Wow, I really missed my old pen

Wow, I really missed my old pen

The past few months, I've taken to using the stock pen with my Tablet PC, rather than my old Wacom eraser pen (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2005/07/creating-blog-1.html). I bought the Wacom pen because the pen with my old tablet was too squatty. The pen with my current tablet, however, is full size. I was using them interchangeably at first, but found the stock pen more convenient because it has its own garage in the tablet.

But today, my Wacom pen tumbled out of my pack, so I decided to give it a twirl, and I am surprised by how good it feels. The pens are the same size and dimensions or close to it. Using the same nibs too, but the Wacom pen has a smoother writing feel. It feels a bit springier when pressed against the surface, and it has a tad more heft, which adds to my control.

Makes me wish we had a few more options in terms of pen customization. There are different types of nibs from Wacom (http://direct.wacom.com/stores/5/Intuos3_Grip_Pen_Accessory_Kit_P1032C65.cfm), though Tablet PC vendors don't offer them, but nothing along the lines of interchangeable grips, side-button covers, balancing weights, etc. Seems a shame given the premium price of the pen. A few simple add-ons could go a long way to enhancing the tablet experience for many users.
