Ok, I'll start with the pen review before diving into my frustration with Wacom. The pen is really solid, I got it for $30 and it's really nice to work with on my Lenovo Yoga 730 2-in-1. The pen has a hard, smooth tip which I prefer for working digitally, lets the pen slide nicely instead of having friction. I included work in progress pic, (fanart of Alex Ahad's Octavia) where I started, inked, colored and started shading with this pen only and I've been very happy with the performance. There's no disconnects, no weird bugs, I can easily and consistently ink with no issues. The activation force is also very low so it starts drawing when the pen touches the glass. For $30? I'm VERY happy with this pen. Biggest complaint I have is that they give you a pen stand that is honestly a headscratcher. It ..plugs into your USB port and you can slide it in the side or put it in the top. This just seems like it'd damage the USB port of anything were to bop it the right way. Maybe that's just me. It comes with 3 replacement nibs and a tool to remove them, very good. There is a second version to this pen which- I saw reviews say has a rubberized tip, so maybe that's for you but I don't like adding artificial friction to my art. It's supposed to have more pressure range but honestly 2k is more than fine for me. Though, the box for the pen claims this one can do upto 4000 levels depending on your laptop. How do you tell that? No idea. On to my frustration with wacom: I got 2 pens from wacom, a $100 pen, Bamboo Ink which was pretty good, my problem was it felt like you had to activate it by pressing it, it didn't start drawing till you felt a very slight give and it just did not feel natural or good. It made it hard to get things right. For $100? That's incredibly disappointing. The Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus was $50 and it wrote just about as good as this pen, however it took me 3 attempts to get one that wasn't defective and yes I tried it on another laptop- of a person it ALSO took 3 pens to get one that worked (also it died in 3 months so, great QC Wacom. Wacom's pens also are buggy as heck. If you rotate your display and the display changes? The Wacom pens will both require you to restart the art software OR the laptop, and neither work with Miracast (wireless display adapter). If you turn it on? It'll be a good 2 inches to the side of where you draw. Which is annoying because it's a good way to put some video or references on a TV while you work. The lenovo pen which, I believe is wacom based tech, works with miracast on and I've not had a single disconnect problem or any accuracy problems even when letting the screen rotate. I ran it through anything I could think of and I'm happily drawing away in Clip Studio Paint the entire time. Get the wacom driver from the windows store and it'll work perfectly with this pen. I didn't have to do any set up at all besides that, put the pen to glass and it was drawing. The wacom pens are going to be tossed in a drawer as back ups at best but this lenovo pen I'm happy to use as a tool for art. Hopefully this helps someone because I know how Wacom gets talked up but I've honestly switched off their stuff since I, and my friends and so on have had enough problems for their excessively expensive devices to be avoided. Uh, ending rant here.

I have a Lenovo - Yoga 7 2-in-1 - Copilot+ PC - 16" Full HD LCD Touchscreen Laptop - AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 and ordered the Lenovo Yoga Pen. Once I unlocked my laptop and got the pen close to the screen, the pen auto connected and started working immediately! Very easy to use and the pen feels sturdy when using! The pen was already charged too. Very smooth when writing and feels comfortable in my hand. I am so happy i placed this order and got me a pen stylus. Usually, these Lenovo Yoga 2in1 laptops come with a stylus, but only if you order it straight from Lenovo. I bought mine from BestBuy, so unfortunately, my laptop didnt come with the pen, hence, why i had to order one.

Very fast delivery. Pen is excellent quality and works perfectly with my Lenovo 2-n-1.

TL;DR While it's not explicitly listed as supported, the active pen 2 works perfectly fine with the X1 Yoga 3rd gen. The Active Pen 2 is a step up from the included in-body stylus on my X1 Yoga (3rd Gen). It is larger - in barrel diameter and length (6" from tip to end button) as well as weight - making it significantly more comfortable to hold and use, particularly for longer periods of time. It has 3 buttons: 2 on the barrel arranged up and down, and one on the end. These buttons can be programmed with a set collection of actions, as dictated by either windows or Lenovo software that can be downloaded quite easily from the product's support page. It comes with a plastic clip to attach it to your computer, and 3 extra tips. A tool to help you change tips is also included. 2 small, round, flat batteries come in the package (these make the top button work), and it requires 1 AAA battery for the barrel buttons, which is not included. Pairing is quite simple, requiring a user to press and hold the top button until the tiny LED light on the upper part of the barrel blinks. A windows computer will pick it up when scanning for new BT devices at that point. As I noted above, it is fairly comfortable to write with, and it glides across the screen easily. I have used this with 2 different screen protectors - a matte finish anti-glare one, and a clear one - and while it felt different with both, neither hindered it's operation. The pen writes and feels pretty good. With the matte screen protector, it felt a bit more like paper, with a bit more of a tactile, rougher feel to how it writes. On the smooth clear protector, it felt like writing on a white board or a screen, less familiar. In either case though, the pen tip was picked up reliably, and I was pleasantly surprised at how natural it felt, given past experiences with older technology. I have not tried writing without a screen protector, as some research suggests that doing so might mark lines in the glass; this is something I'm not willing to risk. Assuming the program you are using it with supports pressure sensitivity, I've found it sensitive to increased or decreased pressure. I don't really have a reference to compare it to, but I didn't feel like I had to mash the tip into the screen to get a bolder line. I have a few gripes, however. For one, there's not really a good way to carry the pen without feeling like you'll either ruin a USB port or lose the pen. The included holder, while adequate for a free add on, is simply a plastic clip that inserts into a USB port. The pen inserts into it and is held there by friction. This not only feels cheap, but it also doesn't feel that secure, and it blocks access to other buttons and ports on the side of the machine when you're not using the pen. I also cannot find a way to turn off the pen. While I haven't burned through a battery yet, I can imagine that inadvertent button presses do not promote the longevity of this battery. This does make it hard to put the pen into a bag without some sort of case or sleeve; otherwise, buttons can get pressed, and depending on what one has programmed the buttons to do, this can get annoying. For example, I have the top button programmed to open One Note if pressed - if this gets inadvertently pressed, it just keeps popping one note open. As a personal preference, I'd prefer if this pen came with a clip - this might mitigate some portion of the above two concerns. All in all, other than a few very small non-writing related things, the Active Pen 2 is a pretty nice tool. If you do a lot of digital drawing or precise photo editing, it will be tremendously useful to you. If you want to write digitally, this is a comfortable way to do it, though, there are probably cheaper solutions out there that don't have the pressure sensitivity that this pen does. If you just need to bust out a stylus once in a while to mark something up, this is probably too expensive of a solution, and one that will be a bit of a pain to carry with your computer. I wish it came with a better attachment tool or a case, but I also recognize that because it's designed to work with a variety of computers, it's hard to develop a generic solution.

Works perfectly with my Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1. I love the weight and it worked immediately upon putting the batteries in. It has palm rejection and the buttons for erasing and right clicking work perfectly. On another note, I don't care for the Lenovo Smart Note app so if you are looking for a replacement, use Inkodo!

Original Good

Penna Lenovo fantastica! Comprata insieme al Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 non consapevole che il computer arrivava già con una penna. Penna di qualità, che necessita una sola batteria AAAA (già inclusa). Si svita la parte superiore della penna dove si inserisce la batteria. La penna ha un' ottima risposta ed è precisa, ha 2 tasti che si possono personalizzare attraverso l'app "Lenovo Pen Settings" scaricabile sul computer. La penna arriva anche con un "reggi-penna" di plastica che si può inserire in una porta USB per metterci la penna e averla a portata di mano.

It did not come with an instruction leaflet, however I went online and found it very easily. All you need to know is where to put the smaller round batteries in. Once that is done, rest is easy. It works a treat I am very happy with it.

I have a Lenovo Flex 14 2-in-1 laptop that came with the first Lenovo Active Pen which I've been using to take notes with OneNote and for digital art with Clip Studio Paint. Ever since I first got the laptop, the pen has had minor jumping and instability issues that have worsened over time, so I finally decided that it was time to upgrade to the Lenovo Active Pen 2. This was a great decision! The Lenovo Active Pen 2 does not have the same issues as the first pen, so I can enjoy a smooth writing and drawing experience. The tip is made of a rubbery material that introduces more friction than the hard tip of the first pen and the tip sinks into the pen less when pressed against the screen, so it feels much more pencil-like. This pen is a little bit longer than its predecessor, and I like the added weight more when I hold it. The two side buttons and the added back button are reminiscient of Microsoft's Surface Pen, but using this pen feels much better than the Surface Pen as well due to the lack of push-back on the tip of the Lenovo Active Pen 2. When used with my laptop model, this pen has minimal jitter and noticeably lower parallax than the first Lenovo Active Pen. From my own hands-on experience, the Apple Pencil brings the most authentic experience when it comes to pen-on-tablet usage, but the Lenovo Active Pen 2 feels very close if not on-par with the Apple Pencil. When compared to the first Lenovo Active Pen and the Microsoft Surface Pen, I definitely prefer the feeling and comfort of this Lenovo Active Pen 2.
