Is this similar to the s-pen and similar wacom stylus?Has anyone tried it on other devices (samsung note, surface pro)? Why does it need a battery?

It is similar but they do not work interchangeable at all. The battery I am not sure of but the battery in mine has been going strong for two years now. Overall better than my Surface Pro pen but not as integrated into Android as the spen

This does not work with s-pen or any other wacom digitizer. It DOES work with the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.

This will only work with the HTC flyer. I have tried it on a Samsung galaxy S2-3-4. as well as other models. it will only work with the flyer.

To the best of my knowledge, it only works on HTC Flyer, HTC Jetstream, & HTC View. I have Samsung Note, Fujitsu T-730, HTC Flyer & Jetstream, all of which have a digitalized screen and pen functions. The HTC pen is a unique device for HTC products. And it's a damn good pen other than the fact that it requires an expensive battery that's more difficult to find. No idea why it needs a battery; I'm not an electrical engineer who specialize in computer hardware.

Yes, It is similar but at the same time not so similar to the S-Pen and Wacom stylus. The HTC Scribe, like the S-Pen, can detect pressure so it is very convenient when it comes to sketching or taking notes. Unfortunately, I tried to use it but it did not work with the Microsoft Surface Pro or Samsung Note. I'm not exactly sure as to why it requires a battery though. It may be because of the technology they used back when the tablet first came out.

hi, this isn't a stylus it works on a digital graphics pad not a tablet. Its basically like a mouse for your computer but in pen form it has to have a graphics pad, in order to work, that is hooked to your computer and you use it for the touch interference. Sorry it will not work on a touch screen surface of a tablet, cellphone or touch screen computer :( I hope I helped.

Is that a tablet. If so im not sure. I think the tablets r much bigger stylus pens. I ordered this for my note 2 phone was wayy to small. Had to actually call samsung n pay a pretty penny for the right one.

the Samsung stylus I have doesn't have a pen! However, it's incredibly smooth and certainly worth the investment.

Unfortunately no, the pen requires batteries. It comes with one battery when you order it.

This isn't that kind of stylus. It's an (advanced) basic stylus with no smart button at all. So, the answer is yes, in that it works perfectly well with iPad, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, etc., but you do not receive the functionality of other Wacom stylus devices...

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 _and_ a Surface Pro 3. The pens are NOT compatible. The Surface pro 3 pen has a battery, the Surface Pro 2 pen (the one that you asked the question about) does not. So, you might want to rephrase your question to indicate which Surface Pro you have - the purchase date and memory size is not enough to decide which pen to use. BTW: I like both of these devices, although the Surface Pro 3 has become my most used computer.

It does not come with a stylus... This Convertible Ultrabook only uses the touch-screen, and does not have a separate digitizer for a dedicated stylus. While you can get styluses that emulate a finger, they do not work... if you're looking for a stylus that acts like a pen, you need a different computer with the proper digitizer, like the Microsoft Surface Pro (which has two... a touch one just like this one, and a separate one just for the stylus)

I haven't used my graphic pad in some time, so I'm looking for the pen right now. However, I'm about 90% certain it uses something like a AAA battery. The pen is fatter than a normal gel pen, and I'm pretty sure the size is to accommodate a battery.

Any 'rubber tip' stylus will work, about as good as a finger(seriously, those things are junk)... To really enjoy drawing, or note taking, you should get an HTC stylus. Only the htc stylus will take advantage of the active digitizer (though I have heard rumors that some dell tablet pens will work aswell, not sure for myself though, so search around).

oK I have pen, how does it work? Kids lost my original Bamboo stylus. I ordered the EP155EK for my Wacom tablet. But it does nothing. Surely, I'm doing something wrong?

I'm not sure what page your referring to but they use a AAAA that's right four, a (4) AAAA battery. A AAA battery would make the stylus too big in diameter too hold comfortably. A 9 volt would be out of the question as both the AAA asked about and the AAAA actually used are 1.5 volt not 9. It seems to work well on an HTC phone, Dell 7 tablet w/windows 8.1 and an HP 10 inch Android. That's a mix for you

No, but a stylus is about $10. Do yourself a favor. Buy the Microsoft Surface.

I have the Microsoft Surface RT version and I've never used a stylus with it (always use my fingers). I'm going to try one out just out of curiosity now; I just need to find a stylus now. I have never had any problems using my fingers, and my kids have never complained about the touch/response.

Sorry but no it won't. The Tab series does not have the Wacom hardware to detect the S-Pen and only uses capacitive input (finger). There are a number of styluses on the market for capacitive displays and a Google search for Best Capacitive Stylus will give you a number of reviews.If you want accurate pen input with exceptional (almost perfect) palm rejection then getting a Galaxy Note is your best bet.Sean

There's only one button on the pen. You can program it to whatever you like just like the wacom stylus pens. I use the pen with my Surface Pro. On the surface pro you can have the pen tip act as a right click by pressing down on it. It takes some getting used to. I've been using wacom tablets for 6-7 years and I'm happy with this pen. My biggest grip is that it doesn't come with a button on the back of the pen (to use as an eraser). Overall a really nice pen. Much better than the one that comes with the Surface pro.

Yes, the pen should work automatically. no charging, no batteries, no alternative source of power. Make sure your wacom is of the same make and model needed for this pen, and also double check the driver that's being installed on your computer to use the pen. If your package didn't come with a separate disc to install a driver, you can still do a google search to find it online. It's a free download. I hope that helps.
