Disappointing battery life and precision
Evaluation concerns use as a replacement pen for Acer Spin SP513-52N
Pro
- lies quite comfortably in the hand
- Entries can generally be made
Contra
- Extremely short battery life (less than 10 h usage time with 3 h charging time)
- Specification misleading: battery life officially 2 mths (2h/day, 5 days/week) vs. support 10 days
- Inaccurate strokes (shaky line, especially when writing slowly)
- No configuration options via Windows 10
- Configuration software from support site does not recognise Stylus and therefore refuses installation
- No feedback on charge status, switching on/off or other; only orange LED when charging
- Documentation inadequate overall
Fits like this
The pen feels of high quality and should last longer than its counterpart from Lenovo (Active Pen 2) according to reviews.
No information can yet be given about the battery life.Pro
- Processing top
- 3 pcs. Spare tips included
- USB-C charging cable included
- With battery
- Works with Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5
Contra
- More expensive than the Lenovo Active Pen 2
- No ON/Off switch
Finally with battery :)
For a while now, I've been nagging about the fact that my old Bamboo pen needs those overpriced AAAA batteries. It's nice that this one has a rechargeable battery. It works great with my old HP Pro x2 tablet. I am happy.
Simple, practical, handy, good
A great thing for the price
Pro
- Simple coupling
- sits well in the hand
Contra
- Nothing negative so far
Terrible compatibility
Pro
- Works as a stylus
Contra
- Not even recognised correctly by the official Wacom software
- Not properly programmable
Best purchase for the school that I have ever made.
I've been writing for half a year with the asus pen v2, which costs more than 100 cent... Compared to the new pen, my old asus pen is much cheaper. You just realise that Wacom has a lot of experience with drawing tablets. 10 out of 10
Pro
- Write feeling (you've never heard of it)
- Print definition on point
- Soft buttons
- Resistance of the pin tip (you have to feel it yourself to understand)
- Ergonomic hand position design.
Contra
- Usb C cover made of plastic, which will certainly be omitted in the future.
Good product
The pen works perfectly on my Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5
Pro
- Works
- Also Discord friendly
Good pen, which supports 3 systems :-) - but somewhat weak battery :-(
I like the fact that it has a rechargeable battery (the Lenovo Pen is not available in the rechargeable version), and that the device discharges within 2-3 days. However, you can charge it on the USB port and work with it after a short time.
It is hardly ever mentioned, but the pen is compatible with the Microsft system, as well as the two Wacom systems 1.0 and 2.0 (switchable)! Check if your notebook works with one of the systems, then it is most likely compatible.
Pro
- Battery - you can charge it and don't have to keep buying batteries
- Works with 3 different systems
Contra
- Self-discharge, is often discharged when you need it
Bad battery, wavy lines, ignorant support
I was looking forward to the pen because I had heard good things about Wacom and Bamboo.
But unfortunately a big disappointment.
I had tested this pen with my Lenovo x380 and Hp x360 1040 G8 and with both of them there are wavy lines when drawing slowly.
Neither the manufacturers of the notebooks nor Bamboo or Wacom care.
No one is prepared to take a closer look.
In my opinion, it would only be necessary to interpolate and smooth the measuring points a little better in the pen firmware and then it would be perfect. But if the support team is stubborn, the pen can only be used as a paperweight.
Then there is the miserable battery life. If I use the pen intensively, it is empty after 8 hours (in comparison, I use the pen supplied by HP for about 2-3 weeks before I have to charge it).
On top of that, it takes forever to charge.
I decided on the pen mainly because of the reputation of Wacom and Bamboo and because of the shape of the pen, as it fits so well in the hand and does not twist, so that the buttons are always in the right place.
But because of all the other flaws, it just sits on the shelf and collects dust.Pro
- Shape
Contra
- Battery
- Ignorant support team
- Wavy lines
Connection problems too often and annoyingly small battery
It would be a really good pen if the battery wasn't made in such a way that you have to charge it practically every day. The much bigger problem, however, is that it too often loses the connection and you then spend 10 minutes pressing something on the pen so that it finds the device again, you can change the protocol with the buttons, but it is not really clear which one is active and which one you want. All in all very tedious. I originally got the as a replacement for the Surface, but the Surface is better in all respects except for the writing quality.
Pro
- Writes well
- Lies well in the hand
Contra
- Battery too small
- Often loses the connection and does not find it again
- Very tedious when the pen is not recognized to get deb working again
Great pen
Pro
- Rechargeable
- Swiveling
- Good design
- With 3 additional pens
Contra
- Takes too long to turn off
- Therefore it is better to leave it in standby, but this eats a lot of battery
Good pen
Pro
- AES AND MPP compatible
- Good grip
Contra
- Battery discharges quickly
Not compatible with my HP spectre x360 15-df1...
The buttons and the connection work fine. However, the touch input creates disturbances as if I were tapping in many places with my fingers... The buttons and connection work fine... but the touch input creates disturbances as if I was typing in a lot of places with my fingers...
Pro

- comfortable
- Different tips to choose from in the box
- Good grip
Contra
- Not compatible with my HP spectre x360 15-df1...

Connection to Surface Pro 7 is lagging.
Pen is easy to set up. Fits well in the hand. But the connection to the Surface Pro 7 is terrible. Takes a long time (often several seconds) until the pen registers on the tablet and responds. For illustrating - with high frustration tolerance - just barely suitable, for writing simply unusable.
Pro
- different tips
Contra
- poor connection
- Connection constantly breaks off
- Hardly any help to be found
Returns unfortunately
Pro
- Design
Contra
- Since update Windows Build 20H2 the shortcuts no longer work
Top
Definitely works better than the one from HP (with an HP notebook)
Actually Good
Very good, but the line for drawing is blurred (only with slow lines).
With the Book 2 and 3Pro
- Writing feeling
- Charging via USB-C
- Not so cold to hold
- 3 extra pen tips included

The battery life remains to be seen.

Wacom Stylus Ink Plus is as it should be. Perfectly matched for my LG V60. Highly recommended
Pro
- LG V60 compatible
- Integrated battery with charging cable
- additional attachments
- Lies well in the hand
Good product I recommend
Uses on Windows surface 6
Very sensitive to touch, which is good for graphic design, but a bit more annoying to write smoothly and cleanly without linking words (but works fine too)Pro
- Pleasant
- Light
- Aesthetic
- For drawing (ex. very good gradient)
- With windows surface 6: ✔️
- Very sensitive to contact
- Reloadable
Contra
- Less for taking notes (e.g. on onenote)
- Very sensitive to contact

Unusable with the Lenovo ThinkPad L390 Yoga, can be paired and used though. However, the problem is that massive waves are drawn when straight strokes are made slowly. It is therefore unsuitable for drawing. The pen included with the L390 Yoga does not have this problem (but is smaller and does not fit well in the hand).
Pro
- Fits well in the hand
Contra
- Tracking errors at low speed
Works tiptop with Asus ROG Flow x16 - Digital Art
Pro
- No jitter, super pressure detection
- great resistance of the rubber tip
- "Tilt" works out of the box on my laptop despite no official support
Contra
- None?
Standby unusable, on/off switch missing
Pairs cleanly only with one device, sometimes needs resets (tested with Lenovo IdeaPad C340 with Touch), pairing fiddly.
-No on/off switch and standby mode eats a lot of power > Is constantly empty.And the battery indicator in Windows is not reliable. The user interface is unclear (over-implified), a bit confusing, you only have 2 buttons for everything (pairing, power on, 2 Bluetooth modes).
-Overall overpriced for the fiddly operation, no fun, oversimplified user interface, no control when the thing is switched on/off and when it makes a pairing, also a reset would be helpful.Pro
- When pairing works, you can draw well with it, precise
- Lies well in the hand (metal, rubberised grip, triangular shape)
- Aesthetics
Contra
- Standby
- On/Off switch missing, user interface unclear
- Battery indicator in Windows does not update automatically.
- Bluetooth pairing does not always work.
