Chuwi Hi12 Official Stylus HiPen Unboxing And Test
**Unboxing and Review of the Chewy Hypen Stylus: A Comprehensive Look**
Hi, everyone! It's Chrissy, and today I'm excited to dive into this unboxing and review of what I hope will be a game-changer for my tablet experience—the Chewy Hypen stylus. This is the active stylus designed for the chewy H1200, and I ordered it from Banggood. Interestingly, they don't call it the "Ohio pen," which caught me off guard at first. After doing some quick research, I realized that this is indeed the official Chewy stylus—electronic, magnetic, and all. The description was a bit misleading, but once I opened it up, everything made sense.
### Packaging and Initial Impressions
The packaging was straightforward, as you can see here. I paid for express shipping with DHL, which was well worth it since it arrived quickly. Plus, no taxes were involved—luckily, this one slipped under the tax radar because it's just a pen and not an expensive item. I didn't have any issues with customs or delays, so that was a pleasant surprise.
I decided to open it up right away to see what we're dealing with here. Out of the box, it looked exactly like the TechGlass stylus I've been using on my X3 Pro. That's reassuring because I know how well that one works. The only difference I noticed is the branding—this one has the Chewy logo instead of TechGlass. Otherwise, it's identical in design and build quality.
### Design and Functionality
Next, I took a closer look at the stylus itself. It comes with a quadruple A battery, which is interesting because my previous stylus used a slightly different frequency. I'm not entirely sure why there's a difference, but it didn't take long to figure out how to get it working.
One of the standout features of this stylus is its auto-activation. Just like my X3 Pro stylus, it automatically turns on when you bring it close to the tablet. There's no need for an on/off switch, which makes it incredibly convenient. I love that it just works as soon as it comes into proximity with the screen.
### Testing on OneNote
Now, let's talk about how it performs in real-world use. I decided to test it out on OneNote since that's where I spend most of my time when taking notes. The stylus showed up automatically, which was a great sign. I brought up the keyboard and started jotting down some quick notes.
The pressure sensitivity worked perfectly, allowing me to switch between fine lines and thicker strokes with ease. That's something I really appreciate because it gives me more control over my writing. If I press lightly, I get a thin line, and if I push harder, it gets thicker—just like using a regular pen. It felt natural and intuitive.
Another feature I was excited to test is the palm rejection. This is crucial for anyone who tends to rest their hand on the screen while writing. Thankfully, the stylus did an excellent job at ignoring my palm movements. As long as it's close enough to the tablet, it recognizes when your hand is near and avoids picking up unintended inputs.
### Comparison with Other Styli
For those of you who are familiar with other styli like the Wacom One or T-Border Ten, I can confidently say that this Chewy stylus blows them out of the water in terms of usability. The pressure sensitivity alone makes a world of difference, and the accuracy is something I didn't expect from an active stylus at this price point.
I also noticed that there's a bit of lag when using it with Paint, which isn't surprising since Paint doesn't support pressure sensitivity natively. However, the speed and accuracy were still decent enough for basic tasks like sketching or note-taking.
### Windows 10 Compatibility
Now, let's talk about something that might be important to some of you—Windows 10 compatibility. Unfortunately, the first batch of the chewy H1200 tablets didn't support stylus input because they lacked the necessary hardware. I can confirm from personal experience that using this stylus with my Windows 10 model was a disaster.
When I checked the system information on my Windows 10 device, it only listed "touch support," not pressure sensitivity. This means that while the stylus showed up in OneNote and other apps, it didn't work properly for anything beyond basic navigation. It's a bit of a letdown, but at least it still had some functionality.
### Conclusion
All in all, the Chewy Hypen stylus is an excellent addition to the H1200 lineup. Its seamless integration with OneNote and other apps makes it a joy to use, especially if you're someone who relies on pressure sensitivity for your work or note-taking. The fact that it uses the same technology as the X3 Pro stylus I've been using means I know it's going to last me a long time.
