" ... The pen loses connectivity way too often and you need to re-pair the pen. ... "

" ... It isn't so durable and the insides rattle after a little wear and tear. ... "
" ... While my hand writing will have smooth curves to the letters, the notes are squared off and almost look like they are made up of a series of straight lines as compared to my actual writing. ... "

" ... It would not stay charged from one day to next. ... I fully charged pen on 2 occasions for important next day meeting only to find it unable to initiate next day at meeting. ... "
