    Bought this for my granddaughter. It's very nice and has opened up a whole new world for her. She draws and creates pictures and art work on her laptop screen. She draws 3D pictures and colors them and adds shading to create a variety of creative works. It's easy to use and works so well and provides accurate writing and drawing capabilities. A really perfect tool!

    I have never had a touch screen laptop before, so, this is my first time using this type of a writing tool. I have nothing to judge it with other than a regular stylus pen, which, of course, is very different than this pen. I am still getting used to writing on my new “tablet” without making smudges with my hand. I can say it does make very clear and concise marks right where you want them. It works nicely for checking off boxes and such. I’m sure as I work with it, I will be pleased with it. I am not sure why there are 2 buttons on the side of the pen. There were not any instructions in the box to explain what they were for. That would be helpful for a newbie such as me.

    The pen works great with my Yoga 7i. It writes really smooth which I was concerned it would have some delay. I highly recommend this stylus as it is is very affordable for the quality you are getting.

    The Wacom Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus Review

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

    The Wacom Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus for Windows Ink, 2nd Generation, in Gray, earns high marks in my book for its impressive functionality and compatibility with Windows Ink. The stylus seamlessly integrates with Windows devices, offering a smooth and precise writing and drawing experience. Its ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip, enhancing overall usability. The only reason I deducted a star is the non-rechargeable nature, relying on cell batteries. While this choice ensures extended usage, a rechargeable feature would have been more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, the Wacom Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus stands out for its performance, making it an excellent tool for digital creators and Windows Ink enthusiasts.

    Good value for stylus compatible with Surface

    When the stylus that came with my Microsoft Surface was damaged, I needed to find a replacement. However, I was turned off by the high price of the replacement stylus made by Microsoft, and decided instead to give this Bamboo stylus a try. I'm glad I did as it has all of the functionality of my original stylus at a much more reasonable price. There are two key design differences, though, from the Microsoft stylus: One is the placement of the buttons (this stylus does not have a button on the end). After using this for a couple of months, I can say I am happy with the button arrangement on the Bamboo stylus. The second difference is that this stylus does not attach magnetically to my Surface as the Microsoft stylus did, which I see as a very minor inconvenience.

    The pressure 4096 is great. My ASUS Px13 (when working in Krita) also seems to be able to detect pen rotation when I'm using it which is weird since it's not an advertised feature. Not a complaint but it is a neat little tidbit. The unreliable detection, not so great. There are plenty of times where it would simply discontinue a line as I'm working on illustrations. Sometimes it would take restarting the entire laptop to get it to connect reliably so I'm not quite sure what that's all about. Battery life. It has one, somewhere. There are no indicators to what % it's at whatsoever. It died randomly once so I always have one fully charged AAAA that I keep around in the event it happens again. Ergonomics are kind of terrible since it's a perfect cylinder with buttons on one side so I made my own grip to make sure that those buttons are always in a predictable place instead of having to look down or accidentally pressing it with other parts of my hand. Also, no magnet mounts; just that little clip like a traditional pen. Weird design choices. It's a pen, it kind of works, but I'd like something better.

    This is my first stylus. I am using it with my HP pavilion 360-14m-dh1xxx 2-1. This stylus works great with Windows Ink and Bamboo Paper apps in the tablet mode. I do advise that before you purchase your stylus, check the compatibility list provided by Bamboo. I write this because this stylus works well with my computer, it does not connect via Bluetooth. The Ink plus will (provided it is on the list) and thus have more functionality via Bluetooth. As far as writing and drawing on my screen, it works great.

    Best pen for the price. Its an older pen that uses a AAA battery to operate but that doesnt prevent it from lasting a significantly long time in etween uses. Its ready to right without touching the two included button the moment its near the screen. Its well balanced and weighted with the battery. Seriously dont need to look elsewhere, this works and works well

    I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this little Bamboo stylus totally surprised me—in a good way. It’s light, responsive, and glides across my tablet like it’s made for it (probably because it is). Makes sketching and note-taking feel way more natural. Battery lasts a long time, and it just feels solid. If you’re thinking about it, just do it—worth every penny. Happy with the purchase and I’ve already recommended it to a few friends who draw or journal. Let’s just say it made my screen time a lot more satisfying.⭐PICK-ME-BESTBUY⭐

    The only negative I have about this pen is that it is really lite. A bit too lite for me. I wish it some some heft to it. Maybe it is due to the fact, compared to my original Surface pen having some heft it that this feels almost like a feather. The artist might like that light feel. Me, i'm getting used to it. I love the feeling of the pen as I take notes and highlight my work. I will also add that I would have liked the surface buttons to be a bit stiffer to press when writing or coloring and everything else I use the pen for. I find them a tad sensitive and find myself needing to hold the pen a certain way because of that.Other than, it's a great looking pen.

    Bought for my daughter. Works well with her Dell 2in1 laptop. let's her write free hand and draw. Less expensive then the stylus from Dell. Got the open box return and saved even more. Essentially brand new.

    Nice pen. Fun to use. Set up with my Lenovo Yoga. When I first connected it, my touchscreem didn't work after I stopped using it. Had to uninstall and reinstall app to get it to work correctly again. No issues since.

    I wanted to replace my pen for HP Touch screen computer so I bought this pen. I wouldn't recommend it compared to the factory pen that came with the computer. The new pen takes a quadruple AAAA battery that I would have to keep buying now. Once it goes out I will discontinue use.

    This small device was well worth the price. My daughter uses it to draw on her 2-1 HP laptop since HP did not include a stylus for her model. However, compared to the HP model used in the store, this felt better.

    Hard to keep it connected to my Dell XPS 13

    I'm kind of meh with this device. I have a Dell XPS 13 which is included in the compatible devices list. I have a hard time keeping it connected and have to remove the battery to reset the connection. I get varying degrees of effective use. Highly depends on the application. Some are acceptable and some absolutely horrible. For comparison, I have an Apple Pencil I use with an iPad Pro and it is super consistent. This device, on windows, is aggravating. Not sure if it is the stylus or windows. For a Windows stylus, I guess this is good enough. Maybe the Dell branded version would be better?
