About the Product
Bamboo Fineline is a smart stylus with pressure sensitivity, designed for the most natural writing feel on iOS touch devices possible, just like using a pen on a paper notebook. It is ideal for authentic writing, note-taking and visualising ideas.
The new Apple Pencil delivers pixel-perfect precision and industry-leading low latency, making it great for drawing, sketching, coloring, taking notes, marking up email, and more. And it’s as easy and natural to use as a pencil. The new Apple Pencil also features an intuitive touch surface that supports double-tapping. So now you can change tools without setting it down.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
Wacom Bamboo Fineline 3 Smart Stylus
  • This is a very useful Stylus, which I am using with my iPhone 7 Plus. Works perfect!
  • Feeling very much like an ordinary pen, I have pressure sensitivity and accuracy.
  • This pen is the first one which doesn't cause any problems, you are simply writing or drawing like on paper.
  • The main functionality for me for this is note-taking. Unfortunately, I have not had much joy using the stylus.
  • It didn't work on my iPhone 6 s plus as expected. The palm rejection was not working.

What customers say about "Features"
Wacom Bamboo Fineline 3 Smart Stylus
  • Battery lasts well in spite of the fact often I forget to turn it off.
  • Ipad is now a real notepad for me. Many thanks to the Wacom team who designed it.
  • I could pair it with apps via Bluetooth as well and pressure sensitivity worked with Adobe Sketch.
  • The lag between writing and the appearance of a line is so awful it looks like a kids scrawl.
  • The pen isn't compatible with any android devices.
