Despite defect good Reviewed

The pin came in an attractive package including a battery -. Unpacked - switched on and used with the iPad Air. Totally fascinating I find the function. The thin tip gives you a real writing experience and precise lines. The here often criticized precision of lines I can not say - I have considered this with absolute precision.

The pen is great in your hand and works as described. Whether drawing or writing - everything can be done thanks to the thin tip perfectly. The metal tip has no adverse effect, contrary to my fears, it can be relatively silent typing (Sure, the rubber tips are quieter) and it scratched nothing.

However, what bothers me is the very battery drain. I have inserted in the four weeks of usage today the fifth battery. Actually makes me nothing, for which there are good batteries, but if you take into account that this is the hammer for such a small device already real. Compared to other devices and what you have to say do this, one needs already really a lot of energy. And to write or draw? Hm ..... This is truly a return reason - the follow-up costs and the environmental factor would be disproportionate to the benefits of the product ...

Regardless of today the pin is no longer addressed. Despite new battery he could no longer turn on. Whether I might have caught a Monday device and therefore the consumption is so high I do not think though, I will not deny, however.

So - to forgive star is difficult:

Actually, I would have for the function, the look and feel give 5 stars - the pin here corresponds absolutely to the descriptions and is really great
However, the battery consumption is a significant point of criticism. Actually, I feel this is an absolute "no go". In this age of energy conservation a manufacturer should not be a product on the market that such consumption has with regard to the use - it is and remains a pen ...! So - no star ...

The defect in the device is completely neutral for me in the evaluation. I have brought a brand new car after 3 months with an engine failure in the workshop - Hundreds of thousands go around without problems - so it can happen ...

Conclusion:
I would say an absolute buy recommendation for the pin - also I think the price is reasonable. However, this assumes that the energy consumption is lower. In the current state, and I just want to advise against buying ...!
