Cube iwork10 Stylus options and functions

[Luka Štemberger]

I bought an active stylus as I thought it might work according to some marketing graphics… Unfortunately, it does not. It only works with a proprietary passive stylus which looks funny with a weird plate on the tip of it. I am still waiting for it to be delivered to try it out, but it doesn’t look very practical. And also, I doubt palm rejection will work with a passive stylus, we’ll see. That being said, it’s not a deal breaker for me, I don’t think I would use the stylus that much,

The stylus wich is listed on Gearbest.com isn’t the original one. it is a generic stylus that you can find on aliexpress for every models.

I’ve bought the original stylus from cube store in china and it costs about 30$!

i will take some picture and write a mini review as soon as possible

I have bought the more expensive stylus from Gearbest for around $30 ( http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_211007.html ), but couldn´t get this stylus to work with my iWORK 10. No reaction at all. Is there anything else needed to get the stylus to work on Windows 10? I have also tried my Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 Wacom stylus, but this stylus also didn´t work. That´s why I bought now the cheaper http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-accessories/pp_314890.html stylus for just $4 and hope to receive them in the next days. Will let you know if that one works. 🙂

unfortunately the gearbest pen is the original one, it is not a special pen with 256 level pressure, just a generic one that you can find on aliexpress

i have bought it for 30$ from cube store in china

cube advertisement was FALSE, and it’s very unpleasant.

Problem is my pen is either faulty or the iwork10 Ultimate. But I can’t get it to work all the time, when it does it has the correct circle icon graphic feedback of the pen working as a bit and not touch. But it would seem this is enough proof to me that it supports the system that the Dell Venue 11 Pro uses or similar.

@faravahar Does it have a battery? It must be powered otherwise it will not work as it’s another tech like wacom.

That’s because it’s a Wacom pen for the i7 Stylus. Not Cube i10, which uses a battery operated active stylus. (I think it’s Goodix or the Dell one)

no, it is not an active stylus

Well I replaced the battery on my Dell Venue 11 Pro stylus and it worked just as bad as in my hands on video, but it definatly registers a few times. I think my Stylus is broken, it never worked on my V11P properly and was later revised. So it must be Synaptics tech used on it?

A comment on this video

says it has “Wacom Serial Pen Tablet HID Driver 10.0.10586.0”

 

Edit: more looking has shown that this tablet seems to be sold under the Trekstor brand in Germany, and they sell an active stylus for it.

Interesting, none of my Wacom stylus pens work on my unit. maybe the rebrand version has Wacom?

oh ye the trekstor one, i rememeber that… however that is NOT the same tablet, it has different hw specs and most likely a different digitizer

Question:

Is the screen a capacitive touch screen on iWork 10 Ultimate and will a rubber tip stylus such as the Wacom Bamboo work on it?

[Laurence]

This looks very similar, but only 2/32GB like the iwork 10 Super Edition, but with the 1920×1200 screen.

They list this stylus as the compatible one

Okay thanks, that looks just like a Dell active stylus / Synaptics one.
