    Alright, so I lost my original pen that I got with my Surface Pro 4 a while back, and despite a lot of searching, it never turned up. So I got this as a replacement for it and so far I am in love. The pressure levels work great for Clip Studio Paint, and OneNote, and my drawings for game sites with friends are back to peak accuracy. Lol. I also have the Bluetooth Wacom Bamboo tablet for my desktop, and this is just so much easier in comparison. If your computer is compatible, get this!

    I like this pen, however, I found that because of the way I write I end up bumping the buttons a lot more than I would prefer. I have been messing around with the settings to try switching it, but it still makes writing a bit difficult. I love that it is so easy to use! With little to no hassle with setup and usage.

    A++ Stylus for Windows Ink on HP Envy x360 15m 2n1

    This is my first proper drawing and writing pen for windows ink. I have always been wanting to get into digital writing and drawing and this pen is a great and easy way to do it! It comes with the AAAA battery which you install by twisting the end cap off. The negative side up and then twist the end cap back on. You hold down both buttons on the pen until the light comes on to turn it on. You hold down the same buttons to turn it off. It doesn't need Bluetooth to work on my laptop, which I thought was the best bit! I am so thankful that the Best Buy guy, Nick, explained to me how it worked and that it would be perfect to go along with my new laptop. It was on sale bucks below the normal price. Honestly, I didn't realise how much these types of stylus pens would cost, however, now that I have it, it's well worth the money due to the ease of use! As this pen doesn't come with the extra nibs, I had to order them from the Wacom site. You get three different types in a little case for $9.95 - Can't get them on Amazon nor Best Buy. I would highly recommend this pen!

    I am very pleased with this product, and it continues to work better than I expected on a Windows 10 touchscreen laptop that can be folded into tent or tablet positions. I primarily bought it for my 1st grader. She is doing online homework for the rest of the school year because of the virus crisis. It is significantly easier for her to use the pen than her finger, at least once I had the pen configured properly in Win 10; Had to tweak some settings so her hand touching while she was writing would not mess things up. Be aware that the battery is supposed to last a long time, and I have not had to replace it yet, but it is a special AAAA (4A) battery -- I cannot recall ever seeing one of those before.

    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.

    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.

    There isn’t anything I can say much about this product considering it was not used. When purchased I assumed it would work for the laptop I bought for someone as a gift but it didn’t so I had to return it. I believe it just wasn’t compatible with the type of laptop. I’m sure this is a great pen though! I gave 5 stars because why put one star when it wasn’t used!

    The last stylus I had crapped out and I was in urgent need of one. I looked this up on the site and luckily they had it in store so I ran there, hoping it was compatible with my Lenovo Yoda C740. Read the instructions, installed the battery and at first, my computer did not respond to it. The instructions state that if this happens, hold both buttons simultaneously to change the settings. I did this and it works beautifully. I like the firmness of the tip of the stylus - it is pressure sensitive so you have to press a little harder than I did on my last one. The buttons are located right where most people whole hold a writing tool, so that takes some frequent adjusting and getting used to. Once you get used to using the stylus with the positioning of the buttons, it is a very good tool, and I'm hoping it lasts a while - so far, so good. I'd recommend.

    Super helpful. I bought this to use on my HP Envy 360x for school and it has been wonderful for saving paper and taking notes. Writing with it in Adobe is a pain because the strokes don’t come out smooth so the writing ends up all jacked, but I think it’s just the program because my OneNote notes look just like my paper notes do handwriting-wise. Of course, the stylus is weighted a little differently than a pen or pencil, but not so much that it’s awkward to write with. I bought a 2-pack of extra AAAA batteries for it from Best Buy (they’re a weird size and you can only get them from certain places), but I haven’t had to replace the original yet. I also bought the replacement tips directly from Wacom (I bought two styluses, one online, the other in person, neither came with nibs, and other reviewers have given mixed results). the proper nibs are also something that are hard to find outside of certain suppliers, but I haven’t had to replace mine yet. I don’t use the extra features buttons very much, so I can’t comment on how helpful they are.

    Purchased to use with my HP envy x360 touchscreen so I can write notes. It works well. I don't keep the battery in it so not sure about how long the battery could last. Gave a 4 star due to the placement of the erase , right click button. It is easily clicked when you hold the pen and can be activated too easily when you don't want it to be. Kind of pricey for a stylus but better quality than others.

    I purchased this for my daughter who is an Architecture student. She has used it for a summer class and said that it was better that the stylus she misplaced. When I used the stylus, it had smooth and fluid strokes. It paired well with my Asus computer. It's not heavy or bulky. It is a great smart stylus that can be used for so many projects. I highly recommend.

    Constant lag of the Wacom universal Bamboo pen

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

    This pen is awful. I'm an artist that uses Clip Studio Paint and I needed a pen badly. I bought this pen in October of 2020 and once I started using it lagged. I searched multiple times on tutorials for how to get it working just in case it was only mine, but nothing useful came up. I thought that it needed a battery, and its battery wasn't easy to find. Once I got a new battery for it thinking the problem would be solved, I was wrong. The pen still lags and stops. Nothing I did could fix the lag. I have to sometimes unscrew the top, shake it, and lightly hit it to work. I will say it is a waste of 50 bucks, not worth buying it if it's going to act like that. The only good thing is that it is actually compatible with CSP. Other than that, it was a waste of money.

    This pen works really well. I've used it with my computer and has worked okay so far. The pen does not have direct compatibility with my pc so I can't connect it through Bluetooth which means it probably is more accurate if it does connect. In any case, this is a perfect pen for someone who's looking for something that would work on any computer that allows windows ink workspace.

    The Wacom pen is also compatible with my Microsoft Surface Laptop. To switch between modes, you just need to hold both buttons. This is a nice feature if you use both types of devices, as the Dell pen and Microsoft pens are not cross-compatible.

    Love this stylus. A little tricky to use in the beginning but super great when you get the hang of it. It does take the weirdest batteries in the world tho but the batteries last a while.
