Wacom Bamboo Stylus solo CS-100 stylus (for iPad, Smartphones & Tablets) (Electronics)

Customer Review

The Bamboo Stylus is Wacom's entry into the market of the stylus, especially by artists and creative, was expected for a long time.
While this is not as hoped revolutionary, but the Bamboo is quite convincing.

Appearance:
Wacom Typically you see the money has gone into the design, through the matted black / silver Texturierug he makes a damn fine impression.
The clip at the end acts in relation to the rest somewhat carelessly, however, it holds a surprise that can get over the ... more on that later

Processing:
Can be described as simply brilliant without much talk.
A very quality product, which one in no way holding "wrong" appears and can not feel any bumps, warping or other irritations.
The rubber tip looks very good Processed and has no cracks or other flaws.

Handling:
Here there is already the first, subjective, Schnitzer.
Wacom Bamboo advertises with "a narrower by 25% tip against other manufacturers' products" and it shows in direct comparison very clearly ... which, however, has also konsequezen.
It requires, at an applied display film to achieve a slightly higher pressure to a reaction as this is necessary for the products of other manufacturers, which can shrink the effective reduction of the area of ​​8mm on Felt 7mm, instead of the advertised 6mm.
To be fair, one should mention however, Wacom weißtin the manual suggests that there are slight restrictions protectors without foil is improving this Verhalteten ...
Even if the idea you have the rubber tip only deform as far up this enough space occupies itself, can not quite resist.
The frosted surface allows a second no feeling feel the Stylus not sure under control to have, but it feels as if you sweat more prolonged use of your fingers, and realized it more evident than in a smooth finish.
Both the weight and the balance can be impressed. The weight distribution is significantly Kopflastig what a pleasant writing / drawing feeling leaves and hand thus less tiring quickly let.
However, as usual, a short stylus the most in sizes hands a little longer would be allowed to fail.

Special features:
a very attractive gimmick that nowhere was mentioned, is the construction without question.
So you can not just unscrew the metal fixing the rubber head, suggesting a planned opportunity to exchange tips, but also the clip.
Fixed by a small cap, can by screw selbiger the clip without any problems ... slimming class thing, especially for larger hands.
Theoretically, it would be quite possible to use this thread to attach an extension of the Stylus ... who knows what Wacom so everything has been scheduled.

Conclusion:
Very beautiful, elegant and high-quality stylus can absolutely convince.
Minor flaws in the handling are quite get over, especially considering the construction and mechanical design that not only allows you to adjust to your own preferences, but also can speculate what might come yet ... Wacom experts know the "Bamboo" has always been only the beginning.
The wheel is not reinvented and about 25% schmallere peak, their use and whether this has really been achieved, one could argue, however, is also slightly narrower already a step in the right direction.
Price not cheap but you get a really appealing product and if it really will be possible to replace the rubber tip when this Broken to go, but in the long run to buy Cheaper than constantly new Stylus.

From my side a strong buy recommendation!

UPDATE:
Because another scratch test of another user (see comments), it seems this to be an exceptional case, which is why the following section is to evaluate wisely!

---- Important Supplement! ----
Now I still have to discover a rather large downside, the only thanks to a protective film took a happy ending ... which is a huge blunder in my eyes for a company like the Wacom so should not be.
The edge of the metal fixing the rubber head not only looks like she could leave scratches, she does it well!
At least if one is keeping the stylus in a relatively shallow angle, how to draw it as an artist and fro Tut to hatching, various lines, etc.
So it's caution and care must be taken not to let too shallow an angle.
I can not say how the surface of the iPad would react, certainly less sensitive than a protector, but may also not be a small scratch in a product in this price range, and so from a reputable company and certainly not ... here would Wacom rework.

So, do not fit on the angle is too shallow or used a stable protective film !!!

PS
Replacement tips (2 pcs per pack) to the Wacom e-store for the price of 4,90 excl. 1.95 shipping related, alternative sources of supply are not yet known to me until now.
