Wacom - Bamboo Solo Stylus - Black

It's a great stylus if you use it for it's intended use. It's wonderful for opening apps on my smartphone and tablet. Should you download the SwiftKey app, it's about 99% accurate on the G8+, probably because of the smallish keys. I wanted the fine tipped one, so I could write on those apps that allow it. It would save a lot of time, especially on the fly, but couldn't justify the considerable jump in price. Writing non-ability aside, it's a joy on the screen, gliding like an Olympic figure skater destined for a gold medal. I really can't think of anything I'd improve except for making it a bit longer, so the keys aren't blocked by your hand, and a little thicker, to improve holdability. I bought the first one for full freight with my bonus points, but when I saw them at 1/2 price on Cyber Monday, I bought a couple of them. I lost the original and was going slowly insane with a stylus that bogged down constantly no matter how many times I cleaned the screen(s) or the tip. Am enjoying the new one, and am going to make a concerted effort not to lose it. I put the other one in a safe place that more than likely will forget.

Wearing begins the first day using it to do artwork. Exactly what the first Bamboo stylus DID not do. Apple Pencil is great, for sure. It doesn't seem to break down in any way, and it is actually the best tool for artwork where precision on the Anatomically correct drawings is necessary for when giving directions in medical notes, etc. but this is only useable on iPad Pro. The bamboo solo that DOES work is the short one with the cap. It's the only one I don't wear out over night. It could be the fact I need to place a screen protector on my iPad Air 2 ; because the box includes the fact it may NOT work with this kind of cover.

I love the feel of these, but the carbon fiber nub wears out well short of expectations. I ordered it on November 30th and the tip has almost worn out. Granted, I have the SwiftKey keyboard installed on my G8+ and use it constantly, but I don't put a lot of pressure on it. I called the company and they said life expectancy was about 5 to 6 months. I have less than one month on the clock, and really should replace the nub, but I'm curious to see how long it takes for it to be completely unusable. Trying to write with it is nearly impossible because it is too broad a tip. Also will not work on my Lenovo Yoga 720 touch screen. While I like the feel, it's usefulness and lifespan are below expectations.

I bought this stylus due to the size of the tip and how small it is compared to other stylus. However after three months the covering on the tip has come off and now is totally useless. The stylus is very nice when it worked. The cost to replace the tip is almost as much as what the stylus cost to begin with, and that is if you can find anyone who has them. I will never buy another Wacom/Bamboo product if this is the quality they put into their products. Went and bought a Targus for almost half the price and is 10 times the stylus this one is. I do not recommend anyone purchasing this unless you only need it for a short time frame.

Though this product comes with an instruction manual, I did find it hard once I set it up to get used to not being able to do the normal right click options. I also seem to still not get used to the different pressures that activate different settings in the pain and it isn't as accurate as using the mouse with the pointer. I probably just have to get used to it I know practice makes perfect and I guess I'm a little old-school LOL.

This is a nice stylus, a bit pricey, but a good choice. The nib sometimes has a hard time reacting to the tablet, but the majority of the time it works real well. If you are an artist like me, and you work with digital art, and you have the ipad pro, you might want to opt for the Apple pen instead, but for everyday scrolling it's good. It's funny though my friend gave me a free stylus from a vendor at work, and that one works the best. Go fig. Still since not eveyone would have access to that one, this is a good buy.

This is a very simple and plain stylus, but very well made. Very light, glides smoothly across the screen without sticking, and has good input on my phone. No pen with ink, no batteries to charge, just a simple, comfortable, and we'll made product. Well worth the price for as long as it has lasted. Replacement tips are available, but I could only find them online and not in store

My SONY laptop was needing repairs and I decided to get a new one. After reading several reviews, I decided that this was the one. I've been very pleased with the speed and I'm still learning to use the power of Windows 10 (I'm missing my Windows 7 photo gallery and movie maker though). The screen is wonderful and the keyboard is large enough for me - the backlighting is an asset. I might add a mouse because I have difficulty with the accuracy off the pad on some apps.
