I can say for certain that it will work without a battery as a stylus....just pulled my battery out to see if it would work...I am typing this on my iPad with the Hex JaJa....no battery....works beautifully. The pressure sensitivity is VERY nice...usually if you use it with an art app, you have to dial it in a bit...but once you've got it in the sweet spot it is dead on.

While I can't say for certain b/c I haven't used mine really since I bought it (going to write a review of it in a few moments) - it should work like any other stylus pen just without the pressure sensitivity - the battery only works for the mechanism inside the pen to convert how much pressure you're applying : )

I have been using the ViewSonic touchscreen for about a year. It works okay but you still need the mouse for some things. I've never tried to use a stylus. No reason why it shouldn't work. It works with any impedance screen.

That is exactly what I have and it works great. Im going to buy some more to have as spares. I've had the stylus for a few months now and haven't noticed any wear on it at all yet. And I use it alot!

It can affect things technically I suppose. The point that the pressure happens on the screen first shows up. If you are aware of it there is not a problem. You just can't rest on it really. I haven't had an issue with that. I think it reads fingertip and stylus better.

Yes, it seems pretty responsive to a stylus. I use mine occasionally and have no problems.

my experience with stylus is not good. It works perfectly with finger but not with my stylus (I have used both rubber end and apex fine point).

Yes, it comes with an active digitizer stylus. The stylus takes a AAAA battery (which is also included) but the level of control is much more precise compared to a stylus that's just a piece of plastic. I've heard the battery in the stylus lasts a couple of months but I haven't owned it long enough to confirm.

Once the stylus touches the screen it starts to work. You don't have to push hard, works when I hold the pen lightly. If you have a screen protector you can write or push as hard as you need to just like when your writing on paper. Hope I answered your question.

How do you manage to use it without the stylus? My stylus tapping no longer works though the buttons and 5-way are fine. Now what?

I have used this stylus with my tablet and it works just fine. I haven't had any issues using mine at all. Hope that helps.

Don't know how it works with a stylus because I never use a stylus. It is pretty sturdy in all positions & feel like it would be O.K. with a stylus if I had to guess.

Yes, however this is just a generic touch stylus and not compatible with the S-pen extra features like pressure sensitivity.

The stylus replaces all actions that your fingertips would perform. Be sure to have the rubber tip touch the screen. If you are using an App that allows for freehand writing, you may want to check with the App to see what it recognizes or what needs to be used to "write" in the App. Hope this helps...

Only as a normal stylus because you would need to be on at least iOS 7 to run the smart apps and software required to make the drawing pressure sensitivity functional. So you would be better off with a soft-grip standard stylus and spend less money on it. A great wide-body stylus with grip and ergonomic design is the Cosmonaut. Well worth the $30. Or Wacom's other economical stylus' are good too. Happy shopping. :-)

Only as a regular stylus. Pressure sensitivity and all other bluetooth features will not work. The API is designed specifically for iPad.

You can use any stylus that's compatible with a capacitive touchscreen. It doesn't have any kind of special wireless stylus support, so you couldn't, say, pair a Wacom stylus to it and get pressure sensitivity settings, but you can use apps like Papyrus or Bamboo Paper with a regular squishy capacitive stylus. Hope that helps! :>

No battery needed. it's just a regular stylus. the brush side isn't that great.
