Time for a new model stylus?
As I ponder what I want in my next e-note purchase... I find myself wishing there was a new model stylus coming soon from boox and I was curious if anyone else could agree with this. I personally like and dislike both the Pen Plus and Pen 2 Pro but for different reasons:
- Pen Plus
- Likes: Diameter, length, grip, texture, build quality
- Dislikes: Lack of buttons or eraser functionality
- Pen 2 Pro
- Likes: Eraser function, diameter, build quality
- Dislikes: Length (too long), lack of grip and smooth texture, having to flip the stylus to access the eraser
I think Boox should consider just making a single model stylus that combines the features of both the Pen Plus and the Pen 2 Pro as well as some inspiration from the Samsung S Pen all into a single model of premium stylus
What I would like to see is a "Pen Premium" or "Pen Plus 2" that is essentially the current Pen Plus design, but with 2 side buttons, one dedicated for the eraser functionality and one that is software assignable.
Or if you have to have 2 model styluses for upselling... have one basic model with a single button, and a pro model with 2 buttons... Maybe call them the Pen 3 and Pen 3 Pro respectively.
This would give you the ability to erase without having to stop and flip the pen (twice), or having to depend on squiggle erase (which is ok don't get me wrong, but I prefer the precision of a real erase function)... and the extra assignable button would be helpful, especially if boox ever releases a dedicated drawing app or improves the notes app for drawing.
