- Type: Passive capacitive stylus
- Nib: Rubber, replaceable
- Barrel: Slim balanced body
- Power: None required, no charging or pairing
- Compatible With: iPad, iPhone, Android tablets and other capacitive touchscreen devices
- App Support: Bamboo Paper for note-taking and sketching
- Best For: Everyday note-taking, annotation and touchscreen navigation
Bamboo Alpha is the simplest stylus Wacom made: a slim passive pen with a responsive rubber nib, for writing and drawing on a tablet or phone as directly as you would with a pen on paper.
Because it is passive there is nothing to charge and nothing to pair, and it works on any capacitive touchscreen. The rubber nib is a wear part and can be swapped for an inexpensive replacement rather than replacing the whole pen. Used with the Bamboo Paper app, it turns a tablet into a notepad.

- Passive design, so no battery, no charging and no pairing.
