I'm interested on hearing if there is an improvement in initial activation. That would be my main buying point and so far I cant find anyone doing concise comparisons with the former pen models.
I never heard of people using metal nibs for display tablets, and I'd guess that's because textured glass is still harder than metal, and the friction will still erode the metal tip. It might even leave streaks of metal like when you use those metal pencils that write by leaving soft metal residue on paper.
@@H-L Oh, very few people do. Boichi is a professional artist who does use metal nibs on his pen display. And some videos even record him doing that. Now, having a full metal nib is not ideal if your pen is not very resistant. Only the tip of the nib should be metallic in such case, while the trunk can be in plastic. If the trunk is in plastic, it won't damage the inside of your drawing pen. The damage doesn't necessarily remove functionality, but, from experience, it worsens pen pressure force. Especially Initial Activation Force. Long term usage of a full metal nib increases this IAF. Now, so far, no manufacturer truly takes care of building such types of pen nibs(metallic tip and plastic trunk).
@@eddyalvaross2195 I hadn't even considered damage to the pen, tho I don't think it would be good for the screen. I can see people using those for regular drawing tablets where scratches don't compromise the product, but since metal nibs are that much harder than plastic ones I imagine any dust crystal that gets caught by it would scratch the screen much harder. They may work for displays with protective film. As for making metal nibs with plastic bodies, that seems like an expensive process compared to regular ones. I think there's a good reason big brands don't make those, because if they worked well Wacom would make them and sell for like 200 bucks.

I want metal nibs. Not felt nibs.
I want lifetime durability.
Or at least durability that lasts 15 years with day to day use.
