Review on ✍️ RENAISSER Stylus Pen for Surface: Bluetooth Remote Control, 4096 Pressure Sensitivity Levels, Made in Taiwan, Rechargeable - Raphael 520BT by Ryan Pollock

The Raphael 520BT grip is worth noting. It takes everything the Raphael 520 got right by adding Bluetooth functionality - and that's a good thing. This is both convenient and efficient to implement. Although it shows all the features of its previous model and adds one new feature, it pains me to say that the implementation could have been done better. First, let's talk about what he's doing right. '520BT is great for writing or drawing. With the right setup and software, you can use hard or light pressure to add depth and detail to your drawings and calligraphy. In your hand, the pen feels light and strong, but still looks professional. The battery is worth noting because you can charge it quickly and forget about charging for a while. As with the previous model, the side buttons look the same, and you can change their shortcuts in Windows 10's pen settings (different clicks have different presets). What sets this pen apart from its predecessor is the addition of Bluetooth and a charging cap. Single click, double click, single click and hold: Here are the ways to use the Bluetooth button on the end of the stylus. It's nice that when you're browsing a website or in the middle of a project, you can just flick the pen tip to make notes or clip out a reference image. If you have access to Office 365, PowerPoint is a dream come true when creating slideshows or using presentation mode. When creating slides, the program automatically recognizes the pen and you can write or draw on the slide. Presentation mode lets you annotate what you're talking about in real-time on the slide (notes can be saved later at the end of the presentation), and a button at the end lets you conveniently navigate to the next and previous slides. If you've used this pen for educational or business purposes, I imagine that could be an attractive feature of the pen. After all the good stuff, let's move on to something that leaves you wanting... While the battery doesn't have much, it does have a slightly slower charge rate and lifespan. I suspect that charging will take longer if the charging current flows through the Bluetooth mechanism. I'm sure it's secure, but I didn't like the concept of pressing the Bluetooth button, where the part you press is metal - you charge the stylus by holding it with a magnet on the end attach. A very nice click from the way the magnet attaches the cap to the end of the pen. Make sure the magnet does its job, you don't have to press it like a regular pen. The biggest problem with the Raphael 520BT is the cap. If you lose the cap, you can no longer charge the pen. Unfortunately, I think this is a huge design oversight. In a world where we have more and more things to keep track of, I would feel really stupid if I lost my pen charging cap. Also, make sure you don't cap the tip like you would with a traditional pen - you risk damaging it. I would prefer the charging method like the previous model or the charging port on the side. I think I understand why they chose a cap instead of a side or end port. This would likely have prevented damage to the port had they retained their previous design. This is an amazing pen. The Bluetooth functionality is a great addition. I highly recommend this pen only if you are sure you can keep an eye on the pen cap.
