Use like a tablet? I'm wondering if I can use this like a (relatively) inexpensive tablet. My needs are nowhere near professional level, I just want something I can draw on with a stylus that is reasonably responsive, affordable, and portable. Can this do that? Am I dreaming to think a product can do that around this price range? Thanks! Use like a tablet? I'm wondering if I can use this like a (relatively) inexpensive tablet.

I found the company website (google "mimo monitors" and it'll come right up). The only thing that makes it NOT like a tablet is that it's not pressure-sensitive. So, it won't distinguish between a light stroke and a heavier stroke, for example. It's precise enough to do handwriting recognition and some basic art. Personally, I'm going for it, but I'm going to try the "iMo Touch" model (which costs $20 less, but doesn't have free shipping through amazon) because it comes off of its stand entirely to be used more like a tablet.Glad someone else was wondering, and I hope that helps!

Hi deuse! Yes, all of our stylus pens are made to be used on any capacitive touchscreen device (so basically any screen you would use your fingertip on). If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

this is only touch. you can use the generic stylus like those you use on the IPAD but this is not like a surface or a note with digital ink.

You can use a pen or stylus with it but it does not have sensitivity settings like a pad would. If your looking to be able to get different brush strokes with pressure input this will not do that.

No, the Maglus isn't good for drawing. When drawing, marks must be placed precisely. The exact place the stylustouches the screen is hidden UNDER the broad Maglus tip. Everyone is aware of that, surely.

This product needs to be connected to a computer. If you want to be 100% mobile I suggest the Surface Pro which is what I have for doing art on the go. It is about the same size but its a tablet/digitizer in one. If you are okay with being stationary go with the Yiynova, you cannot beat the price. Heads up though, the drivers for the Yiynova cause some games to crash, if you are a PC gamer just be aware of that.

I do not use the tablet for drawing. I use it most always for 3D modeling rather than a mouse. My uneducated guess is that it is an excellent and less expensive choice for graphics/drawing. My only complaint is a lack of a software settable pressure threshold as the pen engages with the slightest touch to the tablet.

This stylus will not respond like a pen or pencil on paper, but if you are using an iPad or similar device, you will find that it is better than your index finger. Pressure is required to use the stylus and you speed will be a result of how evenly you apply your strokes. I find the stylus is very good with sketching mores than writing.

It's to write with. Like on paper. As for the stylus tip I don't cover it. There's no need to. But you might want to try a band aid on it. Lol. Hope this helps you out.

Hi. I am so new to this . I have an air and it is great to point and pull with. It works great on the keyboard however I can go quicker on the keyboard with using several fingers. I haven,t got the left thumb down yet. Plus it is very pretty. I don,t know that the round end would work well to draw with if you are using that type of program. Keep in mind I am still fairly illiterate with all these devises . I didn't,t like the floppy end. My understanding is it plugs in to the headphone jack to help you keep up with it. Haven,t looked yet to serif it can be removed. Hope this is some help. Blessings Hi. I am so new to this . I have an air and it is great to point and pull with.

Note = phone, tab = tablet :]Tablet is probably more capable, but I don't own the note and don't use my tablet for drawing. Sorry if I'm wrong. Definitely Google it just to be sure!

They fit very differently in your hand. To be fair I've only used a Bamboo stylus for desktop designing / with my Wacom. I have an Adonis stylus for iPad that's more like a pen, but I dislike the plastic disc at the point (to prevent damage / noise on screen contact). Pencil is my favorite for sketching, brainstorming and pulling together concept art on my iPad. I like the way it feels in my hand better.

I think it would be great for drawing/doodling! I got mine and I LOVE it. And I'm by no means a professional. Comes with two fairly easy to use programs/software. It takes a few days to get used to, because you aren't looking at the tablet when you draw, but once you get the hang of it, it works like a charm! I think it'd be a great gift for your daughter, especially if she wants to get more into digital art. :D

It works good with the sketchbook for android app that I use on a dragon touch 10.1 inch tablet. I haven't finished complete sketches with it yet because of all the features that comes with it, but am able to color scanned or photographed pencil sketches from my portfolio. The only difference I'm unsure of is that I have a screen protector on my tablet and the pen to screen interaction might be a little off if you don't wipe your screen first since the tip is micro fiber. But all in all I think it's a good pen because it has a sharper and more visible point to allow fine long strokes, but depending on your software that can be easily fixed with zoom and a range of point size features.

You cannot. You may only use the stylus to move the cursor. This can be good for when you are drawing or something that way the touch of your hand does not interfere with what you're doing!

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?

Honestly, it is more like a Mouse. If your software allows the ability to draw like powerpoint would, or paint it works. So if word has the option to allow you to draw freehand It might work. Honestly this was a great tool, my wrist didn't hurt that much. THe problem is that it does not have a scrolling option, and also the life time it has. It lasted me only 6 months. You know how optical mouses die after a while. (Usually a couple of years.) Well, my i-pen died 6 months after I purchase it, making it an expensive mouse for it's use. I have windows vista and it worked fine with my OS, that is, while it was still alive. Hope this helps you a bit. Good luck. Honestly, it is more like a Mouse.
