- Here are the current three pen/stylus options when you get a Ratta Supernote A5/A5X/A6X e-ink notebook. One of them is my favorite. I'll tell you which, and why. I'll go over the details of each one.

What is your favorite? I bet there are a lot of different opinions on this!
Lamy
The orignial
Do you think that the Lamy pen or the HOM would feel more like a nice fountain pen on thick paper?
Does the button on Lamy EMR works on supernote A6x and A5x?
Hi. Is the writting feel slippery or u still get a paper feel?
Another great vid. Detailed and super helpful. Thanks a lot ! Was going for that one myself, but good to know the differences
Thanks for the detailed analysis! This was very helpful 👍
This was surprisingly informative. I've watched a few videos on this tablet and this has been the one that gave the best attention to each of the pens. I say surprisingly because I didn't expect to learn that the HOM pen won't be a good fit for me. I never noticed that texture area right where I would grip. Glad I saw this or I might have been disappointed with my choice. Most appreciated.
Love your videos, man. Just bought the A5X with the heart of metal pen.
I've already decided on the A5X. Now I'm trying to decide which of the three pens to purchase. I have been inclined to go with the Heart of Metal pen, but your analysis sealed the deal. Thanks for such a useful and in-depth comparison.
Bought the A5X with the heart of metal pen. Love both. Amazing to write on, able to read my kindle books and at the same time write my notes from my CPD and marking assignments. Thank you for your in depth reviews. It was an immense help in purchasing the supernote.
Any trouble with cap falling off?
Thank you so much - excellent video! I have decided to get the Lamy!
So appreciate your attention to detail! I love my Papermate Ultra 1mm and the pen is my biggest 'worry' about transition to the Supernote..
Amazing comparison! Thanks!
Thanks for this. Very informative. I just got the standard pen (at the time, had no info on why to spend more) and am really glad I did because I do not choke up on my pen nib like you do. I hold it further back, and it appears that the standard pen is designed for that grip. For you it felt unbalanced, but I think that's with your closer hold. For me, holding it just behind the start of the barrel, it sits gently and perfectly balanced when released.
I love that both grip types have been accommodated. I wish they would use that in their description.
My favorite pen for best writing experience is Boox Note Air pen, followed by Samsung S6 lite pen and then HOM pen.
Thanks for your detailed review.
Fantastic video. Exactly the info I wanted. I was going to go with the Lamy because of the eraser button. But I think I just changed my mind.
I wish the Lamy had the option of the ceramic nib.
Thank you! It is a great experience!
Thank you Sir! This video is super helpful to help me identify what kind of pen to look for SuperNote A6X. I like the way you emphasized the Lamy pen and then suddenly turned against it not being your favorite. I did not see that coming since I was expecting the Lamy to be the best amongst them. It turned out that other people think Heart & Metal was still the best as well.
PERFECT video!! THANK YOU!!!! 😁🙌
I was using the Remarkable 2 until watching your excellent videos, now I have the A5X and heart of Metal pen, love the feel of the pen, far more than the soft Remarkable pen, love A5X over the Remarkable 2. Just wish there was a Windows PC app that would sync in real time, so I could type notes on PC and they would appear on the A5X to open in a meeting. Thanks for the videos.
I’m sure something like that will come soon. They have said they are going to release the api... the. People can make app for it.
@@EVERYTHINGcpo hello CPO,
What's the news about it, nowadays ?
I have to say that i'm craving to get one of this device... :)
Bye
It have WiFi. If convert ur notes to pdf. U able to send the pdf to via email?
I love my HOM2 and it's one of the main reasons I chose the A5X over a Boox device. I ordered both at the same time, but I just couldn't get over the desire for the fine point ceramic nib of the HOM2. I'd love an eraser, but with the easy two-finger erasing - I just didn't see that as reason enough to not use the pen I prefer everyday. Thanks for the vid - will have to check out to see if you ever did one on the HOM2 when it came out.
Thanks for your informative video. Much appreciated! Would you still prefer HOM2 if the Lamy pen would come with a ceramic nib?
Love my A5X and HOM pen. Your reviews helped me narrow because of using my device for business meetings. Just returned the RM2, one reason and to help others... the RM2 writing lines did not do well with my small writing. I like .5 pens and to get that on RM2, I had to use their thinner line and it shows too light onscreen to be usable. A5X fine line is perfect for the way I wrote. IMHO : )
Useful. I've had this issue with other writing apps. My writing isn't "small", but it get illegible if I don't use a thin line/nib, and most are too light.
Excellent review, CPO. You covered all of the features and attributes of the three pens extensively, including the writing experiences. Just what I needed to know. These styluses are another reason to love Supernote.
Just one thing I’m curious about - spoiler alert - I assume the HOM pen is also your favourite for drawing, but what about marking up documents where you’d use a stylus to highlight text rather than write? ... Would Lamy’s “gliding over the paper” be better here than HOM’s “digging into the paper” sensation?
Whatever the case, it’s good to see one manufacturer offering high quality pens (plural) that deliver different benefits to different users.
Great reviews! Now I know not to get the standard pen because I grip like you.
Maybe you should sign up to be an affiliate? They should feature this video on their site!
Can the DIY refill be used in the Lamy?
Something that not many people talk about on any of these e-ink devices is security. I know a few have a fingerprint scanner to unlock the device and I know most have a PIN or password to unlock too.
That’s about as far as it goes. Is it possible to lock individual notes? Is it possible to disable syncing notes to cloud so they are not compromised? Are notes encrypted on device so that they are protected from malware and other malicious code or hacks?
if you care so much about privacy, this would logically conclude that you know a lot about tech and software and computers. and if you do, then it won't be a problem to you. because you can modify the entire (android) device just the way you like it. write your own scripts and codes. sideload your own apolications. make your own rules. modify the software.
the things you mentioned as privacy concerns are some very basic easy things that anybody literate in tech can set up easily themselves.
you should learn more about tech. it would help you
Thank you big thumbs up
I would describe the sensation of writing with a nice fountain pen as the movement and line making takes no effort but it also stops as soon as you want it too.
I feel like the heart of metal/default pen give not the feeling of a fountain pen but fulfill a similar consistency.
I am struggling between HOM and Lamy.
Thanks very much.
Excellent review, thank you. One question: Does the HOM pen fit in the standard pen loop in the case, like the default pen, or would I need to get the larger looped case?
It fits the standard loop. The Lamy does not.
This sounds crazy - but can you take a file /knife or scissors to the nib of the LAMY pen to get the tip that you want?
As nice as the eraser is on the Lamy pen, the ceramic nib is decisive.
Surely one of these companies will try adding a camera to these devices. It would allow you to take a screenshot and mark it up.
does the remarkable marker plus work on the supernote? And how does it feel?
Funny enough, I ordered the HOM tonight. I keep hitting the eraser button while writing and it just idk, doesn't feel right to me. RATTA put a nice button on your pen! I can't wait for my HOM
Thank you for the great review. The HOM will be my choice. I’m trying to figure out if it will be the A5X or the A6X. Tough decision. Any advice?
I prefer the A5X as it’s a more comfortable size for the things I use it for. It’s my normal “notebook” size.
@@EVERYTHINGcpo Thank you sir. After much thought, that’s the way to go. It makes sense for my work. A mortgage broker dealing with files and PDF’s. I really appreciate your views. And advice.
Agree, for business meetings and notes, PDFs, you will be happy with the A5X size. Initially thought it would be too big for me, not at all, perfect. After using A5X, you will forget the A6X. Hope this helps : )
@@CR-yy1ep Ok, that seals it. I will order it tonight. Thank you again. I really appreciate you getting back to me. You're opinion helped me a lot.
Thank you
I almost didn't want to buy Nomad when I first tested writing with Lamy. Luckily I tried the standard and HOM. Finally went with HOM. That is the best for me
The lamy pen that u got is for glossy screen or for matte?
Thanks for this video. I just bought a boox note 3 and I'm looking for a good stylus replacement. which stylus is better? Is it safe to use a supernote pen with ceramic nib on the boox note 3 screen so that I won't have to keep changing the nibs? Or which other stylus do you suggest? can you please do a video on stylus and nibs specifically for only box note? thank you
You CANNOT use a ceramic nib with the Boox devices. It will scratch the display. With that said, I like the Samsung S-pen with gray nib on the Boox devices.
Thank you so much. You just saved my boox note device.
@@EVERYTHINGcpo , just use a screen protector. I have an Onyx Boox Nova Air 2, and I use a Heart of Metal 2.
I love the heart of metal. Its more comfortable to write with. The original one isn't as nice to write with.
You can buy a PC/EL pointed replacement nib for the LAMY pen, which is only about four and a half bucks.
The rounded LAMY POM nib is 0.7mm, but their PC/EL pointed nib is 0.35mm. Sounds like you just want to change the nib in your LAMY pen to that one.
I tried to link to the LAMY website with info about it, and RUclips removed my comment, so you might have to google it
Interesting, thanks for pointing this out
Do these pens also work with the Remarkable or Boox devices?
No
Yes, it works with Onyx Boox. I have an HOM 2 and a Nova Air 2. Just use a matte screen protector and all will be ok
Do these pens work on the Remarkable/Onyx note?
Hey have u notice the battery draining quicker with the most recent update, am so disappointed. I just wanted to know if I am the only seeing this.
I actually think you may be onto something. I thought there was supposed to be a battery improvement, but it does feel like it went the other way. I’ll try and pay more attention.
@@EVERYTHINGcpo I noticed the difference after a day or two when I was using the tablet the battery drains pretty quick I have to constantly recharging it and it gets me upset because these E tablets are not cheap to be going through these battery issues.
Hey CPO, I have another question for you hoping u can help me out because supernote isn't doing nothing for me, after that big update I have been losing battery quicker like I last explained before and now my pen starts to write in mid air without even touching the tablet, it's like a long stream like I was air brushing but with a thin line and I have to constantly be resetting and also when I choose either to write or erase it dosent let me choose it and starts to flicker. If u have any idea on what I can do please help.
Ratta Supernote should give the same utility to all pens, i.e. *_eraser button_* so we do not have to settle for the lesser of the evils in terms of feel ONLY!!!
Interesting. Perhaps the Lamy would write better with a different nib? But if you're like me, you'd rather not bother. I've had my 5X for a couple weeks now, and I've tried three pens so far: the base level, the Staedtler Noris Jumbo, and the pen from my Galaxy Tab S7. Like you and the Lamy, I love the erase button on the S7 pen, but, while not bad, it's my least favorite "grip feel." The thin shaft is rounded, but with one flattened side. It also has a metallic feel. The nib is on the soft side, and of course will wear out. Writing with the S7 pen is OK. The Jumbo has a thin triangular shaft that is a bit pliable, so it feels pretty good to grip. The nib is fine tipped and more firm than the S7 pen, and will wear out. Writing feel is good. Cpo covered the base Ratta pen, which of course, like the HoM, will never require a nib replacement. Writing feel is also good. I'd rank the base pen first overall and the Jumbo a close second. I'm still thinking about ordering the HoM though, as that's the only fully rounded shaft. And it's a bit thicker than the other three I have.
If I could get the Lamy with the ceramic nib... I am certain it would be the SUPERPEN! :-)
How is the contact of these pens with the screen. Is the does the stardust have a felt. In? Does writing feel slippery, or does it feel sticky, or neither. I have the HoM, which feels slippery using the fine liner pen, but less so with the ballpoint (unfortunately, the pressure sensitivity of this pen results in uneven script, though the resistance is good£. Writing with my Llamy (which I bought elsewhere) feels slippery, but when I switch the nib to a remarkable nib or Wacom one nib, they feel and sound ‘sticky’ to write with.
I am looking for experiences of lefthanded people with these pens
they are all symmetrical in shape. so no difference
I prefer the Lamy pen. I also prefer the Staedtler styluses over the HoM. The problem with my HoM is that the ceramic nib moves around slightly.
I wish I saw this video before I bought my supernote with lamy package 🥲
100% agree with him. The LAMY POM nib and Supernote screen does not produce a good writing experience. The POM nib is too thick and too slippery. The tablet is really made to work with the ceramic nibs.
Ratta also doesn't allow pen exchanges. So choose wisely.
Ratta have now changed the film used on the surface of the SN. You might want to try it out.
