Wacom Bamboo Ink-Active Stylus (2nd generation, with 4,096 pressure levels for natural writing & making notes on pen-compatible touchscreen devices with Microsoft Windows 10), Gray

Got this for my Concept D ezel and works great 👍🏻

Not compatible with my Envy 360 Convertible tho listed as suitable. To ensure the product wasn't fault I tested on work Lenovo ThinkPad and it works beautifully. Shame i couldn't keep it. Accuracy and speed better than Lenovos own stylus. Very good weight for handling. Comfy. Can be used either in wacom mode or Microsoft pen protocol mode. The only slight inconvenience is the location of the buttons as they end up on the same level as fingertip when holding. Could be higher but for that price and how responsive, fast and accurate it is, it can be forgiven.

I love drawing on my Thinkpad Yoga 370 but the included pen is really rather small. This Wacom pen, when switched into Wacom AES mode (instead of the default Windows Ink) works immediately and (in a technical sense) perfectly.However, it's just not that good.I chose this pen (2nd gen, separate battery) over the rechargeable option because I like the idea of being able to carry a spare battery, however in hindsight the more expensive rechargeable pen might be a nicer option.The round, matt, solid aluminium of this pen barrel feels reassuring, like it will last a long time, but is cold in the hand every time I pick it up and because it is round you find yourself having to constantly look at it to rotate the buttons back under your fingers. A slightly triangular pen like the older design would be preferred here.The buttons don't feel particularly nice. They're very functional and click well, but plasticky. They don't feel long lasting.In terms of sensitivity it's just too sensitive at low pressure, and because of this it's much harder to draw fine lines than with the tiny pen that is included with my Thinkpad. As soon as you touch the surface you're immediately at about 20% thickness. I'm quite disappointed in this and it is taking some effort to re-learn. Even the lightest pressure producer thicker lines than I want.Adjusting the sensitivity in the control panel doesn't help because then I then lose the ability to draw thick lines. I can only assume the software modifies the pressure in a linear way rather than a logarithmic one. So far I can only get a range of maybe 80%. Either 20% to 100% or 0% to 80% depending on software.In terms of tracking however I've not experienced the problems a few other reviewers have mentioned, mine is consistently smooth, fast and accurate, but I will note that power-saving affects pen response speed. Definitely turn power saving off or connect your tablet/laptop to a power supply.All-in-all I'm not actually sure this is an upgrade. Maybe my opinion will cool off over time, maybe I will get used to it, but right now I'm just not very impressed. It's OK. It works. But it's nothing special.

In a world obsessed with Microsoft, finding the actual spec. of these devices can be difficult. Wacom's initial response was 'works with Windows', however after a second email to support seems yes it supports the required protocol, although both Nokia and Wacom say it's untested; but I can say it does work fine with the Nokia T21 tablet. No idea on the battery life yet, and it took some time to charge initially. Once charged and paired - it installed Wacom Notes app and Wacom Bamboo Paper without prompting and that's quite useful, although the Bamboo Paper is not the 'full version' and you may want the 'Pro Pack' which is more ££, which given the device is the 'Plus' version is a bit off and why I only gave it 4 stars. Ignore the 4k pressure levels with the Nokia, at least with the apps I've tried so far.

I bought this stylus as it was able to work with both types of laptop tied to get it to work.. it didnt.. went online to website.. total waste of time and effort no help whatsoever, as a last resort tried ringing the helpline (based in London) it didnt even ring! worse epxerience Ive had qood quality product but losy customer service and guess what ... I'm still waiting for a refund weeks later.. my advice.. Avoid at all coast.. go for cheap one of ebay..

Great product which works well with my Acer Spin 14

I am an academic researcher and I use the pen only to read academic papers in pdf form. Only focusing on this limited use, I can confirm that the pen does an amazing job in my Dell Inspiron 2-in1 7373 laptop. Very comfortable to hold and very reactive. Easy to highlight and take notes, plus you can easily switch to the eraser mode with the button on the pen.For this limited use, I believe this pen perfectly meets the requirements and there is no need for more expensive devices. Of course, you need to make sure that the pen is compatible with your laptop.

Spent days suffering with a Microsoft pen1 and half hours Microsoft remote access customer service could not solve the problem that my Microsoft device paired. And opened with shortcuts double clicking. But refused to write.Fast forward.This took seconds to install. Wrote immediately. Did its shortcuts faster. Felt nicer in the hand. And came with spare nibs of varying types.And is 40 pounds cheaper. Bamboo Ink 1st Generation. Than Microsoft surface pen.Cannot argue it draws. It senses the change in pressure. It can be used as a cursor. It has done the job.Wont go back to Microsoft pen.Wacom have always been the best in Graphic tablets.Will stick with a Bamboo from now on
