    Was so looking forward to using it but regrettable it is not compatible with my HP Envy x360. Otherwise, this refurbished Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus is a great value.

    Works great. Can't tell it is a refurb product.

    Glad I picked up the refurbished stylus - same usefulness at half the price. Works great. Responsive and useful. I don't do a lot of Windows Ink, but when I do, this does exactly what I need. Only downside is that the AAAA battery (yes, quad-A) wasn't included, however, the product description said it was supposed to be; fortunately, the local best buy made it right without hassle.

    I find myself reaching for this pen when using my laptop more so than the one that came with my laptop! I honestly have no complaints at all so far, and that's going on about 3 weeks now of using it

    Ended up returning it as it wasn't as sensitive and a bit harder to use than the original Surface pen

    Recently purchased Microsoft Surface Pro 6 and purchased this stylus as a back up. It works just as well and, in some respects, better than the original pen.

    Works perfectly with my hp computer which has a capactive touch screen. Note, it does not work with all computers, you need to have a certain type of laptop screen.

    I purchased this pen to see if it would work with my Asus Q505. It has worked well. The tip is a bit grippier than I like, but the active pen part works well!

    I was excited to receive this stylus until I realized that the battery was missing. The description on the website and the box indicates that a AAAA battery is part of the package. Very disappointed.

    It’s refurbished so it doesn’t look brand new but it works fine. Make sure you stock up on batteries.

    It feels like writing with a real pen. The pressure sensitivity is fantastic, and for the price I paid I'd highly recommend it to others.
