Works perfectly! but . in Computers and Accessories

It works like a charm but the battery life is terrible (minus one star). It's rechargeable but only lasts a couple of days with very light use and the charger is attached to the cord. It would be nice if it was compatible with the charging pad. It replaced my regular Bamboo Inks. It had a AAAA battery that could be used for at least an hour a day for months.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Some bugs

Technically it works.

If you have a listed tablet that recommends the blue tip, skip the plus version and just buy the original. Diagonal lines are not smooth. The blue tip helps, but it doesn't compete with the previous model for a smooth ride. The battery is good, but if all your records look jagged, it's not worth using. I use my ink pen daily and very heavily and will continue to use the classic ink pen and keep this as a backup for emergencies.

Pros
  • Everything OK!
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance

Works but the battery drains very quickly even when not in use, after 5 days the battery is full empty. Bluetooth, Windows shows a battery gauge, but it doesn't update unless you turn it off and pair again, so you can't know how fast the battery is draining until it stops working without warning. Suggestion for future models: 1) longer battery life 2) different colored LED showing remaining charge 3) some kind of real-time battery updater app

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Replacement availability

NOT compatible with Microsoft Surfaces 2020 incl. Book 3

The claim that this works with all Windows 10 devices is unfortunately WRONG. Whether Adorama meant it or not. Through Wacom Customer Support; "This device is not compatible and its reliability cannot be determined with Microsoft's latest Surface products as they have not yet been tested, specifically with the Surface Book 3." And of course I didn't realize that this seller didn't eligible for Prime, so now I'm thinking I'll probably have to pay to send it back and wait weeks for the $100 to…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Not fully compatible with Surface Pro 7

I bought a Surface Pro 7 and like many people wish it came with a pen or stylus. I was disappointed that the pen was very slow to respond, barely recognizing the pen and only in one of the two pen protocol settings. The other protocol doesn't work at all. I took it to a friend who has a Surface Pro 4 and it works fine. My advice though, if you have a 7, save your money or spend it on a much cheaper pen as it doesn't currently support the Surface Pro 7. The manufacturer doesn't have it on their…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Not well thought out

Works great with ConceptD

I'm an artist and professional graphic designer and I have no idea about these negative reviews. I recently got the ConceptD from Acer, and while it comes with its own stylus, it's a tiny little thing, too small in my hand to do anything more than a quick sketch. I almost bought the regular Bamboo Inks but after buying this stylus, battery and charger it's almost like buying this newer one. No problem, it's accurate, stays connected and feels secure in my hand. I've tried it in Photoshop…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

Wacom is on the box but it's not a Wacom Experience

Wacom is on the box so I expect the pen to be the best. I've spent twice as much as most pens available so I expect better. I have the latest and greatest tablet money can buy, so I expect the best. My expectations are not unfounded. I've tried every suggestion available, including reinstalling my tablet image to ensure the setup is compatible. unreasonable. All this just to have a pen that seems to work when it wants to. Skips every other dash or takes 3 or 4 clicks to register an answer. It…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Modern

Wacom has put too much effort into this pen

I've been using this pen for a few months now and I have to say I'm very disappointed. I wanted this pen because it had to be the best. After some use this is one of the worst pens I have ever used. USB charging seems convenient at first, but I literally have to charge it every time I want to use it. The charge also lasts only a short time and disappears without use. I also find it different than "enable" when I want to use it. Most of the time I can't tell if he's dead or if I'm just doing…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later

Great Value then happened on 6/20/20.

I use the Samsung Note line for work and personal use. I got the LG V60 5G as a new work phone because of the battery (still use a Note 10+ 5G for personal use) and needed a pen that honestly worked as advertised. I decided to try it and if it doesn't work I'll send it back. As soon as I turned it on, it automatically connected to my phone. I was blown away by how flawless he is. With it you can draw, write and use in spreadsheets. It also works great with my Surface Pro 7. I wish I had bought…

  • Good thing
