    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.

    Wacom - Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus for Windows Ink; 2nd Generation is a great pen for my Windows surface. Pen is so easy to connect: insert battery (included in pen purchase)...done :) The pen cursor travels around the screen while my pen hovers over the screen synched perfectly. When drawing, the marks I am making appear directly below the tip of my pen, unlike many other stylists, where the mark is a few centimeters to the side of your pen placement. The Bamboo is much more accurate. I do not think I have to turn the pen on and off, at least I have not done so thus far and it has not yet run out of battery.

    This pairs well with my new Dell Inspiron 2 in 1 laptop. It’s so much fun to tap the screen with the pen instead of using the mouse or just your finger. I’ve done a little drawing on the Dell with it and although it’s not perfect, it’s definitely a cool tool to have around. I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys sketch-noting/drawing on their laptop.

    Due to the wording that it works with all windows 10 pen enabled computers, I bought this for my HP 27” ALL-IN-ONE, which it does not work with, I cant guve ut full 5 stars. I'll start by saying I am not trch savvy at all, so of course after I was unable to get it to connect and did extensive research, I learned that my computer does not work with that type of stylus, even though it says you can connect a pen. Otherwise it works great with all of my devices that ARE actually compatible. It says nothing on the packaging about working with phones and it does work on my android LG V60 Thinq, which was a pleasant surprise. The process of finding out what it does/does not work with was the other reason for the 4 star rating. I also wish it camr with some sort of case or sleeve to keep it in.

    Honestly... we have had this pen for 11 months now and gosh darn it... have not had a reason to use it nor have we figured out (haven't attempted to) figure out how to even use it. Therefore, as much as I thought it'd be a cool thing to use on the tablet or laptop, we have not even taken it out of the box. Sorry that we can not give an honest review of it's performance. :o(

    Sleek and minimalistic design, was perfect for drawing on clip studio although the pressure sensitivity wasnt the best but thats probably because I was drawing on my laptop

    Nice design and straightforward functionality. Price point is what brings down the overall product. Unless you're in design or art, for the average consumer like me its completely unnecessary. That would be the only reason I would consider returning it. If it was even $20 lower it would nail the coffin right on the head.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    It works great I've had it for about a month. no issues. The one thing I don't like is that it takes batteries but that's not a major issue the HP pen also takes batteries so its normal I guess. It worked immediately on my laptop took a few minutes to work the setting for the pen but nothing to difficult. I don't use mine a crazy amount because I do have a wacom tablet I prefer, but when I need to draw on the screen this does the job.

    It works well for a Smart Stylus. It uses an AAAA battery so you're unlikely to have a few extra batteries on hand but the pen can use some power. The best part is that it works right away so no startup pains when getting set up.

    I really like it for drawing, my only problem would be accidentally clicking the button while I’m drawing but there’s an option in the settings for the button to do nothing so it’s not a big problem unless you’re actually using the button for something else.
