this pen fell tip first, breaking in half. There's no way of getting out the broken piece inside the pen. I would not spend another $70 on this pen again. Honestly, I don't think I would pay the $40 current price. If it wasn't for that one incident, I would recommend 10 out of 10.

The pen is wonderful let's me draw online its a great product

I am a graphic designer and I have been into art my whole life. This is as close as I've come to the feel of drawing on paper. It registers where you want it to and the palm rejection is flawless. I can put my hand on the screen and draw on it like its paper. It feels nice too. I wanted a set up like this for years. I highly recommend it with a windows ink tablet or laptop. Make sure it works with your specific laptop and enjoy.

I'm a Computer Science student, and bought this pen to use on my HP Spectre 15in 2in1 to replace having to use a whiteboard to figure out portions of code, along to use with class notes and homework. Pros: -Good battery life -Feels solid and well built, with good weight. (Other than top button, see below) - Feels great writing on the screen. (Biggest reason it's not a 1 star review.) Cons: - The top button continuously breaks or becomes super flimsy and unresponsive. The button that has all of your quick options like screen capture, quick note, and drawing. It does this without much use at all and at random. It can even start doing that from carrying it in a backpack. - The pen tip nub replacement is absurd. The pen nub carrier it comes with is pretty cool, but the way you use it to remove the pen tip seems mediocre like you are going to damage the pen. I just would stick with the tip that comes on it or you may have issues. If they went with the Samsung style nub remover for their Note Spen that would work much better. - Awkward battery type AAAA. But, it has great battery life. - Sometimes cuts out (could be computers issue though, I don't think windows ink is very error prone yet.) I'm not the only person with these issues, my professor used his for his lecture notes and that's how I found about about this pen. His top piece broke off so many times he stopped taking it back. For $70.00 you'd think they could make something that vulnerable to damage a little stronger. I would still suggest this pen, just be extremely careful about where you place the pen. Maybe if they came out with a hard case you could put the pen in so it wouldn't get damaged just transporting it that could help.

I've been searching and I've finally found the stylus that works great with digital artworks. It's great with precise details and it's not difficult to work with either!

I am a college student and decided to splurge to have a great laptop (irrelevant) and thus needed a great pen to pair with my touchscreen. I decided it was worth it to splurge on a good quality pen, that would last me a while. $70 for a pen, has to be great right? Wrong apparently. Less than a month later (and after Best Buy's 15 day return policy), my laptop starts opening the gallery (the one that opens when you use the button on top of the pen) randomly and repeatedly. I then noticed the button on the top of my pen is slanted, making it somehow go off repetitively. 70$ down the drain for this pen.... The button will not go back into place, and if it does will slowly slant back again. This pen is now useless for the most part....

Have being using it now for a year and I am so glad I bought it. So many features...still learning...super non-techy, very simple to use.

This pens works great for writing or drawing. I use it for taking notes and digitizing photos for machine embroidery.

Great pen. Would recommend. It worked out really good.

This tool is a great tool to do something different with your computer.

Like anything else, it just takes time to learn and get comfortable with.

Very good when drawing and very responsive to the clicks.

The pen looks very professional. The instructions and description is very well explained and easy to put into action.

Awesome product to help with my homework and also when I'm doodling on my sketch app.

It did not work with my laptop. Was told that it would. Was really hoping it did. Wish HP would make one compatible. Without one, really can utilize some of the features of inkspace the way I would like too.

I'm currently using the pen with my new Surface Pro (2017) and I'm quite impressed with it's performance. Lag is minimal and it performs smoothly while sketching and taking notes in MS OneNote. I'm no veteran at using stylus pens but there are some cons I think are worth noting. Naturally I want to flip the pen over to use the eraser which is a feature of the Surface Pen but it didn't take long to adjust. (I have a new Surface Pen (2017) but I haven't taken it out of the box yet. I wanted to give the Bamboo and through chance before committing to the more expensive option.) Using the erase function is a little awkward having to search and hold the button on the side. It's a little further back on the pen and in an unnatural place for me. I tend to spin the pen in my hand thus losing the orientation of the button as I write and I often times find myself searching for the button each time I need to erase. It's just easier to use the onscreen eraser option which defeats the purpose of the button. The button at the end of the pen where an eraser would normally be is a little odd feeling and seemingly flimsy. It's held up well but sometimes its difficult to tell if I've applied enough pressure to activate the pen tools menu on the Surface Pro. On the other end, the tip glides nicely and having extra tips is great bonus for this price. There is some travel on the tip when pressing down on the stylus that takes some getting used. This rarely affects its performance but sometimes when I need to make the lightest pen stroke, it doesn't register on screen. I can see and feel the pen coming in contact with the screen but nothing happens. I did experience a short battery life in my opinion. Again I'm not that experienced in using this type of stylus so I have nothing to compare to but 3 weeks of light use does seems short. Overall, I think this is a 5 star pen at this price and even more so when you can get it on sale as I did. I believe the minor cons as I mentioned warrant a deduction of 1/2 rather than a full 1 star. If your looking for a stylus for light use and something you're not afraid to let your young kids use, this is the perfect stylus! I think professional or heavy users will rather look at the newer MS Surface Pro Pen (2017) which share very similar specs.

I bought this along side my HP x360 because Best Buy recommended it but it isn't 100% compatible. It works for the most part in Photoshop but my sculpting program 3D-Coat has no pressure sensitivity with it. Wacom has a driver on the website but the driver is not compatible with my laptop.

The only reason I gave the Wacom Pen a 4 Star rating is getting use to utilizing it properly on different applications can be frustrating, but worth the time to get it working correctly is well worth the price difference of the other Pens out there.. Plus, the Pen doesn't attach to my Surface Pro. So after a long time trying to figure out why my new 2018 Microsoft Pen's cursor kept displacing itself on contact I found out it was the way the pen handles tilt, which can cause trailing from the original point of contact to the tilt-corrected location with some programs such as Paint Tool SAI2. It took a little setting up to work with my Surface Pro 4 but it works wonderfully, I no longer have the displacing cursor issue. Upsides: Works great with Paint Tool SAI2 and is pretty good for drawing. Downsides: Doesn't clip to the device, takes a AAAA battery, not as pretty as the Microsoft Pen.

I'm going to break this review down into the groups of people I'd highly recommend this to: (1) If you just bought the 2017 Surface Pro, I would give this pen some heavy consideration before you buy the Surface Pen. I tested this pen with the Surface Pro I bought. For $30 less, this pen is so smooth, glides like butter across the screen. The Surface Pen has the "tilt" feature and double the levels of pressure, but honestly I think the tilt feature is just a novelty and you will not notice the difference in pressure levels. What you will notice, though, is that the Bamboo Ink pen is just a hair less laggy than the Surface Pen. The Surface Pen has come a long way in terms of reducing latency, but for $30 less, it's hard to argue against the Bamboo Ink except in two areas – first, the Bamboo Ink pen will not stick to the side of your Surface like the Surface Pen will. The Bamboo Ink pen also doesn't have an eraser at the tip (instead you'll have to press a button on the side to erase). If those are dealbreakers for you (understandable, especially the eraser part), go for the Surface Pen. But if saving a bit of cash while still having a phenomenal, smooth experience interests you, you honestly can't go wrong with Bamboo Ink. (2) If you have a Surface Pro 4, Surface Book, or Surface 3 device, and you've lost your pen or want to upgrade your pen, this is the one for you. I tested this pen with a Surface Book. Again, this pen doesn't have an eraser at the end, nor can you stick it to the side of your device magnetically, but this is a solid pen here. This is a miles quicker than pen that you're probably used to, the one that's supposed to come with these devices. Lag is noticeably reduced. This is just a wonderful pen. (3) Finally, if you have any other device that can take advantage of Wacom pens, you need to shoot for this one here. I tested the Bamboo Ink pen with a 2017 HP Spectre 13'' 4k and the 15'' variant, and wow! Seeing your own handwriting in 4k is already amazing, but on these devices, it's just like pen to paper. It's hard to put into words how great it was. Buttery smooth. Accurate. Beautiful. I'm definitely a fan of the Bamboo Ink with devices in this category. This is so much better than the included pen HP gives you, just fyi. More comfortable too. Excellent product!
