It showed up at Best Buy online a few weeks ago without a ship date and as I write this post, that retailer still shows the pen as a pre-order item with no store availability. Instead, he tweeted the news a few minutes after he got off the stage.įor the next nine months, we heard nothing until Wacom issued a release at CES that the pen was almost ready. But presenter Bryan Roper ran out of time during his Windows Ink demo and forgot to mention the new collaboration with Wacom. The dual protocol pen was originally supposed to be announced on stage by Microsoft at its Build conference in March, 2016. This on-again, off-again release is only fitting for a product that’s received very erratic promotion from the very start.

We’ve received unconfirmed reports that the pen won’t be available again until after its official release date June 1.

This new Bamboo Ink Stylus is available for preorder at $49.95. There is also a hover feature that helps to highlight or point the location of the stylus even when it’s not in touch with the screen. The touch is so nice that it feels just like writing on a paper. The nib of this bamboo stylus offers 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity. The two buttons provided are programmable so you can configure your favorite shortcuts or settings to it. If in case this Wacom Ink stylus doesn’t work, try changing the protocol settings and it will work.

Since it supports two protocols, you can simply press and hold the two buttons together to enter either mode. With the help of Wacom Active ES (Electrostatic) and Microsoft Pen Protocol (MPP) technology, it can support a wide range of devices. It is powered by a single AAAA battery that will last up to 15 months. Now, Wacom has launched a 2nd gen Bamboo Ink Stylus with a new aluminum look. Wacom Bamboo Ink stylus is a great option for Windows 10 users who work with Windows Ink or similar applications.
