Last year I decided to go absolutely paperless. It means that I won’t be buying/using papers, notebooks and pens voluntarily anymore. Instead, I have been making the most out of my touchscreen devices with compatible apps and of course my stylus ever since.

Although I was not exactly very trilled with the price of this Wacom Bamboo Solo Stylus, I gave this stylus a fair try. It turned out to be a great addition after all due to two main reasons.

Firstly, despite its name, Bamboo Solo Stylus for iPad, this stylus is absolutely versatile because you can use it for iOS, Android, Kindle and other touchscreen devices. Secondly, it has replaceable rubber tips. So, if/when the rubber tip tears off, you’ll just have to buy its new nibs, instead of buying a whole new stylus.

I have been using my Wacom Bamboo Solo Stylus with its original rubber tip for almost a year. Fortunately, it hasn’t worn or torn off yet, so, I am very happy with this stylus. Let’s go ahead and get to know this Wacom Bamboo Solo Stylus a little bit better:

Love this stylus because:

Elegant, modern and high-end design

Durable non-scratch rubber tip
Improves experiences with applications for sketching

This Wacom Bamboo Solo Stylus brings smooth, responsive and precise control to your touchscreen devices. It is an essential stylus for navigating, note-taking, personalizing, doodling, drawing, highlighting, sketching and other forms of creative expression.

The Wacom Bamboo Solo Stylus also features a responsive pen tip for an much improved pen-on-screen feeling on your device, which enhances your touchscreen experience. The rubber tip is just 6 mm wide, which allows you to write, draw and sketch with increased fineness and precision.

It is a high quality stylus out there with a smooth and natural feel. Its satin-textured metal body and balanced weighting combines comfort and elegance. The rubber tip is replaceable, which makes it easy for you to extend the life of your stylus.

Need improvements:

The Wacom Bamboo Solo Stylus is a high quality stylus when it comes to design, comfort and functionality but it is definitely not the cheapest stylus in the bunch. However, keep in mind that buying Wacom Bamboo Stylus Replacement Nibs is cheaper than (keep) buying a whole new stylus by other brands.

Is it the stylus for you?:

Yes, it is if you are looking for a stylus with a responsive and much improved pen-on-screen feeling on your touchscreen devices that combines comfort and elegance design. It is, however, not the right stylus for you, if you are not willing to spend $21.03 for a high quality and versatile stylus.

Conclusion:

The Wacom Bamboo Solo Stylus is an essential stylus for iOS, Android, Kindle and other touchscreen devices. It brings the best out of your touchscreen devices and makes it even more versatile by making it possible to take handwritten notes, edit documents and sketch out your very best ideas absolutely paperless.
