Best for tablets

I have arthritis in my thumbs and this stylus relieves the pain. The one that came with the tablet is too small. I love the weight as it is aluminum. Cons: absurdly expensive, very long commute, about a month. Don't trust the estimated shipping date. The product comes from Europe and has been stored in the Google warehouse in Germany for some time. If you are using reMarkable, replace the tip that came with the pen with the reMarkable tip. Much better. The pen that comes with the Lamy is tooโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • too dumb

Day 4 recap: 4 stars -> 5 stars Using ddvk/remarkable-stylus (on Github), a hackscript, the eraser is fully functional. In the end, LAMY named the button "Custom Shortcut Key". The manufacturer must actually "support" every functionality for that particular key. (Note that you need to install ddvk/remarkable-hacks for the awesome stylus fix to work.) Also, the stylus becomes smoother after about a second day. An AL-Star Lamy pen, except that the pen gets too many breaks when writing on theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is awesome
Cons
  • Some bugs

Better than stock, at least

I bought this because I didn't like how small and light the standard S-Pen for my Galaxy Tab was. It's a pretty big improvement over this one, but you'll want more for the price. DEFINITELY not metal, this thing is almost entirely plastic and you feel like it's not worth the price. The button is flush with the surrounding area and I've never been able to press it without adjusting it or looking at the stylus itself. Serves its purpose as a better replacement for the standard stylus, but Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Scope of delivery 1x LAMY AL star black EMR pen with contact tip, 0.7 mm, interchangeable, including 2 interchangeable tips and interchangeable tweezers. It is compatible with most mobile devices that support Wacom EMR technology. eg Galaxy Note tablets and Samsung smartphones, as well as many devices from other manufacturers
Cons
  • Very expensive

Good - Light - Works with a great tablet.

When I first got this pen, I swore it was made of plastic. I was very angry because the description said it was metal! Then someone told me to bite into it carefully and indeed it looked like metal. And with the time spent using the pen, it is actually of a pretty high quality. The handle is very light and doesn't have the "cold" feel you would expect from metal in a warm room. The stylus works great overall (if you replace the stylus with a wonderful built-in nib). Costs money? Eh Butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Different finishes require different pen tip materials. Use different screen protector tips depending on the surface.
Cons
  • 0

The pen broke immediately and cannot be repaired

I bought it for over $75 expect a quality product. However, it is made of plastic and has a poor design. The first thing I did was try to stick a Boox pen in it. This broke and immediately blocked the entrance. Tweezers, etc. do not work. It was not possible to remove the pen holder to remove it. Then, as more and more desperate attempts were made to remove the pen, it was found that the stylus' plastic was only slightly harder than the pen's plastic, making efforts to remove it futile. Someโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Based on the LAMY AL star rollerball pen body, the digital input pen was designed for tablets, smartphones and laptops and offers a familiar writing experience with perfect ergonomics
Cons
  • Not bad, but..
