GooglePixel Slate Pen

Google pen worked as advertised, but really believe it is over-priced

I bought this for my wife and she loves it

It's usi 2.0 compatible but will not write on the pixel tablet for some reason.

Not sure why I see so many negative reviews...This is not an Apple Pencil, and it doesn't pretend to be. Stop comparing it to an object that it really just isn't.That said. I have a Pixelbook. This pen was easy to pair, and it's easy to use. It writes clearly, and there's no lag. It also has that lovely little assistant button that just makes my whole life easier. :)Now. Here's what some of my fellow reviewers are nitpicking about.•It takes a battery. One triple A is included and you'll have to buy more after that runs dead. But you won't be buying a new pen in a year when the internal battery dies. Instead, you have the pen that just keeps on penning, so long as you keep it supplied with batteries. I'm not you. But I'll take that over needing to replace the whole object in a year or so. The cost of one year of batteries is far less than a new device, and it doesn't go through them fast at all.•It doesn't clip to the pixel book or pixelSlate. I mean your regular pens never clipped to your notebooks either. Invest in a nice case and remember that the easy way out isn't always the best. Better protect your pixel pen separately from your device so it won't get scratched or damaged when not in use.•It rolls. It does indeed roll. So does every other writing instrument ever. The fact that it works with a computer shouldn't mean we all get to forget to watch our stuff. Put it in a pencil case when it's not in use instead of leaving it around for anything to happen to it. Consider it a lesson From Google on how to remember to treat your stuff with respect. Also, that roundness feels great in your hand. It's like, you know, a real pen!•The battery can't just recharge on my computer. Nope, it can't. Good old fashioned batteries work best here, see my first point.So you will see, if you read my review carefully that, this pixel pen is great for owners of the Pixelbook and/or the PixelSlate. It's beaten its competitors by a mile or more. simply because one can just change a battery and there you go, pen's good as new again. Don't discount the value of this pen because of the less kind reviews. It works well and it feels great in the hand. Oh, and it looks stunning when paired with its fellow google devices.

I ordered this thinking I was getting the midnight blue pen as pictured. It was just the standard Pixel Pen in black. The image is misleading. I returned it because it was the wrong color.

I purchased this with the Google Slate tablet, knowing that there'd be issues with the touch screen. Turns out the pixel pen has zero issues with the touchy touch screen! Unfortunately the battery life isn't great, it requires one tiny AAAA battery, that I think often comes loose inside, triggering a notification every few seconds that your pen's battery is low. Another negative is that AAAA batteries aren't sold at most stores, requiring a special trip or to order.

I love and hate this.I love what a difference it makes, allowing very accurate detail through higher resolution than my fingertip offers.I hate that at about $100, I know how upset I will be when I leave it somewhere like I frequently do with regular pens!So long as I remember to not carry it with me but only use it in the office and at home, things will be great!Setup: No, it just works.learning curve: Can you use a pen? Then you have got this.

I use the Google Pixel Slate's Pen to take notes on the device. It works very well for this purpose and makes my note taking a lot faster when I can sketch out little structure diagrams, rather than trying to write and describe every thing in words. This has enabled me to fully transition away from paper notebooks, which worked better than a laptop for my workflow, but then became impossible to find stuff over time.I use the Pen with Microsoft OneNote and find that it is perfect with that application. I hear that other note taking apps are good as well.I also added a paper-touch screen cover to my Slate and found that the bit of extra friction makes the pen feel just like using a nice pen on nice paper. The writing experience improves fractionally, but it's just enough that you really forget you're using a tablet.
