Seems sturdy. Bit expensive. Works reliably. Only picked it up one time when it was inexplicably dead; otherwise it seems to hold a charge.

It works well, only issue I have with it is when I accidentally hit the highlight button whilst writing.

As I wrote in my review of the eReader, the stylus isn't supported as well as it should be by the software. You can use it to scribble on your books, and those scribbles do sync to Kobo for Kobo ebooks - so you can see them on your phone and other devices - but it's just kind of a 'dead' annotation in that I don't think you can actually find or use it outside the book. A lot like writing on a physical book (though easily removable) in that the content is stuck to that page. There is great Kobo support for adding notes to books that you can export, but that's in the same ereader software that's used on all Kobo devices so I assume this is why the handwriting recognition library isn't linked into it. There's a notebook app with amazing handwriting recognition (my handwriting is terrible and it made no mistakes), and this is exportable as PDF etc. So, nice stylus hardware, some nice ways the software works with it, but not actually integrated into the system where I most want it and so doesn't get the use I had hoped for.

I really like that it comes in both a black and white color option, and that it comes with replacement pen tips. What I don’t like though is the palm rejection while using the stylus. It’s hard to write, as sometimes when doing so, the page will turn.

Compared to some stylus, I feel this was a tad expensive. However, I do not regret the purchase and it works great. My only big gripe is the usb port facing up when magnetically attached and that it's exposed. Wish it had a cover or something to keep debris out.

Out of all the styluses I've used, from Samsung to Apple, Kobo is by far the smoothest and realest feeling in the hand. The eraser, to my delight, even has the "grip" of being real rubber despite being plastic. Easy to use, great to hold, even better to write with.

The stylus pen is very sleek and I love that it’s magnetic to the the Kobo case so you’ll never lose it.

The biggest letdown is the pen. It’s not intuitive. Writing notes is laggy, highlights pop up when I’m trying to write, and it doesn’t feel smooth or responsive. Notes don’t stay visible—they turn into shortcuts you have to pull up later. The magnetic attachment for the pen feels awkward—it doesn’t sit flush or straight.

a nice product let down but UX which requires you to connect it to a charger directly instead of charging magnetically. doesn't do a good job of letting you know the battery is dying soon and in general feels lacking.

Expensive but nicely built and works very well and easily, right out of the box.
