@HassanS Not sure if there is anything you can do but honestly the stylus performs really badly. After watching this video:

You'd expect it to at least perform like that but it doesn't. I've replaced the battery with a brand new Energizer AAAA which sort of helped compared to the no-name battery it got shipped with but still unusable for writing or drawing. It noticed that also it handles pretty poorly when doing any kind of loop or curve. Only thing it does not so poorly are straight lines which isn't much.

I do not recommend this product at all.

I just got the stylus and it is truly disappointing. I am using the stylus on my w700 at the moment of writing this comment and it would touch twice or more, or even does not register. Very disappointing product. It is at the point of unusable.

I just received mine but it doesn't work unless I hold it straight up. I have to press hard and it's very inaccurate and only works half the time. What's the warranty on this thing?

Got mine today. I am a bit disappointed. For some reason I have to apply quite a bit of pressure with the stylus for it to register fully otherwise its dots when I try to draw a line so writing is well not that great. Not sure if its my digitizers but tried to use em on a Asus T100TA, Nexus 7, and 5. Going to try it on my coworkers ipad later. I did notice if I hold only the clip end, the stylus doesn't work on its own so I assume its using the battery to not generate its own capacitive field but amplified one from your hand.

Does this stylus work for the iPad air as well? The Bamboo Stylus requires some force to use and my wrist gets tired from using it, can we use this stylus effortlessly?

I'm dropping in on this one. I'll post back here once it arrives and I try it with my hp win8 convertible. I bought it to take notes in class, but hate the cheep "blob" styli. In really hoping this works out! My class load in the fall is reeeeeeally diagram heavy (circuits, physics, calculus).

I'm guessing that this uses the electricity in the battery to trick the capacitive sensing screen into detecting a much more precise point. I haven't messed with capacitive in electronics so it's just a guess.

jaesondThe PinPoint utilizes battery power to create an electromagnetic field around the tip of the pen thus allowing it to be "seen" by a capacitive touchscreen. Most touchscreens have been developed to look for something the size of your finger. Pretty cool technology, actually and allows for a much thinner writing instrument then your finger
