    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 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.

    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.

    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?

    We purchased this pen to use with the laptop we got for my son to attend college. He loves having this option and it makes taking notes and using the laptop during lectures to hi-lite important details a lot easier. I would highly recommend this as a bonus to anyone with a touchscreen laptop.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I didn’t know about the brand as I’ve never tried it before but after using it for about a month now I love it! I use it everyday and it is very lightweight and easy to use! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a magic pencil!
