Lamy AL-star EMR black (PC/EL tip) - Stylus Pen for many Android devices - Touchscreen pen with ergonomic grip - precise writing & drawing on digital media - with function button

This was an investment, as it's expensive for a tablet stylus. However, from experience I think it's worth every penny. Two reasons: a) It's by far the best stylus I've used with my re:Markable2 tablet. It actually feels like using a pen on paper, and you can write at normal handwriting speed with it, unlike the many cheap £10-£15 stylii out there. This alone makes it worth it, as it actually makes writing on the re:Markable a pleasure. b) It's WAY more comfortable to hold inthe hand than the thin "stick" stylii that fill the chap end of the market. Not a big deal for a few scribbles, but using those things gets tiresome if you're writing out a brain dump over many pages. Infact it's like writing with a decent rollerball pen, such as the ArtLine's, which are particularly pleasurable to write with. If I had one minor criticism, it's that the clip is a bit too big to fit on the side of the folio case I have for my re:Markable. However, that's a personal preference as I travel a lot, and if I used it only at home, or I had a case with a place to clip it to, it's not a big deal, and can be remedied by buying a case that has this (I bought my case before buying the stylus). On the bonus side, it also comes with two replacement nibs, which is even better as I chose this because I'd already read that the nibs are long lasting. Summary: Expensive, but worth it. If you have a re:Markable2, you'll enjoy using this stylus with it.

I have been using this pen on my new Kindle Scribe 2024 for a number of hours only (received it this morning) and I do like it indeed. The unique thing about it for me is that it has a 0.35 mm tip, compared to the regular 0.70 mm. The built quality seems good so far, but it's too early to judge, isn't it? The Function Button is convenient and responsive, the grip is also good and comfortable. As far as I know, this is the only digital stylus with a classic pen design out there, which is also unique. Only issue with this pen is that its brand name will always remind me of our spineless Foreign Minister.

My Onyx Nova Air pen broke and I needed a replacement, I chose this because of the cap, as I’m hoping to protect the pen in the future. It’s a very well made pen, writes beautifully, but it is a lot thinner than my old Onyx Boox pen. The erase button is very useful.

I absolutely love this stylus! I should add that I have been a user of Lamy fountain pens for as long as I can remember, mainly the Al-Star or Safari, and have built up a reasonable collection of them over the years. My 14 year old son also loves Lamy's fountain pens and uses them all the time at school. As such, when the time came for us to try an e-ink tablet, mainly for note-taking, my big fear was that the included Styli'i would be terrible, and so they were. I tried a Kindle Scribe and a Boox Air 2 Plus, and tried the included stylus which shipped with both. Apart from being far too thin for my chunky paws, they really didn't write that well. Given that Kindle and Boox both use Wacom EMR tech for writing which allows any compatible stylus to work on any EMR device (not iPads though which are not EMR), I tried the Boox stylus on Kindle and vice versa and in each case the result was sub-optimal. I was about to send back both tablets and consign digital notetaking to the 'it was a good idea at the time' category of dismal failures, when I happened across the Lamy Al-Star EMR on Amazon, and bought it for a really reasonable price compared to the (overly expensive) OEM options which had shipped with the tablets themselves. Inside 18 hours (a super fast delivery), I had the reassuring heft of at Lamy in my hand again, and I completely fell in love with digital writing. It is completely compatible with both devices, and as I then chose to keep the Scribe and return the Boox, I then configured the Lamy button (which is beautifully positioned for me at least) within the Kindle settings to provide me with the eraser function. Other functions seem to configure just fine too. The writing experience is excellent, far superior to Kindle's own stylus, it is brilliantly well made, and compatible with other Al-Star pens if you want to give the body and cap a colour change, however I see that a widened range of EMR's is coming soon from Lamy. It feels like my old faithful has had the digital transformation it needed to see us happily working together long into the future, and so for me the Lamy is super highly recommended. My 14 year old loves it too, which worries me as I think he now has designs on my Scribe...

The pen has a good thickness to it so it feels good to hold. I previously had the remarkable pen which feels very light in comparison. The pen feels solid and it works well with the remarkable nibs. I actually do like the nib it came with which has a pointy tip. I'm interested to find out how long the Lamy nibs will last in comparison to the remarkable ones. Having tested just on the remarkable tablet RM1, I can only give feedback that the pen is just as good as the original rekarkable pen. There are no delays or weird hapoenings. It works the same. The only difference is the feel of the pen and the quality of the pen. I purchased this pen because my Remarkable pen had a bit chip off by the nib which stopped itnfrom working and super glue brought it back to life for a short period but the plastic was weak. The Lamy seems a lot stronger and it is cheaper than buying a replacement Remarkable pen (marker). 1 thing that is a bit annoying (On Remarkable) there is a button where you hold the pen and sometimes, i press that button and on the Remarkable it created a straight line away from where you was writting. A bit strange but annoying at times. It depends on how you hold it but after a lot of writting insend to move my grip on the pen, i can probably adapt but i wished the button just did nothing.

This pen woeks perfectly on my Boox, my Bigme and my Scribe. THe button works fine on the Scribe. I have it on the eraser setting, but you could use any of the options the Scribe offers. There is nothing to tell you how you could use it on anything else though - no instructions whatsoever. For me the thickness and the weight are just right; it's all a matter of personal taste. This is the only stylus I know of that has a cover for the nib with a clip, and that's really useful for protecting the pen if you want to carry it in your pocket, briefcase etc. It also balances the pen perfectly when you put the cover on the other end. Altogether a good buy.

This pen has made writing and drawing on my Samsung tablet so much easier. The pen the Samsung tablet comes with is convenient but too small for prolonged use so I had my eye on this lamy pen from day one. I finally got it for my birthday last month and have been using it ever since. I have put my Samsung one away now. This pen is so comfy and easy to use and I love it. It doesn't feel quite like the lamy fountain pen but it's as close as we can get in a digital pen I think. The nib is still in great condition and I have used the pen almost daily for a month now. I am going to try some other more grippy tips as this is compatible with others but the default tip is great, I just want a more grippy feel for drawing purposes. The clip is okay on it but honestly I never use that as it doesn't fit anywhere on my tablet case. If there was a nice case stand that stored this sort of pen I'd buy it in a heartbeat but I have yet to find one. I would say one thing could be better. I would love some more fun and bright colours as sometimes I put this down and it disappears due to the colour blending in with my desk and table.

I loved this pen, when I first got it. I feels like a pen I would normally use day to day. I Use it easily for 8+ hours a day and the larger grip size makes this super comfortable. I also like the rubber style nibs, which give more of a roller ball feel against my Boox note air screen. However after under a month of use, a nib has just 'split off'. Considering the price of the pen, replacing nibs ever 2/3 weeks is going to get very expensive. Hopefully they can improve this in the future.
