    It works every bit as well as the MS Surface Pen, yet seems to have a crisper feel to it. It works w/ Microsoft Pen Protocol, and if you push both buttons and hold for a few seconds, the light will blink letting you know that the thing is now in AES mode...and work on your apple devices (sadly not iphone though)

    To be honest, when I used to work at Best Buy I saw these returned a lot and heard anecdotally that they were mediocre. I finally had the chance to see for myself when I bought one for my new lenovo Yoga and it's actually really great. Smooth writing, comfortable to hold. I don't use it very much, but that's not the pen's fault. Good, budget friendly stylus for anyone using windows.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    I purchased this stylus to go with my new HP Envy laptop. It's perfect. Having moved from the Surface Pro 4 to HP and Bamboo, I've had a little bit of a learning curve. With the Surface Pen, I could flip it over and use the eraser end like an eraser. I can't do that with the Bamboo. Instead, it has a two button toggle on the pen that accomplishes the same thing. The placement of the toggle buttons was, at first, troublesome for me because of the way I hold the pen as a lefty. But, I've adjusted and I love it. This stylus is definitely worth the money and works great with my HP Envy Laptop running Windows 10.
