This is my first pen like this and it works perfectly as described. The connection process was simple, there is little to no lag when in use, and the pen fits comfortably in the hand. However, the top cap is very wobbly and constantly feels like it is two seconds away from breaking off.

This is very user friendly, although it did take a little getting used to because of the triangular shape of the barrel and the buttons being where I normally hold a pen. I loved it because I didn't have a lot of set up to be able to use it and I didn't have to press hard like I was expecting to. I used with my hp envy x360 and it works great for using in tablet mode as a stylus and writing on screen as well.

This device is a blast to use. I enjoy the ease of use and general features, only real negatives are the nib holder and how easy it can be to lose. The other issue is the connectivity is not as smooth as I would hope from the company.

Pricey, but works for my HP Envy x360 Convertible

It's pretty difficult to determine which computers the various stylus pens on the market work with. I wasn't sure, because I kept seeing conflicting information, but I can now confirm this pen works on the HP Envy x360 convertible model #15M-CN0011DX.
The pen was easy to setup, paired easily with the computer, and the top button successfully launches Windows Ink. I had to hold the buttons on the side of the pen down for 2 seconds a couple of times like the instructions say to get it to work, but eventually I did get it to work. The pen writes smoothly and is pressure sensitive. I love it, and glad I bought it.

This is a great stylus for a great price. Works excellent with my new laptop. Works wonders in my drawing and technical drafts. Would recommend to anyone needing a stylus for other than normal keyboard inputs.

I bought this pen after much deliberation and trial. I have a Windows 10 , 2 in 1 from HP and wanted to take advantage of the touch screen and tablet capabilities. This pen works well with Windows ink however I had some trouble getting it linked up. I’m guessing my phone and iPad were interfering with properly pairing via Bluetooth. I turned the Bluetooth off on both to pair the pen to my laptop and I have had no trouble since. (May not have been the issue). The shortcut button works well but has rare glitches. (apps not opening). The battery life is pretty good. I used it for about a week pretty heavily with the supplied battery before needing replacement. The AAAA batteries are not at regular stores and you will need to go to a
Best Buy or specialty battery store. I would give this a 5 star rating if batteries lasted longer and were easier to buy. This pen will not work with Apple products.

Originally told by reps at Minnetonka store in MN that my new HP Spectre Gen 8 computer came with the appropriate pen as was on the demo floor model. When it arrived a few days later, NO PEN. Called Minnetonka store, computer manager sent me the "appropriate" stylus for this particular computer. Once it arrived I tried for 2 days to make them work, including downloading new drivers for a brand new computer. Took stylus and new HP Spectre computer to Geek squad in Duluth, MN. Found an expert in the computer department who laughed and seemed frustrated as I was. She traded me for this Bamboo stylus, and it WORKS!!
Thank you!!

I bought this smart stylus for my son to use with his new ink computer. He loves it. It is easy to use and writes extremely clearly. The fact that you can just click and use makes it really convenient. I was hesitant to spend this kind of money on a stylus but it is worth every penny

I bought this Surface laptop for my husband. He dislikes sitting at the regular computer. I chose it for the lightness, the accessibility, and ease of use. So far, so good. I got the stylus and the mouse, and he has used them both to great delight. I may have to get one as well.

Easy to use, works well with my Lenovo Yoga 720. Skips a bit when handwriting notes in OneNote, but hard to tell which is really an issue, the pen, the screen or the app. Overall I'm happy with it. Wish there was a way to turn it off without having to twist the top part, though.

The Ink works fairly well with my HP Envy 360 with Windows Ink but keeps losing the pairing. I went through two of them and then decided I did not need Windows Ink enough to justify the hassle of re-pairing constantly. Add this to the fact it has an odd ball battery , not rechargeable and the fact that the nibs need replacement sometimes and it is not worth it for me to circle stuff and draw stick people. Hey you can still do that stuff with your finger without the INK.

This pen for Windows ink was purchased to use with an HP Spectre X360. I reviewed this pen and others before purchasing. This is really the only pen in the race. The price was a little steep in my opinion. However when pricing other sites the Best buy had the lower price. I held off a little while and BBY had a $20 off sale so I got it. I have been very happy with it. Note:you have to twist the pen in the near center where the clip is located to insert the battery. DO NOT pull on the top you will break it. Add plus is a set of pen heads to suite you needs.

Bamboo Pencil is great. It gives me the ability to add comments to my work and to draw. Great that I can circle items and draw lines quickly. Extra bonus was that Best Buy had early “Black Friday” prices in effect so I got a great price on something I needed.

Love that the Bamboo ink Pen came in a package. Since majority of computers are now compatible with Windows Ink, using this Pen is a must. It will help if taking notes to prevent from typing, along with helping out with drawing. Product is a must have.

I used this on my Hp Spectre 15 inch laptop. It worked perfect and didn't have any delay when using it. Just get it near the screen and it works.
You can use it to draw, edit photos, and just click around in a web browser. Anything you would use a mouse for can be done with this pen and then some.
The weight is quite nice and makes the pen comfortable to use for extended amounts of time. I would recommend this if you are looking for a touch input pen. Just make sure your computer is capable of using the technology this pen offers.

Makes use of the tablet and touchscreen that much easier. Great compliment for the device using windows ink. Makes drawing that much easier. Perfect for those who are in design field to work on projects.
