How do you change from stylus to pen? Is it just a push button at the top? Also, is it rollerball or ballpoint and what type of refill does it take?

It does not come with sulus or pen. You provide yourself with whatever you prefer. The pictured pen/stylus is for illustration only

Yes, the pen point comes through the rubber, and works pretty much the same as any retractible ball-point pen. It doesn't take a *lot* of pressure, so you may very rarely find yourself touching your phone or tablet with the pen point, but this won't happen often if you're holding it the same as you would a pen for writing. Also, I find the rubber is a tiny bit stiff when using a pen for the first time, but it will soften with a few minutes of use.

There is a "nose-cone" tip that unscrews. ... Just stupid simple ... There is a tension spring but the insert (refill cartridge) does not retract ... It is just covered by the cap. ... The cap (with the ring monunted on it) snaps on (does not screw on) ... I read that some people lost their pen because the cap did not retain the main body of the pen ... I bought it anyway ... I lost mine, within a week ... This is a fairly short pen ... The cartrige does not use the PARKER Compatability extension adapter, that comes with each refill, because this is not a full length pen (but is long enough for normal, comfort and control).

It takes a standard Parker refill but it also can take a Fisher Space pen refill (which I recommend). Both of these can be purchased through Amazon.

Are you referring to the handwriting tool on the galaxy tab? If so, you must switch to that tool instead of the using the onscreen keyboard. Then you just write with the stylus as if it were a regular pen.

The refills are different from the traditional refills. The pen does NOT unscrew but pulls apart, a good tug might be needed. I was able to put a Parker refill with regular ink instead of gel, but I had to sand the barrel of the refill. It made for a better writing pen. They are over priced but to a writer, it's its ok. Hope this gives some kind of an answer to your question.

There is an elastic loop to hold it. The stylus is a combo pen/stylus. The stylus end of the pen is kind of like having an eraser on it. The pen/stylus is held in the elastic loop with the pocket clip on the stylus.

Because the stylus tip is broad it's not good for precision drawing/writing. When I want to write/draw with precision I use a Musemee Notier which has a clear disc tip so you can see the point of drawing. But the Notier doesn't have a ballpoint pen in it which is why I own both. I mostly use this stylus/pen for my iPhone and the Notier for my iPad.

Hello. I am sorry, these Color Tipped Styli do not have a Pen function. They only work as Touchscreen Stylus.Thank you

Hi James! Unfortunately, this pen is just made to replace your fingertip on any capacitive touch-screen device (for swiping and tapping, etc). We just launched a new pen that is both a gel point pen and a stylus combination, which you can see here: http://www.amazon.com/The-Friendly-Swede-Precision-Replacement/dp/B00FFURRYC/ref=sr_1_1?m=AP0GL3AYI3XW1&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1383921394&sr=1-1&keywords=ballpoint Hope that helps!

I actually wrote to the company and they replied (quickly) with this (last year): To open the pen, please turn the tip as if you were going to retract or close the ink tip and continue turning it until the tip comes out of the body of the pen. Once the tube of the tip is out fully, you will see that the other end of the tip has a smaller round black end to it. Feel free to use your fingers or a small screwdriver to twist that part out and you will see that is the ink that you can refill. Pen refills are sold online or can be found at any office supply store. Here are a few suggested brands: Cross Mini-Ballpoint Pen Refills, Style Number: 8518-4 Staedtler Multi-Action Pen Refills, Style Number: 930-ASBK3V Zebra Telescopic 4C-Refill in Medium Point Please feel free to contact me for any additional questions.

Hi Sara... NOT with the ballpoint please ... but the use of the touch screen rubber tip is fine on any of the touch screen phones, tablets, or computers. I hope this helps.

I doubt it. The am pen New Hybrid Stylus is the one that takes the screw-in refills. It's approximately 1/2" in diameter and 47/8"long. The Capacitive Stylus is 3/8"in diameter and 44/8" long. Although that's irrelevant to your question I was asked that a while ago so it's available to anyone who reads the reviews. You may have to buy the Hybrid if you want the convenience of refills.

Yes you can get refills. You can pull the pen part out with a bit of pressure. Unfortunately they are really expensive for what you are getting...basically a cut down pen refill that ought to cost 30 cents. Instead costs like 4 dollars. Aaand, theres a little metal hook dealie on the end of it that is proprietary...plus teh refill itself is thin metal instead of fat plastic tube. Therefore you cannot do it yourself. Still, its not like you are using this pen a whole lot right? It should last for a long long time on its own.

I know this is a little late, but maybe it will help others who are wondering.Yes, you can use ink instead of a stylus. I put a blue ink refill in the stylus slot, so that I have black, blue, red, and 0.7mm lead. I love it!

The pen uses a standard cartridge so you can just pop in a new one. But I'm not sure which cartridge it uses. The pen works great.

It's a pen with a soft rubbery tip on one end. You twist it to bring the pen tip down. I've only used it as a stylus, I haven't used the pen part yet.
