Loving the dark pattern that it "starts at $579" and then the 'buy now' page tries to default you to adding on additional options that bump that up to over $700...


Two big buttons to choose one of the folios and a small radio button below for no folio. And the Type Folio is + 249 € but also Save up to 49 € with bundle, so it actually "only" costs 200 €. Why would you even do this, make it appear more expensive then it is and on top of that confuse me, is selecting a folio already the bundle or can I somewhere buy a bundle that saves 49 € instead?


A big issue is that it requires a new pen. The earlier pens are not compatible.

I use a 3rd party pen with the RM2, much better ergonomics, but not clear what now will work.


That is a big disappointment --- for a while it looked as if everyone would standardize on the new generation of Wacom EMR (w/ 4096 pressure levels) so that a Staedtler Noris Digital or Lamy Wacom EMR stylus works w/ a wide variety of devices --- I use them on:

- Samsung Galaxy Note 10+

- Kindle Scribe

- Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360

- Wacom One (attached to my MacBook)

and I couldn't count the number of styluses I have floating around my home/office.


Super weird, we use the Lamy pen on the Daylight Computer and it's the best thing ever


The new pen looks to be battery powered, whereas the old one didn't require a charge. They might be doing something fancy for better writing and gesture detection.


Candidates include:

- Wacom EMR w/ Bluetooth (not likely)

- Wacom AES

- NTrig

- something from the Universal Stylus Initiative: https://universalstylus.org/
