LamyAL-star EMR black (POM tip) - Stylus Pen for many Android devices - Touchscreen pen with ergonomic grip - precise writing & drawing on digital media - with function button

This is a brilliant product. Only been using it a few minutes, so if my view changes I will update this review.It feels good in the hand. Writes well.Massive bonus is the lid aside from being metal (I think) will protect the nib and tip of the stylus from getting damaged. My RM II stylus got damaged because it didn't have a lid and the bag it was in fell off tthe the seat it was on (it was in its case as well).I had the RM II Stylus with the eraser, but I think with the RM II interface, it's actually easier to select the eraser option than it is to rotate the stylus to use the eraser end. So it's true the eraser end doesn't work on the RMII but you don't need it. Seriously, try using the stylus you have to select the eraser option. The RM II stylus should be so much cheaper, in my view, way overpriced.The only downside is the magnetic holder on the RM II doesn't work, but it's a bigger stylus and it's not practical. But the bigger size is better in the hand. Not sure if this is a negative point. Get a case with a stylus holder, and you should be good :-) It actually feels more like a normal pen and pad because of the lid , size , shape and design etc.I have yet to confirm my old remarkable nibs work in this pen. If they don't, I will update this review and let you all know. It was a deciding factor for choosing this stylus. However, others have said it does accept the RM II nibs.To use the button on the RM IIjoshualowcock.comthen add the followingguide/how-to-install-the-lamy-al-star-pen-button-eraser-hack-on-the-remarkable-2you can then use the instructions to enable the button

I have been using this pen on my new Kindle Scribe 2024 for a number of hours only (received it this morning) and I do like it indeed. The unique thing about it for me is that it has a 0.35 mm tip, compared to the regular 0.70 mm. The built quality seems good so far, but it's too early to judge, isn't it?The Function Button is convenient and responsive, the grip is also good and comfortable. As far as I know, this is the only digital stylus with a classic pen design out there, which is also unique.Only issue with this pen is that its brand name will always remind me of our spineless Foreign Minister.

Lost my ReMarkable pen and was horrified at the replacement price. This makes an excellent cheaper alternative - and is less likely to be lost as it looks like a normal pen and doesn't work with the pretty useless magnet that holds the ReMarkable stick pen.

I bought this to use with my RM2 tablet, as it was cheaper than the RM stylus. The nib that comes with it is a bit scratchy but it can easily be replaced with RM nibs, which I did. This has meant the writing feel on the tablet is the same as the original RM pen.Apart from the price, I like the fatness of this pen. It has the feel of a fountain pen. I mostly use fountains pens, so I feel very comfortable writing and drawing with it. (If you prefer pencil like thinness, Staedtler Norris stylus might be an option but that doesn't accept RM's nibs). Unlike the RM pens, neither Staedtler or Lamy are magnetic. The Lamy however, has a cap with a clip, protecting the nib and allowing it to be put in the pocket like ordinary pens, which I prefer.There is an eraser button, but that doesn't seem to work with the RM2. Whilst loss of this function doesn't affect the way I use the tablet much, it does make this pen more comparable to the RM Marker (without eraser) rather than the Marker Plus (with eraser) - which I thought I was getting. Thus the saving was 20% rather than 50%.Overall, if you are considering buying this as an alternative to the RM pens, price alone is unlikely to be the driver as the price gap has narrowed. However, if you like the thick, fountain pen feel, built-in eraser is not your priority and prefer a clip cap over magnetic attachment, then this would be a good alternative to use with Remarkable tablets.
