Pros
- When used with PC, this instrument can be used as a mouse, complete with a button to click.
- The pen's battery is tremendous. It just goes on and on.
- While you're using this, the only thing to be careful is to not have anything come between the pen and the receiver.
- This device is not pressure sensitive. So you can't sketch using this device as a stylus.
- The rechargeable base unit need to be recharged about every 8 hours of use.
- This device doesn't work if you use wider or longer paper (than A4 sheet).
- It is kind of weird to pin the base unit on a notebook, as it makes it irksome to turn pages. Also, when you're done writing on a page, you have to press the On/Off button on the base unit to save the page. Not only does it disrupt your flow, but if you forget and start on the next page, you might lose your data or mix it up.
- The bundled Note Manager software fails to turn handwriting to text. The point of this Electropen is to digitalize notes. But you still get your get your handwriting in an image file or PDF but not as editable digital text.
