The Wacom Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus 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.

I love this pen. It is easy to use and is comfortable enough to use for hours everyday. I love this one so much that I’ve replaced it 3 times after losing it.

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 pen is great for 2-in-1 laptops!
Previously, I’ve owned the 1st generation and miss the different points that came with it; however, for this generation expect only one point with the option of buying more online.
I use this pen mainly for OneNote which makes it possible to organize notes and of course to save the planet.
The benefits is that you no longer have to carry multiple colored pens to take notes on paper (took a lot of space on my backpack) when you can have multiple pen colors to select on OneNote app and get taken away by this amazing pen! The pen is programmed to have the bottom button to erase things and the top button to lasso select in case you would like to drag a portion of your notes somewhere rather than rewriting the whole thing. Overall it is a good buy, go buy it if you own a 2-in-1 laptop and use it for OneNote!

The tracking works well with my lenovo laptops. No real complaints other than the buttons being somewhat easy to accidentially click (and a quadruple a battery) but that was easy to just adjust grip to avoid. Has popped up on every operating system on my thinkpad (various linux distros). Overally fairly happy with it (i do primarily use it for rough sketching projects and some note taking).

This though screen pen is a great addition to my laptop accessories. It's very easy to use and provides a smooth and accurate touch experience. The pen is lightweight and comfortable to hold, making it perfect for extended use. The pen's tip is also very durable, and I haven't experienced any wear and tear even after using it for a while. I also appreciate the pen's compatibility with a variety of devices, including laptops and tablets. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend the Waycom touchscreen pen to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality pen for their touchscreen devices.

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.

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⭐

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!

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 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.

A side note: prepare 4A rechargeable batteries.
It just works with Surface Pro 11 and some older model Android tablets for me. Your mileage may vary. If you encounter writing issue, press and hold both buttons until light goes on.

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.

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 pen works perfectly with my laptop and is very responsive. Writing feels smooth and accurate with no lag, which makes note-taking and studying so much easier. It’s comfortable to hold and connects quickly every time. Definitely worth the purchase.
