Update: The company sent me a new pen (I'm nobody, by the way, just a guy who bought this pen on Amazon), without me even asking for it.
Initially the new pen exhibited the same skipping the original one did, especially when writing the letter "S" and when dotting the "i", both on e-ink tablets and on my Samsung Tab S. But after a few minutes of scribbling the pen began working flawlessly. My guess would be that the capacitor used in the pen simply needs some time to charge properly and create a good LC circuit, but this is just conjecture on my part.
So knowing this and the stellar customer service – I'm bumping my review to 4 stars. There are still things I don't like about this pen, like its top-heaviness and the eraser location, but if those are non-issues to you, then this is a very good pen. Just know that if it skips on receipt – scribble for a bit or attach the pen to the side of your reader/tablet for a while to let the capacitor build up charge.
Original Review: Trying it on Boox Go 10.3, this pen was a huge disappointment.
The pen skips a lot, unless you press hard when writing, and the nib is very smooth, giving you the feel of writing on an oled tablet screen, rather than an eink notebook. Palm rejection doesn't always work either.
The eraser function being on the top of the pen is not as convenient as having a button at your fingertips, requiring a flip of the pen in your hand every time you want to erase; at this point it's faster to use the toolbar eraser than the one on the pen.
For the price, I recommend the samsung s-pen instead of this one.
