Aren't you supposed to unscrew the plastic protective disk from the tip and screw it into the other end while using the tip to write? Some aren't.

The plastic tip isn't so much for protection as it is for surface area. This is required for a capacitive screen. That's why most styli for capacitive screens like on the iPad are so large, most of them are at least 3 mm in diameter.

You just unscrew the cover off and then screw it on the end to make it longer to use. then unscrew and put back over the plastic disk to protect it.

it basically just another drive (external) on your PC - thus anything that writes to a disk will write to it - do it all the time with this or an SD for data files (program), video templates, docs, etc. Easiest way to think of it is as another form of a USB thumb drive.

They provide a stylus and suggest you only use that.. You have to press hard for it to show up which makes "normal" hand writing not possible.

I can't imagine it would be possible to fix if the disk comes away from the shaft.But I have work out a dozen or more disks without any breaking so I am wondering how you are using the tool.If the disk is flat on a surface, then there shouldn't be enough force to break it. Are you using the edge of the disk for something? If so, then I can see how pressure could break it.

Yes, but I've repeatedly (i.e., about four times) lost pens that somehow unscrewed themselves from the cap. Great pen otherwise.

I have no idea, but the little stylus tips work great. Might be to secure electronics cords instead of twist-ties or rubber bands?

Mine does not seem to disk over write once full. I recently had to erase all to free space as it appeared to have stopped recording. Since then Ive been careful to erase once in a while and haven't let it go to full again so I dont know if it was an isolated incident or if not over writing is the rule. For the rest, it works very well.

Yes but it is still too eat to lose the plastic disc needed to writeI don't recommend this product

I'm not sure of a specific answer, but I do know that when I try to use the pens, they do take a bit of effort to make them write (some don't even seem to work). However, lately I haven't even been using the holder provided.

There is an adjustment screw on the bottom of the disk to make it tigher or more loose. It might be that it was too tight and not sliding easily. Hope this helps.

I've had the same tip on mine since I bought it about a year ago, and it still works the same as the first day. They probably do get damaged, but it hasn't happened to me yet. The black tips have a rubber coating on the tip to provide more friction ( like writing with a pencil) while the white tips are smooth plastic ( like writing with a pen)

If you put the notes behind the disk, then yeah. But there's nota special "slot" for them or anything.
1378218
No! If you attempt to remove the plastic tip the whole thing will break and will need replacement tip, the plastic holds the small rubber piece inside from breaking sooner than it should

The cap "clicks" on to cover the writing nib, but slides on securely with no "click" when stored on the other end during writing. It's not going to fall off if that's the concern.

What's hard to understand? When the USB is tucked away it still protrudes from the bottom, thus (possibly) preventing it from standing upright or putting it on a tripod.

I don't think so. I tried several ways and I have to say the USB is the way that is supposed to be.
