How comfortable is this pen when it is used as a pen, it appears to be somewhat difficult to grasp, I like pens with rubber pads in the gripping area.

While it is true that this pen stylus has no cushion in the grip, it is very comfortable to grasp and write with. I don't use this pen every day. I keep it in my attache and use it when working with my tablet to make notes/edits on paper as I am reading.

The chair like any new kind of furniture is stiff at first but once you sit in it for a while it gets comfy. I think that all of the above would be comfortable but personally writing wouldn't be for me. Maybe if the chair had arms but everyone is different. If you're comfortable with writing without arms on a chair, go for it! It's a wonderful chair!

You can use a pen or stylus with it but it does not have sensitivity settings like a pad would. If your looking to be able to get different brush strokes with pressure input this will not do that.

That depends on what your definition of comfortable is. I preferred this over two other brands that I tried because 1) the surface is relatively friction-free: your hands and wrists glide across it with minimal effort which makes it easier to type quickly and 2) it is heavy enough that it doesn't move, which would be a distraction when typing.

Hi Carol! Fiber tipped pens are known to be a tad bit more responsive than rubber tips, that is the main difference. As a few others have mentioned, you will not have the "squeaky" or "sticky" problem with the fiber as well. While many customers are very pleased with our rubber tipped pens, I believe these would suit you very well :) Please note that these are our longest pens (7.3") and we DO offer them in shorter lengths, if that is what you prefer (5.3" is about that of a standard pen). If there's anything else I can help you with, please let me know! I can be contacted directly here:

It feels very similar to their Intuos tablets, except you're drawing on the screen. I've never had the pen slip. It glides smoothly without issues. The screen is not as rough as a piece of paper would feel. There isn't that kind of resistance to the pen that you would feel on a piece of sketch paper. I hope that answers your question.

The entire pen is textured. It isn't grippy like a rubber, but it's like a pebbled powder coat almost. If I recall correctly, the chrome pen has milled ridges near the tip, this does not, but the coating is naturally easier to hold on to than the chrome.

I have this type of stylus and really enjoy using it, It has the feel and texture ot a pencil. All that is required is to gently point thr rubberized tip on a letter or whatever tou are using if for. It helps me enter my dialogue faster,Good luck

The handle feels "rubbery" and is quite comfortable to hold. There is a long, decorative metal piece on the top surface of the handle.

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.

Well you don't need to strong arm it into using it. Just a little bit of added pressure to the pen and you'll hear it "click" (similar to a button on a mouse). It's about as thick as a magic marker. And there is a button near the tip to right click if needed. Hope this helps

Well if they ask for a pen and you happen to have it on you, its a nice little surprise. When i first got it i would ask people to doodle something, if that didn't work i would poke em' with it.

I think it has helped me with my hand cramping. There is a holder for your index finder so it doesnt have to constantly rest on the L&R; top buttons. The grip is big and comfortable, but not hard. More like those therapy balls you can squeeze. In my opinion I think its better than no grip and any current grip out there.

I am a writer, and I like the responsiveness of the nib. But, I think it would be a good sketch pen as well.

I like to draw with it. The pen feels good in my hand. I rest my index finger alongside the clip. The nib has a little springiness to it. The line will be a little on the narrow side of whatever nib size you choose. The cartridge or cartridge converter does not hold a lot of ink. Keep that in mind, when choosing your nib size. if you are looking for a permanent ink, you could try Noodler's Black or any of the Bullet Proof / Eternal inks from Noodlers. Those inks are permanent to cellulose based products only. To reduce residue buildup, the fountain pen should be flushed regularly. Great fountain pen. I hope this has helped.

Definitely. The pen acts as a mouse (pretty much), and is also affected my pressure and tilt.
