Review on Wacom Gen. 3 Bamboo Stylus Solo for Kindle Fire, iPad Pro, iPad/iPad Mini, Windows Tablets & Samsung Galaxy (Upgraded Version) by Gabe Ries

I love this stylus, suitable for computers and accessories

I love this stylus! I wanted the pen to be strong but not too heavy. As a student, all of my lecture notes are stored on my iPad Mini, so they are mainly used for highlighting notes, moving text boxes, and scrolling through pages. I considered Adonit jot or Musumee, but they were better for handwriting notes on the iPad, which I didn't need. I had to press a little harder than expected due to the "soft" nature of the tip, but once I got used to it, it was fine. The cap covers the tip of the pen and attaches to the back so it's a good size when I hold it in my hand. The tip is more like a mesh than a rubber end, which I think helps it glide better across the iPad mini's screen. I had an old Zagg screen protector that was sticky/rubber and the stylus didn't respond to it at all. I ended up removing the screen protector because it was weird even with my fingers - my classmate who recommended this pen to me said she had no problem using it with the screen protector. Definitely recommend this pen if you need to mark up or move around in a document. If you're planning on taking notes or handwriting something, I'd check out Musemee or Adonit.
