I have one. I hate it. Don't buy one....

Pros: There aren't any.
Cons: The pen is way too big. You have to use special paper. Oh never mind, I hate mind. I'm might have already thrown it out...want me to look for it?

just read fine print it requires special paper so that means they are asking you pay $200 for the pen plus the cost if special paper and refills

You don't have to buy any extra paper. They give you just enough special pads and post it notes to realize that the pens sucks and you quit using it halfway thru the included supply.
