Incidentally, the replacement of mines smartpen are also softer and write better than the original mine is buying it.
The only thing that could be better resolved is the cap at the Echo smartpen, they can easily lose and is always hard to get off. But as the benefits clearly outweigh, I verschmerze the like.
The blocks are well made and fit well with the pen and hold for longer than I had thought. In my consumption now has 1 Din A5 block maintained for 6 months. One writes anyway neater and more compact when you have such a fine system, has also been good for my writing stem ;-)
