Wacom Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus in Black, Optimised for Windows Ink - Active Touch Pen for Pen-Enabled Windows 10 Touchscreen Input Devices

It's quite hard to figure out which of the inking standards a touchscreen laptop supports and which any given pen supports, but because Dell were saying their own-brand pen wouldn't work properly until later in the year when a new BIOS update is made available, it seemed worth trying something else. Wacom is a brand I'd heard of elsewhere so thought it was worth a try, and it paired easily and works very well with my Inspiron 14 7445 2-in-1

I bought this as a replacement for the stylus that came bundled with my new HP Elitebook. The existing stylus would sometimes lose connection (if i held it upside down, for example) and my writing would disappear and occasional random lines would appear on my notes when it caught up - very frustrating, particularly as I annotate notes during training courses and it made me look a bit unprofessional.I'm happy to say that having used the new stylus for a few days, all of these problems seem to have disappeared. It works perfectly - no gaps in lines or words etc, and I had no problems pairing it via bluetooth; it's a good weight in the hand (substantial but without being heavy), doesn't slip and I personally prefer the triangular shape over the circular shape.All in all - very happy. I can now concentrate on what i'm doing rather than being worried about the kit i'm using.

Great pen, using it on a Surface Pro 3. The only con is the button is too delicate - it snapped off on my first day.

Unfortunately the bluetooth button broke before I had a chance to use it. It looks like asmart pen, feels nice to hold but seems flimsy.

My technophobe partner, who has a problem with touch screens, got one of these as part of a package deal with a new laptop and she was really made up with it. I tried it and was so impressed that I bought one myself. It's very simple to set up; you can't go wrong and it works exactly as you would expect. It's very intuitive and so far I can't find fault with it!

Overall the product feels really nice and looks as though it is really good quality, however the buttons and pressure sensitivity did not work for me, so I assume this was a compatiblity issue. The laptop in question was a hp pavilion x360, so would not advise for this laptop. Pen worked really well as a simple stylus so I imagine it would be really good if compatible. As such I have returned it was was easy to do.

Didn’t work because my touchscreen is “capacitive” rather than newer technology.My laptop is Dell XPS 15 9560 — if you have this model number the Bamboo Ink stylus will not work on your screen.

This is a great bargain pen, I think. It feels nice in the hand and it doesn't miss a stroke. The palm rejection you get on a Surface tablet is also extremely welcome. I was a bit worried that the lower performance on my Surface 3 would give me problems with tracking, but it doesn't miss a curve. For a while I though it was glitching, but I soon realised that the digitiser in the tablet has a dead band across the screen. So, not an all fun experience, but that was obviously not an issue with the pen.One more minor complaint will probably come when it's time to replace the battery. It uses the rare AAAA batteries, so, I guess I'll end up buying a four pack of those and see 2-3 of the batteries "go to waste" by getting old before I use them.
