Stylus+4-Way Multi-Purpose Pen Review

The Stylus+ by STYLUSplus.com is a very good pen for the price.  Starting at $19.99, it is a great quality pen/pencil/stylus combo that is considerably less expensive than the competition.  My first reaction when I pulled it out of the box was "Wow, this is neat!"




The Stylus+ is a slick looking executive style chrome pen combination.  There is a nice black metal finger grip with a gold band above it that provides a nice professional look.The combo that was sent to me included a 0.5 pencil, a black pen, red pen and stylus.  Stylus color choices include orange, yellow and grey.  You can also choose an orange or pink highlighter which is basically a thicker pen, however my pen did not come with either.  

plunger Each is activated by holding the pen horizontal and rotating it until the desired tip icon is pointing up.  Then just press the plunger.  An eraser is located under the plunger for use with the pencil.  The tip is retracted by pressing a small button on the pocket clip.

There is a slight 'jangle' when the pen is rotated.  This is from the different cartridges inside the barrel.  One of the really great things about this pen is that you can select the tip with one hand.  This is not the case with other multi-tip pens that require twisting.


The pen is a little bit light for my taste but some might consider this a good thing.  It's great to be able to carry one pen and not have to hunt around for a stylus or use the tiny one that comes with the Palm.  I began using it immediately and it is now my 'go to' pen/stylus.  I must admit, the more I use it, the more I like it.

PRODUCT UPDATE:  We recently did a review on the STYLUS+ 4-way from
STYLUSplus.com...the model we did a review on contained a pencil as part of
the pen (pencil, stylus tip, ink, ink)...the pen is now available withOUT a
pencil (stylus tip, ink, ink, ink).


What I like:
It's an attractive pen/stylus combo.
Feeds the proper tip most of the time.(about 85% for me)
Affordable

What I don't like:
Slight metallic jangle from inserts hitting each other.
Very lightweight(this could be a plus if you like lightweight pens)
