If you just connect the Bamboo Ink via Bluetooth and use the Native Windows Ink Drivers for your Bamboo Ink Stylus, you should have no problems what so ever using it on your Windows 10 device. This is true only if you attempt to use the Wacom drivers. I made this mistake right after I purchased my Laptop and the Bamboo Ink, and was about to return the Bamboo Ink because when I contacted Wacom (which I had forgotten all about until Crash reminded me about them), Wacom told me that the Bamboo Ink does NOT support Windows 10 devices. Window Ink devices generally have native support for the Wacom Bamboo Ink Stylus and installing the Wacom drivers may cause the Stylus to not work at all!
I appreciate you finding that for me!Ī word of advice for anyone that may have a Windows device (touchpad, laptop etc) that supports Windows Ink and who have purchased the Wacom Bamboo Ink Stylus - DO NOT INSTALL THE WACOM DRIVERS until you have tried to use the Stylus first.
Perfect! Thank you Crash! I had not realized until after that it was made by Wacom because I found the manual that came with the Stylus so completely useless that I put it somewhere that I can no longer recall where I put it! lolīut that was exactly what I was looking for. I look forward to anyone sharing their experience with them. And its pressure sensing turns every stroke with Bamboo Ink into a precise digital reflection of your ideas. Three different nib types – soft, medium and firm – allow for a personalized, authentic on-screen feel. PS - I finally found something on the Bamboo site that I missed the first time around that does in fact describe what the different tips are however, it does not elaborate as to which tips is which and when one should choose one over the other possibly because this is likely a user preference, so this is where I defer to your expertise as users (if there are any users of them here) that can help me understand what you might use each tip for and which tip is which.īamboo Ink is a pen – the most intuitive and natural tool you can use to write, sketch and annotate. I have searched Google and even went to the Bamboo website but was unable to figure out what the difference in the tips are and when one should choose one over the other.ĭoes anyone happen to use a Touchscreen device that uses Windows Ink and the Bamboo Stylus that can give me some info regarding the different Stylus tips? I have tried using each one with an app that supports the touchscreen and Windows Ink (ie use of the Pen). I am guessing that they each have a different hardness, and possibly size of the tip that comes in contact with the touch screen, but I honestly do not know much more than that. To the best of my knowledge the 2 tips that are the same seem to be the "default" tip, but not sure about the others.
What I don't understand is what are the different tips used for. 2 of the tips are identical and the other 2 a slightly different, 1 is even a different color (gray) and appears to be make from a different material. What I don't have any reference points for is that the Sytlus comes with a total of 4 tips. My laptop supports Windows Ink, and I have found that the Bamboo Ink Stylus works fantastically well. I always like to start here at DLSR as you guys usually provide the best ans unbiased answers. The Wacom Bamboo Ink pen is available from Microsoft Stores and Best Buy for $69.99.I haven't a clue what the best forum to ask this question in would be, so I thought i would start in the Hardware forum in hopes that you guys might be able to help or point me to a better forum.
The full list of compatible devices is below. The latter can be used to open the Ink Workspace, start a Screen Sketch, or open Sticky Notes, with a press, long press, or press and hold action, respectively.Īs mentioned, the Wacom Bamboo Ink only works with computers that support Windows Ink, and not all of them do. The Wacom Bamboo Ink comes with your standard active stylus features, like a pressure-sensitive tip, two customizable buttons at the side, and a Bluetooth button at the top.
