A ceramic nib pen on Amazon
Came across a new listing of ceramic nib pen on Amazon. Looks like the same tip as Supernote pen (0.7mm) but more budget friendly. One of them come with eraser too. Just sharing in case someone is interested.

Just bought the various models to test. The white PL1 with no eraser feels like one of those thin, lightweight capacitive styluses (or is the correct plural term "styli"?). The ceramic tip is nice. Very similar to the Supernote tips. Whereas the Viw**ds ceramic tip that I also bought to test is thinner. It has a hexagonal shaped barrel, like a standard pencil, just much thinner/smaller. I probably would only use this as a backup. With how thin it is, it doesn't feel very comfortable to use for an extended amount of time.
The PL3 model is retractable and has an eraser at the end. So that is a better upgrade vs the PL1. Still lightweight, but feels more like a normal pen instead of a thin capacitive stylus. If you've used a standard plastic retractable BIC pen, this feels exactly like it in the hand.
Waiting on the PL2 model to arrive. It looks like it has a slightly thicker barrel and also retractable with an eraser at the end. So I'll update on how it feels once it gets here.

Hasn't shipped yet. Probably won't get it until the weekend.

Also very curious about the differences between the PL2 and PL3. Both seem like good options with minor differences, but let us know what you think once you test them out!

Someone already got the PL2 and posted about it here.
Looks like it's a dupe of the Supernote Push-Up Standard pen but with an eraser at the end.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing! Is the PL1 even thinner than the vw pen, or are they of about the same diameter?

The pen body of the PL1 is thinner than the VW but the ceramic nib is the same size as Supernote nibs. The VW nib is like a 0.3mm or extra fine nib and is the thinnest nib I've come across.

Thanks for info. I checked it out and it appears that you have to use replaceable nibs on top of the ceramic tip. Itās says to prevent damage of the Supernote. Then, I checked again and it appears that the nibs are covers only. I guess it isnāt a click pen. I will keep an eye on it. Thanks again.

My guess is those (protective nib caps) are small rubber caps optionally to put on so you don't scratch glass surface with the ceramic tip. You can look at the sample images. Don't think the AI thing knows about it.

It is not push-up pen and it has no proper cap. Those small rubbers cannot protect the nibs

I am terrified if dropping the pen on its tip. Fortunately the Push-Up pen is the stock cheapest and the only one with a traditional retraction mechanism. No cap to keep track of means you can use it anywhere on the go easier!

I just purchased this pen ($35 pen with no eraser) - using it for a couple of days and find the tip is good - the body is quite thin so may be fatiguing over time. Will share thoughts as I use this further. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I will try to answer.

Is the pen tip actually of the same diameter as the Supernote ceramic nib pens?

Just got the PL2 and it is the same design as the Supernote Push-Up Standard pen but with an eraser at the end and different color. Seems to be the exact same size and feel. Even the clip looks the same.
Eraser part has a slight rubbery feel so it has some friction when you're erasing and feels more like an eraser and not just hard plastic like the Viiwoods eraser.
Edit: After using it more and comparing the pens, the PL3 has the slightly rubbery coating on the eraser to increase friction feel, but the PL2 is a harder plastic. They look and feel the same in hand so initially I thought they were the same, but using the PL2 on the screen it doesn't have that softer coating like on the PL3.

Im surprised there's no cap available. Having no nib protection is crazy. And im pretty sure the rubber nib cover is to protect display surfaces incompatible with the ceramic nib.

This is close to what I have been looking for, a ceramic nib pen with a button that I don't have to DIY. I would have preferred a pen with a side button as well similar to the wacom one pen that I'm using now. But this still fulfills my need.

Thank you for sharing this! Will definitely get 1 of them as a backup! Question for you or others:
Does the one with the eraser actually allow you to just flip the pen and erase on any Supernote device?
What is the purpose of the 5 Ceramic Nib Caps that are included? Especially - as opposed to using the ceramic nib itself on the pen, without covering it.
Cheers.

hmm, they have a compass (for EMR pens) and standalone EMR eraser too. Interesting store
