    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.

    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.

    Worth the Buy

    The most wonderful thing I could have bought for my schooling needs. It gets the job done and doesnt need to charge because it runs on non-rechargeable batteries. The set up was super easy. I just needed to click the pairing button on the pencil and it worked immediately with my laptop. It took some time getting used to the feel of it as its very slippery in my hand because of how smooth it is. The only downside is that it does sometimes feel a bit heavy to write with. But definitely worth the purchase. I also got mine "open-box" and it works like new.

    Not so much to say. The pen is incredible and user-friendly. The tip of the pen smooth and does not produce any shades on my laptop screen. Initially, I did not even know the kind of pen that would be compatible to my HP laptop but a live chat with an agent or worker in the Best Buy helped am lot. The item was delivered at its said time, and I was really happy about it because I needed it to start taking my course lecture notes by the end of that week.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Easy to use, and great price! Has great compatibility with most Windows computers, it has 2 different settings that you can change by pressing the button on the bottom of the stylus. The battery you need to use must be put in the exact way instructions indicate. No issues at all! Highly recommend

    Even though I bought this "Used" it was in great condition, and works a lot better than my old (1st gen) stylus. Has a nice weight, easy to connect, easy to erase, and the additional feature of selecting a piece of text. Very satisfied.

    Haven't really had a whole lot of time to play with this new pen but seems pretty much like the older model. I do like this color better. Placement of the buttons is a little annoying for me but not anything I cant adjust to.

    I got it for my Dell Inspiron 14 7000 2-in-1 laptop, and it works very well with it. I also tried it on my sister's HP Pavilion x360 14-inch laptop, and it's great with it as well. I use it for annotating readings and teaching on any whiteboard. Highly recommended!

    I have owned this pen for a little over a week and I have used it often in the one note app to guide my notes and draw My only two complaints are that I wish there was some kind of rubber or non-slick grip because at times the pen does slip out of my hand. Also I wish the two buttons were farther up the pen because at times I find myself accidentally erasing my work when I am not aware of my hand placement
