The stylus is a sleek, polished looking thing that sits comfortably in the hand and is a very similar size to a fountain pen. It sits well for use, but the buttons on the pen (see photo above) are a little too easy to click unintentionally, so make sure the pen stays at the same angle in the hand. The stylus is silver, with a gloss top half and matt bottom half, and the buttons lie a couple of centimetres from the nib itself. The nib is white and a good size, small enough to lend accuracy but large enough not to be scratchy, and the stylus curves gently into the nib, which is a seperate piece of plastic. There is no clip on the stylus.
FEATURES
The pen itself is excellent, with a variable pressure nib which is excellent for artists aiming to vary the thickness of lines. This variable pressure can be controlled or turned off from your computer, however, allowing for ultimate flexibility. The nib is also tilt sensitive, so angles can be used for artwork.
One of the best features of the stylus, however, are the two customisable butons above the nib, the function of which can be changed from the computer, but default at double click and right click, allowing menus to be brought up without even touching the pad. These can be changed to perform a host of other tasks.
The computer program also offers lots of other features for the stylus.
USE
The pen, when compared with other tablets, performs well, while not remarkably, and can be a little scratchy at times. Overall, however, it feels and looks good, and is very strong for image editing, with pin point accuracy allowing a second use as a computer mouse.
The pen comes with a manufacturer's warranty of two years, and I would reccomend it to potential Wacom buyers.
