Hi, I bought the Lenovo precision pen 2. It works fine but it doesn't capture in an accurate manner what I write or paint. When I try to do the shape of an eye for example, the line isn't smooth and curved (see photo). Is this a problem with the tablet or the pen?

I thought it's Wacom fault.
Mine has similar problem and makes writing difficult.
When I use the pen for scrolling, I notice it's like stop and go
However, Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus doesn't have such problem with P11 Pro
Sorry, basically you said that the lenovo precision pen gives you trouble? In all other fields the pen functions well, just not in writing or painting

I don't have Precision Pen 2 because it's not available in US
I bought Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus instead.
I thought it doesn't fully compatible with P11+ and Yoga Tab 11, but now I suspect Precision Pen 2 and Bamboo Ink Plus are the same

Theres a video in youtube suggesting that the nibs (tips) are the same. Sorry theres some info missing on your prior message i think. you ment that you have both the p11 plus and pro and you only had a problem on the plus? Im replacing the pen so well se. Its a pitty to return the tablet, its pretty nice

I have just found Precision Pen 2 and I ordered it, but it may take 2-3 weeks to ship.
Stay tuned for update.
Besides pen, P11+ is actually a good tablet for the price and there's a Motorola version as well (G70).
I suspect it's firmware issue can it can be corrected. If same problem happens on my forthcoming Precision Pen 2, I will tell the issue to Lenovo support to correct it.
Yes, Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus works 100% with P11 Pro. You should switch to Pro if writing does matter.

Good luck. Ill probably replace to xiaomi pad 5 because of the pwm in the pro.
Edit: the problem was the screen glass protector🤪

Glad I found this thread...
I bought a Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 7, it comes with the Precision Pen 2... Since the very first moment I put a screen protector, and when tried the pen for the first time I realized that when drawing diagonals lines they were all "wavy" (as the red lines in the screenshot attached), the weird thing is that only for diagonals, the "straight" ones are drawn well, the same happened to you? I wanna believe it's the screen protector and not a faulty screen or pen... I should remove the screen protector to test but I had a hard time getting one for this model here in Spain haha.

You're not alone
Mine (both P11+ and Yoga Tab 11) have similar issue while the pen works perfectly with Yoga Tab 13

I have a p11 plus and the precision pen 2. My lines are all slightly wavy, unless I make the line very fast! I suspect the firmware needs to be worked out.

I few days ago I removed a screen protector I had since day one on my Lenovo Yoga (9i Gen 7)... I it turned out that the screen protector was causing the wavy lines, now it works lovely, as it should.

writing and drawing is difficult because the lines are not following my strokes
will remove the screen protector to see if the situation improves...

... so yes, on Bamboo Paper (Notes) the capturing of my strokes dramatically improved.
With Paper Draw the capturing of my strokes is less accurate ...
So, it looks as if there is also a difference is results, depending what app is used...
