Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have owned my iPad 4th Generation for a while now and do a lot of sketching and detailed work on it to move away from the traditional method of drawing to a more cleaner, faster way of drawing. Because of my hobby, I have had to buy numerous styluses from the Targus to Adonit to Hex3 to Wacom. My review will only be from my experiences with the stylus and how I feel about it as opposed to my feelings towards the brand. I would first like to make it clear that I absolutely love Wacom to death! Their graphics tablets are incredible and I plan on purchasing the Cintiq Companion for Windows 8 when it comes out. However, this stylus for me was a huge disappointment, definitely not the quality I'm used to from Wacom. There are a few things that I like about it but overall the experience was pretty unpleasant. I will list the Pros and Cons for the stylus (in my opinion). Pros: -Very comfortable in the hand. Fits my hand perfectly well. -Well balanced. Doesn't feel too heavy or too light. -Comes with 2 extra nibs whereas most pressure sensitive styli only come with 1 if one at all. -Comes with a protective case that holds the stylus, 5 nibs, and a battery. I LOVE this case and it feels really sturdy and very portable. -Pressure sensitivity is perfect. I can clearly see the transitions from light to dark or thick to thin. -Buttons on the stylus are very responsive. Cons: -Stylus feels cheap. I don't know what type of material Wacom used but it feels like a very cheap plastic and I am almost positive it would break if I dropped it. -Battery is not rechargeable. Come on Wacom, we're in 2013 almost 2014, buying batteries for devices each time they die is just unacceptable to me. -You have to press down too hard just for the pen to register. -The nib, because you have to press down so hard to get it to make a mark, it makes the nib wear down faster on the stylus. I heard they were the same material as the nibs on the Bamboo styli they have for the iPad and those nibs are terrible! -Smoothness because of how hard I have to press down, it makes it harder to do sketching or making quick lines like writing. -The tip doesn't glide across the screen, the screen kind of pulls the nib around when moving it because of how much pressure you have to apply just to make a light mark. -The buttons feel loose. I accidentally hit them numerous times trying to draw and eventually had to turn the stylus a different way in my hand causing it to feel uncomfortable. -Instructions are horrible! They don't even have any words on them and no sense of direction to help the user. Had no clue how to work this stylus and had to resort to trial and error and online forums just to find out how. Overall I would not recommend this stylus. I think Wacom should just stick to what they know which is computer graphics tablets. I was very disappointed to see such a poor quality product come from such a high quality company. So far I have used all the pressure sensitive styli for the iPad. I used the Pogo Connect, Hex3 Jaja, Adonit Jot Touch 4 (I skipped the first one because of how bad it was), and now Wacom's Intuos Creative Stylus. The only good one I would recommend is the Jot Touch 4, if you have a Bluetooth 4.0 iPad. If you don't, I wouldn't recommend one at all, the Jaja is the only one that will work on older model iPads and that one is the worst out of the bunch. It was a poor quality stylus AND a poor quality company. Unless Wacom makes a stylus that is more similar to the Jot Touch 4 or their Bamboo Stylus Feel for stylus enabled devices, I can't possibly recommend this product. Sorry Wacom but this one is going back to the store.
