I almost feel weird typing this… but I recently got a new pen that doubles as a tablet stylus that just about makes me drool. It’s that nice. I’m talking about the Eco-Essential pen ($50).
Originally a Kickstarter project that raised about $20,000 more than the original funding goal, the Eco-Essential pen is something that resonated, and continues to resonate, with style-conscious techies everywhere.
At it’s core it’s very simple: it’s a pen with an optional stylus tip. But it’s more than that.
What sets it apart from a normal pen and/or tablet is it’s style and construction. It’s made from a beautiful, and sustainable, material: bamboo. Complimenting the body of the pen is a sleek aluminum cap.
It’s also customizable. Thanks to a stretch goal on Kickstarter, buyers can now use alternative cap-tips. Not only can you change the colored ring at the top but you can screw-on a Wacom-compatible tip (so all you designers out there can now have an equally design-worthy instrument).
There’s also an accessory that looks amazing that I haven’t had the pleasure of trying out, but would certainly love to: the Flex-Carry pouch. Be sure to check it out on the website.
There’s really not much else to say other than it writes well and taps equally as well. In other words, it works great and looks amazing.
