    I had the miix 510 for 3 years and the screen broke. So I had to switch to a new laptop. Got the HP Envy x360, and honestly I hadn't noticed how good the Lenovo active pen 1 actually is until I used the HP active pen because it is shocking. I've had it for 2 days but I am returning it just because of this issue. So it was quite enlightening to know that active pen 2 has improved upon their previous iteration. Hoping that's still supported and if not, the new generation laptops offer similar, if not better, functionality with their pens.

      I've used a passive stylus based tablet/laptop for a long time. A Lenovo Helix and Fujitsu Stylistic. They have zero jitter at all. I also have a Yoga 720 with an active stylus which has a lot of jitter. I can not write even notes with 720. The jitter is too annoying. The 720 is great, but not for notes.

    I have it delivered with my 7i 15" convertible. Good pen. Draws as good as MS Surface pen. The frictions feels very good. It's not like gliding on ice. The only thing Ibwant for the future is a long pen tip like with the Apple pen. While the tip isn't too short, it's still short like most of the tips of digital pens. The only one that looks as natural as a normal pencil is the one from Apple.

    -Is Lenovo Active pen 2 compatible with a Lenovo Yoga 530?
    -I already have Lenovo active pen 1 but I don't like how it works because both in Onenote and Bamboo ink, while you are writing, the classic windows arrow pointer appears and this fact comes off very annoying; do you think this problem occurs even with active pen 2? Thank you in advance.

      I just got mine today. Pen needs to be near your screen in order for the buttons to function.
      Under the pen setting you need to find where it says “Open App” where it will open the Lenovo pen app where you then can manage the button functions.

      I found something here: forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-C-E-K-M-N-and-V-Series/Pen-compatibility-with-ideapad-c340/td-p/4530698 , the active pen 1 or 2 should work fine!
