help Bamboo Stylus Duo FAQ
Does the Wacom Bamboo Stylus Duo work on an iPad screen?
Yes, the Bamboo Stylus Duo uses a capacitive rubber tip that interacts with iPad and iPhone touchscreens the same way your finger does. It does not support pressure sensitivity or palm rejection like the Apple Pencil, since it is a passive stylus rather than an active digitizer pen.
What is the difference between the Bamboo Stylus Duo and the Bamboo Fineline?
The Bamboo Stylus Duo is a passive capacitive stylus paired with a physical ballpoint pen, requiring no batteries or Bluetooth. The Bamboo Fineline is a Bluetooth-enabled smart stylus that supports pressure sensitivity and palm rejection within compatible Wacom-aware apps like Bamboo Paper.
Does the Wacom Bamboo Stylus Duo need to be charged?
No charging is needed for the stylus side because the capacitive tip works passively by mimicking the electrical conductivity of a fingertip. The ballpoint pen end uses standard ink refills, so the only maintenance is replacing the ink cartridge and occasionally the rubber stylus tip if it wears down.
Can I replace the ballpoint pen refill in the Bamboo Stylus Duo?
Yes, the ballpoint pen section uses a standard refill that can be replaced when the ink runs out by unscrewing the barrel. Wacom sells replacement refills, and some users report success with compatible generic mini-pen refills of similar dimensions.
