Looks like an overpriced copy of this, without the utility of having a replaceable touch screen stylus:

You can buy two of these for the price of one LYPEN.

48thRonin2BIGiDESIGN is definitely a great product. We highly recommend them. Although, we assure you the pens are two different types of pens. The LYPEN can handle all fisher, pilot, and Parker refills. Not just 30ish. The LYPEN also comes with a Tungsten Steel Tip for tactical purposes. The utility of a stylus is for a completely different type of audience.

MarkAnthonyI've put Fisher pressurized Space Pen refills, Pilot G2 refills, and currently, Parker Gel refills in mine. All fit and function perfectly, without the need for a small reducer collar which will be separated from the pen and easily lost. From the pics posted on Massdrop, it isn't clear where the location of the "Tungsten Steel Tip for tactical purposes" is placed on the pen or it's utility. Tungsten is not steel - are you mixing up some sort of proprietary alloy of the two materials? For what purpose?
" Tungsten carbide (chemical formula: WC) is a chemical compound (specifically, a carbide) containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. In its most basic form, tungsten carbide is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes for use in industrial machinery, cutting tools, abrasives, armor-piercing rounds, other tools and instruments, and jewelry. Tungsten carbide is approximately twice as strong as steel, with a Young's modulus of approximately 530–700 GPa (77,000 to 102,000 ksi),[3][6][7][8] and is double the density of steel."

48thRonin2Hi there,
The steel in the “Tungsten Steel Tip” refers to the fact that the entire shape of where the Tungsten sits on top of is made of steel. The darker cone shaped tip of the entire end is Tungsten. Please see attached image.
Thats awesome that you can fit all those on the BIGiDESIGN pen! By all means, stick with that pen. When we initially did our tests, the pen didn’t fit all of the refills that we tried. Perhaps we have missed something since! At the end of the day, sounds like the BIGiDESIGN pen makes more sense to you! I would definitely stick it. The LYPEN is not for everyone.
