Review: Accurate, fast and responsive - Not compatible with my Envy 360 Convertible tho listed as suitable. To ensure the product wasn't fault I tested on work Lenovo ThinkPad and it works beautifully. Shame i couldn't keep it. Accuracy and speed better than Lenovos own stylus. Very good weight for handling. Comfy. Can be used either in wacom mode or Microsoft pen protocol mode. The only slight inconvenience is the location of the buttons as they end up on the same level as fingertip when holding. Could be higher but for that price and how responsive, fast and accurate it is, it can be forgiven.

To check if your device has pen support, right click on the 'Windows' icon (usually the bottom left of the screen) and choose System. Under the "Device specifications" heading there will be mention of pen support if the device has an active pen digitiser with the correct drivers installed. In summary, I expect the Bamboo Ink to work with Yoga 530 in with Bamboo Ink in Wacom AES mode, so long as the computer has pen support. **Q: Hi is this compatible with Lenovo c340 2 in 1 laptop?** A: Hi, thanks for your question.

This Wacom pen, when switched into Wacom AES mode (instead of the default Windows Ink) works immediately and (in a technical sense) perfectly. However, it's just not that good. I chose this pen (2nd gen, separate battery) over the rechargeable option because I like the idea of being able to carry a spare battery, however in hindsight the more expensive rechargeable pen might be a nicer option. The round, matt, solid aluminium of this pen barrel feels reassuring, like it will last a long time, but is cold in the hand every time I pick it up and because it is round you find yourself having to constantly look at it to rotate the buttons back under your fingers. A slightly triangular pen like the older design would be preferred here. The buttons don't feel particularly nice. They're very functional and click well, but plasticky. They don't feel long lasting. In terms of sensitivity it's just too sensitive at low pressure, and because of this it's much harder to draw fine lines than with the tiny pen that is included with my Thinkpad. As soon as you touch the surface you're immediately at about 20% thickness. I'm quite disappointed in this and it is taking some effort to re-learn. Even the lightest pressure producer thicker lines than I want. Adjusting the sensitivity in the control panel doesn't help because then I then lose the ability to draw thick lines. I can only assume the software modifies the pressure in a linear way rather than a logarithmic one. So far I can only get a range of maybe 80%. Either 20% to 100% or 0% to 80% depending on software. In terms of tracking however I've not experienced the problems a few other reviewers have mentioned, mine is consistently smooth, fast and accurate, but I will note that power-saving affects pen response speed. Definitely turn power saving off or connect your tablet/laptop to a power supply. All-in-all I'm not actually sure this is an upgrade. Maybe my opinion will cool off over time, maybe I will get used to it, but right now I'm just not very impressed. It's OK. It works. But it's nothing special. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wacom Bamboo Ink-Active Stylus (2nd Generation, with 4,096 Pressure Levels for Natural Writing & Making Notes on Pen-Compatible Touchscreen Devices with Microsoft Windows 10), Gray - ANVOW Smart AAAA Battery Charger with 2 Counts Rechargeable AAAA Batteries - Ni-MH 1.2V 400mAh 1200 Cycles Surface Pen Active Stylus Rechargables Battery - Amazon Basics 4-Pack AAAA Alkaline High-Performance Batteries, 1.5 Volt, 3-Year Shelf Life --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/137228630-bamboo-ink-2nd-gen](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/137228630-bamboo-ink-2nd-gen) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
