I just got mine yesterday. Feels very nice in the hand when writing and using it as a stylus. The stylus tip glides over my PDA screen very nicely. There seems to be some extra weight in the middle of the pen, changing the center of balance more towards the middle. The laser is bright in low light areas, and the flashlight will adequately light up about 2-5 yards.

My only complaints are that the buttons for using the laser pointer and LED flashlight rattle around a bit in the pen, and that there's no way to prevent the buttons from being pushed while the pen is riding around in my pocket.

Update:

I've had this pen for about a month, and the tip broke off. The glue holding the tip to the collar gave way, right in the middle of a meeting. I would revise this review to 2 stars, but I can't change the rating.

I ordered Boxwave's Ominpen pro because i needed a stylus for my G1. Even though the website listed it with other G1 accessories, It did not work with the G1. The G1, as well as the iPod touch, iPhone, and Blackberry Storm use capacitive touchscreens. Capacitive touchscreens register the electrons in your fingernails, which is why they dont work with styluses and other things besides your fingerpads. The Nintendo Ds series, LG Dare, Samsung Instinct, and HTC Touch Diamond use Resistive touchscreens. Resistive screens are comprised of several layers. The top layer, usually a clear polyester film, is flexible. When a finger presses down, the top layer comes in contact with a lower glass layer. The voltage is measured and the location of the press is computed. That is why stluses work with these types of phones.

If your buying the Omnipen pro, make sure you look up which type of touchscreen your device uses.

I rated this product three stars because although the stylus didn't work, it is still an excelent pen and the Flashlight and Lazerpointer are pretty cool. They're great for presentations!

I bought this pen from BoxWave, which they show as compatible with my table PC. As soon as I received the pen, I realized that not only was the pen NOT compatible with my laptop, it is also pretty poorly made.

Also, trying to get BoxWave to respond to any inquiries is near impossible...as they don't list a phone number. They only communicate by email.

The only reason I give it one star is because the laser light and pen light are nice and fun to use. The actual ink pen writes pretty nicely, as well.
