Great pen, great price, but check compatibility!

Reviewtldr; I was looking for a $70 alternative to Bamboo Ink and decided to give it a try. Overall very satisfactory, despite initial doubts. Pros: - Easy setup, ready to use almost immediately. - Comes with 3 interchangeable tips with interchangeable tools, one AAAA battery and a small laptop holder that fits into the USB port. I'm using it on a Lenovo Yoga 720 13" and it works like a dream, responding very well to Adobe apps (PS, AE, PR) and Microsoft apps like Fresh Paint and One Note. Very good build quality doesn't feel cheap to the touch, feels like solid aluminium, stronger than the feel of a pen/pencil Almost feels like a metal rod - Feels very natural and in my experience repels the palm when the pen touches the screen Cons: - A bit slippery , feels very slick (not to the point of flying out of hand) but there is an option to use a taped grip or attach a pen/pencil grip if you can do without the laptop grip.It is a bit of a learning curve, especially if this is your first time using this stylus, particularly in Photoshop I might add, but once you get used to it it's great - the side buttons weren't really explained u nd I've never used one of these but doesn't seem to need it - WORKS on Yoga 720 13" but doesn't work on my iPad, Nexus 6P or Nexus 7 touch or hover at all. So be sure to check COMPATIBILITY before you buy! Final thoughts: I love it, it works great for me and at this price point compared to a cheap $9-15 pen with limited precision or a more expensive Bamboo INK ($70), Apple Pencil ($99) or new Pixelbook Pen ($99). ), this stylus does a great job for just under $30, but if you're not doing precision work like drafting or painting and just want some touching of the screen, a cheaper stylus might work. will be the more economical choice and will most likely be compatible with more devices.
