BAMBOO INK STYLUS REVIEW WINDOWS 10
BAMBOO INK STYLUS REVIEW PLUS

The pen tip is a hard plastic tip that glides smoothly on the glass, thankfully not slippery. The pen is always on so there's no need to power it on. Battery life, according to my experience with other styluses that use the same battery, is around six months to a year. The pen uses one AAAA battery which is removable. To reset the pen if something's not working as expected, just press and hold the two side buttons to reset the pen. Microsoft Windows do have customisation for stylus but I can't tell you the customisation possible because I don't have any Windows tablet currently to test. Most apps don't actually allow you to customise the shortcuts for the buttons. Sometimes the same button can function as an eyedropper, a right click or eraser or something else. What shortcuts you can get will depend on the apps you use. There are two side buttons for shortcuts. It has a nice weight to it and is comfortable to hold. The pen has a cylindrical metal body with matte textured surface and excellent build quality. So if you can find the Lenovo Precision Pen 2 ( review) at a good price, you should probably skip the Wacom Bamboo Ink 2nd gen.

The Lenovo Precision Pen 2 released recently (bought at US $50 as a bundle) is also more affordable and has Wacom AES 2 (with tilt support) instead of Wacom AES 1. US $50 for a stylus is quite reasonable considering the Apple Pencil v1 and Microsoft Surface Pen are both US $99. The price will vary depending on where and who you buy the pen from. My pen was bought from AliExpress for US $50 including shipping. Lenovo, Dell, HP) but it's likely you can do so since it's Windows Ink support is specifically mentioned.

I'm not sure if you can use them with other Windows 10 tablets from other brands though (e.g. Since all the Wacom Bamboo Ink stylus supports Microsoft Pen Protocol, they can be used with Microsoft Surface devices running Windows 10.

Bamboo Ink Plus: Supports Microsoft Ink Protocol, Wacom AES v2.

Drawing performance improved significantly.

Bamboo Ink 2nd gen: Supports Microsoft Ink Protocol, Wacom AES v1.

Bamboo Ink 1st gen: Supports Microsoft Ink Protocol, Wacom AES v1.

Confusing!ДЄnyway, here are the main differences between these three styluses: And Bamboo Ink Plus's pen clip is a flat piece of metal.

It seems like the upgraded version of 2nd gen Bamboo Ink is called Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus instead of Bamboo Ink 3rd gen. The 2nd gen's pen clip looks like a paper clip whereas the 1st gen's clip is a piece of flat metal. The 2nd generation Wacom Bamboo Ink has better accuracy compared to the 1st gen Wacom Bamboo Ink that I reviewed a few years ago.Дesign for both 1st and 2nd gen Wacom Bamboo Ink (above) look quite similar so don't get the wrong one.
