Customer Review

I tested on an iPad and iPhone with various apps (Good Notes, PDF Expert etc.).

It turned out quickly that the Wacom Bamboo CS-160 is not suitable for handwritten notes.

The reasons I will call:

Thus, the display responds to the input, it is necessary that you exert a clearly noticeable pressure on the screen, otherwise the pen will not be recognized. When natural writing so lacking in some letters of the beginning and the end, because at the beginning of the letter of a word and end up practicing less pressure. When writing on a piece of paper this is illustrated by the fact that the stroke of a pen is thinner. Here the pin is unfortunately not recognized and therefore has a half letters.

One tries automatically to solve this problem by exerting more and faster printing and then pushes continuously with the metal edge on the display. Because normally you hold the pen at an angle, as well as any normal pen, and so you constantly hear a clunk on the display and scrapes with the metal edge on the display. That so can become scratched, should be clear.
In addition, of course, annoying the constant and annoying sound of metal on glass.

One would either have to make the tip-resistant, so you do not come to the glass to the metal or to make the metal rim further upward or inward.
Alternatively, the pin would have to be recognized in less pressure.

This combination makes the stylus for most people useless.
Who needs the stylus only for touching or holding the pen while writing upright, can hereby be satisfied by a quality manufacturer, I expect just at this price far more.

I would like to keep secret not that the pin otherwise affects quality and a decent weight brings, but because the function is not given acceptable, I will return the pin.

Incidentally, the stylus is relatively short, which, however, has not bothered me.
