Question:
Cross executive resume tip pen in the EU?
has anyone managed to locate a reseller for the Cross Penabled
Executive Pen in the EU yet?
Cross USA only sells and ships within N/S America, and Cross EMEA
does still not carry that pen, apparently. Would be nice to get
something more ergonomic and weighty than the standard rattly Wacom
OEM Tablet PC pens - and at $50 the cross pen doesn't seem that
prohibitively expensive either... Someone already bought one in the EU?
Answer:
-If you say it has
similar feel like the Cross Executive pen I'll believe that,
certainly looks similar to it :
The problem remains the same, though. Where to get one in the EU?
I googled and found www.motioncomputing.de, but they do not have any
online shop or order form, nor any list of representatives or
distributors :
www.motioncomputing.com isn't very encouraging either, "Note to
Non-US residents, Please feel free to register with us to save your
cart or get our newsletter. However you will be unable to purchase
Motion products from this website."
Wacom pens, mainly the Cintiq Grip Pen, would be an excellent
replacement too. The Grip Pen is available here locally in a shop,
but punches a 100eur (~$120 USD) mini black hole in the wallet... :-/
Okay...
Anyone from the EU know where to get either that Motion or Cross
pen? Or if you're from EU, from where did you buy one?
-It doesn't feel like the Cross pen. I have both and quite honestly, I prefer
the Motion pen but it does not feel like the Cross at all. Cross slides more
freely on the surface of the tablet, it also has a metal feel to it and it's
heavier. Also, the Motion's pen tip is easier to see when you're trying to
do an accurate click because the cross has a thicker pen tip. It's hard to
explain. I like them both, but I use the motion pen way more. Maybe that's
also because it fits inside the tablet.
The eraser on the Cross pen is much better than the one on the Motion
however. Motion's eraser does not push in at all which makes it a little
weird to get used to.
