Is the tip of the pen hard plastic, or is it a softer material?

It is a relatively hard plastic but not stiff enough to feel scratchy on the screen. Works with or without a screen protector.

it is a hard material. The first one I bought scratched the glass if I held it at too sharp an angle and it didn't work well but I have bought two since and the work great.

I don't think it's hard plastic, it seems like very firm rubber with soft padding on top. My husband loves his.

Tip is a soft rubber like substance. About the diameter of a #2 pencil, maybe a little smaller.

Mostly plastic. The 1/2 with writing tip is metal, with a plastic, cushion sleeve, and the rest of it is plastic.

It's not soft, as in squishy. Don't know if it's really plastic. It's dull and smooth. works great.

Its like a thin rubber layer over hard plastic. Very comfortable to use. I do a moderate ammount of writing for work and I know Ive had pens that just hurt to use for extended periods of time. Its pretty durable. I've been using the same ones for quite a while now. They've held up pretty well. None of the rubber has peeled off or anything like that.

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.

It is plastic but not a hard nor soft. Just perfect with flex.Best I have ever purchased!

Pen is non-magnetic except for the clip so it may be aircraft aluminum with black anodize coating. That is my guess, and that being said it is very very tough, and is heavy and substantial in the hand and pocket. jd

The pen tip is metal and not good on touch screens. I bought this one because it has a fiber tipped stylus. It is far superior to the rubber version. It is more precise, requires a much lighter touch, and lasts a lot longer.

its a softer plastic. More like the plastic used in food storage containers. I used the microbuddy twice. That was enough.

It's hard plastic - not metal. Overall, the pencil is well constructed. I've bought several and they perform well.

Very hard plastic. Mine bite at it but it just scrapes. Well worth the purchase

I don't think it's a very hard plastic at all. Does not rub the metal. I only used it for 2 months, though.

Yes, the pen is all metal and has quite a bit of heft to it. It has a nice, solid look and feel.

I believe it is the diameter of the pen tip. A 0.05 tip will be narrower and a 0.07 tip will be a thicker tip. :)

That is correct. It is essentially a pen that scratches instead of writes. It is not powered or anything. Think of it as being similar to using a nail to write on something, but the tip is harder and sharper.
