Some time ago we told you about the new Wacom digital pen, the Intuos Creative Stylus, and its promising specifications: Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, physical buttons with quick functions and the ability to detect up to 2048 different pressure levelsIn addition to the "palm rejection" function that prevents resting your hand on the screen of your iPad when writing is a problem. In Actualidad iPad we have been able to test a sample unit and we can confirm that it delivers what it promises.
The new Wacom stylus comes in a convenient plastic carrying case, along with an AAAA battery and two replacement erasers. The size of the stylus is no larger than most conventional styluses, and it is quite comfortable to handleAlthough it is true that until you get used to it, the physical buttons can be annoying if you accidentally press them, but it is something that is solved within a few minutes of using the pencil.
The pencil has Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, which is its main virtue and defect. This type of connection does not have to be linked to the device, but is linked directly from the application. But at the same time it means that it can only be used in compatible applications. Although being a Wacom accessory, application compatibility will not be an issue, in fact there are already several available in the App Store.
And why does a pen want Bluetooth connectivity? Well, not only so that the physical buttons work, but also so that depending on the pressure we exert when writing or drawing, the stroke is softer or more intense. No more drawing thick lines due to the huge rubber tip of the stylus. With the Intuos Creative Stylus the thickness is controlled by you.
But the best thing is to see how it works live, so we leave you with a video in which you can see these functions using the stylus on my iPad Mini. The price of the Stylus is $99,90, and it is only compatible with the iPad 3, 4 and Mini (and later), due to the Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. You can find it now on the official Wacom website.
