So it finally arrived my stylus for the Teclast f6 Pro laptop that I reviewed
approximately two weeks ago it's right here at the background so this one has a
hybrid screen on it because it's a convertible you can flip it right around
and convert this laptop into a tablet now this stylus here apparently has 1024
levels of pressure sensitivity now be really careful ordering it because I got
Express shipping with this one because I wanted to get it in time for my review
and it never arrived in time anyway but I had to pay with DHL a mass of 27 euros
tax on this and the cost of this stylus is only about 19 or 20 US dollars so it
did turn out to be very expensive so we'll take a look at it in this video
here see how it performs now I've got no means to test at 1024 levels of pressure
sensitivity but I'll have a look and see how it writes for people want to do a
lot of handwriting a couple of little sketches try and draw some lines and
things like that just so you get an idea of the performance you can expect out of
the stylus so good news is it does come with a quad a battery because those
batteries tend to be quite expensive and normally all Silas's that do have one of
those batteries will include it in the box at least so this here I think is
just probably a guide no it's just like a warranty guarantee card or something
but that's all in Chinese I don't read Chinese and here we have this stylus
which feels really light one if it's made out of plastic so this part here
that actually feels okay that's just made out of an alloy there so that's
very lightweight and of course we've got to put the battery in there and the tip
of it no not rubber that's just a hard plastic
unfortunately we're nice if that was rubber because it just feels a little
bit better and doesn't tend to scratch the screen protector so this has a
screen protector on it and I imagine it's going to probably end up scratching
that up quite a bit and then we have two buttons there is no button on the rear I
do like it when they have these statuses with an eraser on the end I find is a
lot more handy than having to use the buttons or go and select the eraser
function okay so when I first disc out the hover
feature of this stylus and I can see it does have it but okay you got to touch
the screen first I think to turn on activate that hover is only
approximately about three centimeters away now normally you actually see the
hover being a little further away from that it's already marking on there so
test out a little bit of the sensitivity so I press really lightly at the moment
and then a little harder there and it's a thicker line of course just try a
different pin there probably would work out better okay so that doesn't seem too
bad I'm trying droid us to some straight lines as straight as I can there doesn't
seem to be too much like that's relatively fast I'm in OneNote here of
course now right on the corners of the screen sometimes they don't work right
up to the corner but I can see that it it does actually right on to the edge
there so that is good right along the edge I love some of those other cheaper
styluses don't allow you to do that because they didn't have the digitizer
panel right up against the very edge but this I can see does now accuracy of that
nib there I think I need to configure this it seems to be right in the middle
I can see it's not too bad because we've got a non laminated screen of course
that pointer is going to be about 101.5 millimeters away from the screen so
that's accounting for some of that inaccuracy there a little bit but it
doesn't seem to be too bad that point if you have a look is quite close to the
nib I'll just zoom in here to try and show you that accuracy you can see where
the point is right now and if I touch see where it is that's actually quite a
little bit away from a bit of course it depends on the way you have it angled at
the moment I don't have that angled I would sort of straight up there's what
you need to do and there it is having said that once it's writing it seems to
be okay but it is off a little bit there if you see approximately about a
millimeter half a millimeter so but it comes and goes doesn't it with that
accuracy so you probably just need to configure like right there now it's to
the right of it the pointer and there it's just lagging a little bit but
overall I don't feel that is too bad considering that the screen is non
laminated this is definitely not an intrigue stylus the surface stylus which
is probably a lot better than this one in fact no it is a lot better of course
than this particular stylus I've converted the laptop now into
tablet mode so the screens lying down most people would probably be using the
stylus like this so let's test out now just doing a little bit of handwriting
here check out the palm rejection rejection that it's got so I'll just
right here hello there that is some messy handwriting now holding down the
button at the top that should allow me to just erase the strokes which I can as
you can see and I'll just select a different color here if the accuracy is
going to let me I've got a double tap I'll hold down so just getting select
another color and we'll check out that palm rejection so touching now as long
as the stylus is there nothing's gonna happen lift that up and then yeah lets
you move it around okay so raise that again do a little bit more handwriting
Oh what just happened then so right there writing that T it shifted so the
accuracy of the pointer shifted right to the right then distress split second I
don't know whether that was probably actually me moving with my palms so you
try to have two we're gonna have to try to keep the stylus touching the screen a
little bit more than it went normally otherwise you risk moving things around
there which is a little bit of a problem so now there's to some screwball I did
before I haven't actually and raised all of that just testing it out so
definitely a bit of a learning curve here to try and and get their best
performance with the stylus so just try and draw in our little cartoon I'm not
an artist by the way so prepare for the worst
just try and draw something very simple a very simple and ugly looking what's
going on that's not detecting just then a couple of times the stroke so I mean
so far well it looks more like home actually not bad some sent there you go
that is very poor and this stylus isn't exactly amazing to kind of think this is
a little bit of pores well what's going on is just sometimes writing there it
doesn't want to work it's either the poem rejection or it really doesn't me I
need to get used to doing this properly so
okay no actually how many doesn't have a lot of here so what am i doing so
there's ears you've got those two but two here at the top and store his body
there for a second and what is he gonna say hey man all right that doesn't seem
too bad this time around so it's gonna take a lot of practice to get used to
using this particular stylus but their performance at least on one note here
yeah that is very fast but then again look it just missed us bit then why is
that happening is that the pressure levels not just sure about that I can
see to that looking at it an angle that the tip because it's plastic and I have
the screen protector on it is leaving these tiny little faint scratches there
so let's have a look now at Photoshop performance with the stylus okay so this
is just going to be a quick test of pressure sensitivity really just to see
if it's gonna be working in here now I'm doing this very lightning I can see it's
just leaving a mark there so at least that's good and if I press down here
looks like it's gonna leave yes it does leave more of a mark when the TV you
start to press and gain more scratches on that screen protector so you probably
want to go for a tempered glass screen protector there if you intend to use
this a lot but the problem with that is because the non laminated screen the
adding more you lating like a millimeter more so there's probably gonna make the
stylus even less accurate and perhaps affect its performance so you might just
be better off risking not even using a screen protector so that seems to be
working okay it is the pressure sensitivity in Photoshop seems to be
quite a bit more sensitive than it does in one night one no doesn't really seem
to support it well it does support it but it doesn't seem to be as sensitive
but it's good to see that as least working here okay guys so that is the
stylus there for the f6 Pro and overall I don't find it to be a particularly
good stylus okay we do have the pressure sensitivity and it does seem to work
okay there but what I'm not happy with is the accuracy of the pointer like
right now in Photoshop that is quite accurate the problem is that when I was
writing at least sketching and trying to write right here in OneNote that the
problem was that the Knibb where it was registering would
shift to the left or right about two millimeters and I believe the culprit is
probably down to the fact that this is a non laminated screen so the gap in it so
we've got a d-- IPS panel and then we've got the digitizer glass which is
soda-lime glass there's a gap of around two millimeters now on premium tablets
something like a surface pro for that gap is non-existent and it looks a lot
more accurate definitely when you use it the tip of it of course being plastic
means it's going to scratch up the screen protector and overall if you're
an artist or you're quite serious about your sketches drawing and you need a
good stylus you like to write a lot of notes you will get quite frustrated and
you will be disappointed with this stylus I feel so if you really need a
tablet or a notebook a convertible like this look for more premium options look
at something like the Microsoft Surface pro three or four perhaps a used one and
just hunt around even a surface book - it's better
something with a Wacom or intrigue stylus is ten times better than this one
thanks a lot for watching this little overview and quick demonstration quite a
poor demonstration because I'm not an artist of the f6 stylus
