Overall Feedback:
76% positive
74% appreciated the precise accuracy, but 26% experienced occasional errors
The handwriting is amazing and the latency is nearly zero, making it feel like a real pen.
My biggest issue with the pen tip is its stiffness.
64% liked the long-lasting battery life, but 36% found it drained quickly
I am unsure about the battery life of the pen, but it uses AAAA batteries which are available at a cheap price on Amazon.
The eraser works fine, indicating it is not a battery issue.
70% appreciated the seamless connectivity, though 30% experienced connection issues
When I connect the pen and click the drawing icon in the taskbar, Windows offers to download some useful apps.
I gave 4 stars because I had to figure out how to use the pen myself and it should have been in the documentation.
I faced difficulty in setting up the Bluetooth. I had to leave the battery out for a minute and put it back in to actually pair it.
72% praised the pen's durability, but 28% experienced premature wear
I did not mention anything about the durability of the digital pen.
After two weeks of use, the black piece around the tip came off in pieces. It could be a defect or durability issue.
I am dissatisfied with the stiffness of the pen tip. The new pen has a flimsy tip compared to the previous one.
My pen stopped working once it was out of the 30-day warranty period and the warranty is poor.
74% found it easy to use
I needed a durable and easy-to-use device for digital art classes, and this pen met that requirement.
I like that I can start drawing immediately with the pen without pressing any button to wake up or power on the pen.
Pairing the pen is easy and it is fast and responsive.
I have found that the pen holds securely for basic purposes and is magnetic.

My biggest issue with the new pen is its flimsy tip compared to the previous one.
74% appreciated the quiet writing experience
The digital pen works as a mouse pointer for anything and supported apps make use of the pressure sensitivity to enhance the drawing experience.
