Customers have good things to say about the Bamboo Smart Stylus Pen's ease of use and compatibility with Samsung Galaxy devices. Many appreciate its comfortable, pen-like feel and reliable performance for note-taking and other digital tasks. However, some users wish the stylus were smaller, and find the side button prone to accidental presses. Overall, the positive feedback on functionality outweighs the minor concerns about size and button placement.

Works with the 2016 Tab A w/ S Pen

I bought this to use with my Samsung 2016 Tab A w/ S Pen. Because it is replacing the S Pen that comes with the tablet, it is much easier to write and draw with because it more closely mimics the diameter of an actual pen or pencil. You do not have to charge it like some other stylus options from other manufacturers (ahem Apple). The S Pen that comes with the tablet is way too skinny and short. In any case the drawing and writing experience is great with this stylus! The reason for 4 stars is the price. It is a bit expensive if you already factor in the cost of a tablet. But since Apple is charging $100 bucks for the Pencil (which you have to re-charge), then this is a steal! Fortunately I used rewards certificates to bring down the price. Also, the tablet has to recognize that the stylus is active, so I have to remove the built-in S Pen from its slot to start using the Bamboo. This is a bit annoying.

Use this to create handwritten notes on my Samsung tablet. Works very well. Sometimes I have a tendency to press the button on the side of it, but overall works very well.

I recently purchased the Samsung Tab A with S-Pen. While I love the tablet and the ability to write on it. The pen that neatly slips into a cavity in the tablet was not great for writing more than a shopping list. Since I use the tablet for not taking and studying, this pen offers a great, normal sized pen to work with. The best thing is that it works just as well as the S-pen and doesn't require any setup! Just unbox and go!

I've had a Samsung Galaxy Tab with S Pen for a 1.5 year now, and I use the S Pen to take notes in seminars and meetings. It works well, but the Bamboo Smart Stylus is so much more comfortable. It's feels like writing with pen and paper. The Smart Stylus Pen is perfectly balanced. It's also pressure sensitive. It works better than the S Pen in my opinion.

The case on my Samsung Tab A makes it nearly impossible to access the stylus on the back. This stylus feels as natural as a pen and maintains all of the original functionality.

Great Pen for Samsung Tablet

I purchased this pen for the Samsung pen-enabled tablet. A pen already comes with a pen, but I wanted something that felt more like a real pen. This fit the bill. Feels like an actual pen with a cap. The only drawback is the button is easily pressed by accident, so you have to look and hold the pen so that the button is on the other side. I didn't take points off for that, because I have encountered this problem with every digital pen I have used. Just have to get used to using it.

Bought to use with my Samsung galaxy tab A 9.7 inch, reason being the s-pen it comes with is so skinny, and my hand would cramp at times while writing for longer periods of time. This pen solved the cramping in my hand. I think the reason is because this pen is the size of an actual pen, and it works amazingly well on my Samsung tablet! Very Happy with my purchase!

The pen in itself seemed like it would work great but pending best buy sold me this pen saying it would work on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Tab, it did not. Other than that the pen felt good in your hand and the hard tip is nice.

This pen works great, but I sort of wish it was smaller or came with a way to attach.
