Kudos to MassDrop for offering this item. I own one already and thought it might be helpful to chime in and share my experience with it:
1. This is a pretty cool writing instrument, and between the stand/case and pen it gets a lot of attention.
2. As stylish as it is, it is no fun to actually write with. It's fine for the occasional note, but not for much more.
3. The writing is very light and can be difficult to read on pages that aren't bright white.
4. The tip of the pen is too wide for my preference. I find I have to write letters much larger than I would with other pens/pencils in order to have them be well-formed. It's closer to writing with the sharpie than it is to a mechanical pencil with ~HB. If the tip was more fine, it would use this all the time. But it's not, so I don't.
Summary:
If you're buying this to look cool on your desk: mission accomplished, if you're buying this to do a lot of writing with: not a great plan.
