LunaTik Alloy Touch Pen - 0.7 mm Roller Ball Pen + Stylus - Red Body

I've purchased several capacitive stylus pen combinations and I always felt they were lacking in one way or another. The design of this one is excellent. This transfers from a stylus to a pen with one click. No caps to remove and lose. You don't have to flip between opposite ends to use for different purposes. It also is a normal sized pen when so many others are tiny and seemingly not intended for regular use. It is also nice that the capacitive stylus is not on the same end as the clip which would make it uncomfortable to use. I have to say that I really prefer the aluminum alloy over the less expensive plastic version, but you may disagree depending on your preferences. I use this with my note taking app on my iPad regularly.

At this point I can't say how this item holds up over time, but it seems very well constructed and I have high hopes. My dream pen/capacitive stylus combo has options for more than one color ink plus an easy and comfortable to use capacitive stylus. In the meantime, I have settled on using two of the alloy lunatics with different color ink.

This is a relatively good pen, but from the first day I got it the top layer of the rubber started peeling off the top which is a bit annoying and doesn't look very nice so to me it doesn't seem worth the price.

It took me a few minutes to figure this out but the stylus works best when you are actually holding the black area of the stylus. If your holding the pen body (at least on the polymer) pen, the stylus part doesn't work well, if at all. Once I figured this out, I really like this pen. I would like to pick up a metal one, i bet if feels much better in the hand.

Pen feels good and writes nicely, the stylus works great, but the pen won't always retract when you click the end. Can make it always work by pressing the tip down on something when I click to retract, but I'm really not impressed with the mechanism.
