Paper Mate Multipurpose [Posted on 2007-10-25] Pros:

- Good grip
- Smooth operation for writing with pen, pencil, and also as stylus
Cons:
- Slightly oversized
- Twisting action to change instrument does not lock well, particularly when selecting the ballpen
Flimsy clip frustrates [Posted on 2007-11-09] The pen is fine, functions well and has the same great feel I've loved in the PHD pen. HOWEVER, the clip part is made of cheap stamped 'metal' and quickly was bent out away from the barrel of the pen. Small needle nose pliers couldn't really return it to the right position. This meant that it wouldn't clip securely and felt awkward in the hand. They need to spend a couple of pennies more on beefing that clip up.
I won't buy another.
Great for People with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome [Posted on 2008-01-25] I have developed a serious case of carpal tunnel syndrome over the years. It hurts to write with a normal pen and a normal PDA stylus is agony. This pen has been the only product I found to solve the problem. The only problem I have found is that the pen is getting harder to find. At least it is still online. Hopefully Papermate isn't giving up. And if they do I hope it is for a better product for those of us suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. If you want a pen, pencil, and stylus AND you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome then this pen may be the answer.
Enjoy It While It Lasts [Posted on 2008-02-12] The ink flows just right, the pencil lead stays in place and the stylus is great. The pen itself feels great in the hand, very much like a Dr. Grip. Major problem though, the clicking method works for a couple weeks, then the pen starts to push back up inside while you're writing. Returned the 1st one, now the 2nd one started doing the same thing. At $10-ish a pop, that shouldn't happen.
pen gave out very quick no refil available [Posted on 2008-03-26] like the ergonomics but the pens give out and parker does not have a refil availble
