Musemee Notier Prime (Black Rubber Grip) - The Precision Disc Stylus

Before buying this stylus, I tried using the Wacom Bamboo stylus (which was too imprecise to allow real note taking.) This stylus allowed me to take notes quickly and easily. Obviously, writing on a screen is not as accurate as writing with pen and paper, as such your handwriting does take a beating. Still, writing with this stylus feels natural and the lines are accurate enough that I was happy with the notes. Plus, the tip allows a fine enough line that you are actually taking notes as opposed to writing with a marker (which is what the Bamboo felt like). Also, The body screws apart and then screws back together, so when you are taking notes the plastic disk is exposed, but when you are not using it, the plastic desk is screwed into the handle (hidden and protecting). The pen is light, but the rubber grip feels good. In short, if you plan on taking notes, this is the stylus for you. It is accurate, comes with two extra tips, and is cheaper than the Jot Pro. It does everything I want and does it at a reasonable price.With all that said, I gave it four stars for two reasons. The first is that it will scratch your screen, which means you need to use it with a screen protector. The scratches are small almost micro-scratches, and they don't appear every time you write with it, but eventually they start to appear. I don't know if dust gets caught under the clear disk, or what. All I know is that I was so grateful I had a screen protector on, because I would have been really angry if my actual iPad screen had gotten scratched. This same complaint is echoed when you look at reviews for the Jot Pro. It seems that these small scratches are a part of this type of stylus. So, use a screen protector and you don't have to worry about it. You can only see the scratches if you look at the screen from an angle, so you won't be forced to constantly change the protector. But, if you do ever want to sell the iPad, you peel the screen protector off, and you're left with a brand new screen free of scratches.The other reason I am taking a star off is because of the palm problem. It is not really the fault of the pen itself, but I think they should explain that if you lay your palm on the screen when you write, apps recognize this contact as "writing" and create dots or lines on the notebook page you working on. Some apps cut down on this problem, but even in the best apps, I ended up with a bunch of dots on the area of the "page" that I was in contact with. There are two ways of handling this. The first is to write with care, and hold the stylus so that the bottom of your hand doesn't touch the screen. This feels unnatural to me, and breaks up my writing flow. So, I just deal with the stupid dots. They are just dots (or sometimes small lines) and I can still read what I wrote. Its just notes, so I just try to ignore them and if they get really bad I use an eraser to erase them. Yes, it is a pain, but I am willing to put up with these two problems in order to take notes on my iPad and then pin them to services like Evernote.In total, I am very happy with this stylus. Yes, there are a few things that could be made better, but it does its job, and as long you know what you are getting into (and take the proper precautions) you will be very pleased to!

Where this product shines is for doing artwork on a typical tablet that does not have pressure sensitivity. Naturally, you will not get the level of control, etc. as with pressure sensitive devices (for which you should buy a pressure sensitive stylus), but this stylus is the closest I have seen yet. Plastic tip is soft and I've had no issues with scratching (although I am using a screen protector) and it works well with Autodesk Sketchbook. I am finally able to get a fine enough line to get a decent level of detail in sketches - and this is on a Nook HD+, which is known for not having the best accuracy when used with a stylus, which makes the Musemee Notier Prime very impressive indeed. The other key plus is that the replacement tips for this device are actually reasonably priced AND three tips are included with this purchase (something no other styli of this high quality can boast) and the tips seem to be designed fairly well - I have had zero issues and am still on my first one, although I have been careful not to drop this - wish the pen barrel had a hole at the end to attach to a cord, but that's my only gripe. The pen is comfortable to hold thanks to the rubber grip - there is a protective cap over the tip which screws off and is screwed on the other end when the stylus is in use to become part of the handle. When assembled for use this stylus is precisely 6" long (including the tip) - this is shorter than my Nook Versa stylus but longer than most styli and I find it very comfortable for drawing.If you just want a stylus for writing, I am not sure that you need to buy this product or any of the other expensive, fancier styli on the market unless you have a high-end tablet, as in my experience they do not write any better or clearer on typical tablets than the considerably less expensive ball end styli - for example, this Musemee Notier Prime is no better for writing on my Nook HD+ (or my friend's Galaxy Tab) than my Nook Versa stylus - although my Nook Versa stylus is pretty good which means the Musemee is also pretty good - but I only paid around $8 (on sale) for the Nook Versa. So my suggestion for writing is to get a styli that is compatible with your tablet and long enough to be comfortable, does not have a metal collar or similar on the ball end (which can scratch your screen when the ball squashes when you write) and has good reviews. Then try the various handwriting apps on the market until you find one that suits. I am using Stylus Beta on a Nook HD+ with the Nook Vera stylus and it works very well (mostly because Stylus Beta can be selected as an alternate to the keyboard in any app and appears as a line for input at the bottom of the screen, so you don't have to worry about palm checking - I do have to write large, but I find that is the case with every stylus and app I've tried on my Nook HD+, including this Musemee Notier Prime.)

I love the stylist because it’s correctly weighted for use as a pen or pencil. I use it in my drawing programs. It’s very accurate and the pinpoint against the clear disc helps accuracy so you can see exactly where you are drawing or writing.

某社のディスクスタイラスペンが高い割に、滑りの悪い替えペン先があったり、耐久性が良くない等、散々な目にあったので買い替えました。先端に滑り止めのゴムが付いてるので持ちやすいです。到着してから気付いたのですがこれもペン先がゴムでした。購入後2ヶ月でペン先のゴム部分がちぎれてしまいました。ちなみに完全に自宅だけでの使用です。ディスク自体は全く問題がないのに繋いでるゴムがちぎれると使えなくなるのが残念ですね。交換用ペン先も後日購入しましたが、この頻度でペン先を交換してたら勿体無いので次は無いかな。

タブレットで絵を描いてみたくて購入しました保護シート付きのNexus7にアプリはSketchBookXで使用中です。スタイラスペンは初めて使うので比較はできませんがとりあえず描けてはいるので特に不満はないですペンは立て気味に描くのがコツですね、寝かせると反応が鈍くなります。ペン先は弱々しく耐久性はあまりない感じです細い線が引けるというのが売りみたいなのであまりそこはツッこまず力を入れずに描くことでしょうか予備のペン先も２ヶついていますし。他のアプリでも試していこうと思っています。

画面保護シートを貼っていると，BAMBOO solo, Jot Pro ともにいまいちであったので，こちらを使用してみました．いまのところ，このペンが一番ストレスが無い使用感です．ディスクと細いゴムで接続されているところの耐久性がちょっと心配．先端がディスクで画面に触れる部分が固いせいか，普通のシートでは傷が付きます．硬度の固さをうたっているシートで試してみるつもり．

パッケージに Musemee Notier V2　と印刷されてました。その下に Prime（Black)と印字されたシールが。　本体はNotier V2なのでしょう、”Prime”というのは交換用ペン先セット(２個入り)が付いてるからなのかも？以下、タブレット『Nexus7(2012)』 とアプリ『LINE Brush』での使用感想です。細い線がいい感じに引けます。サッと思い切りのいい線で描くなら良さげです。ただ、じっくりゆっくり描こうとすると線がフラフラするので慣れが必要かも。（手首近くを支える台を使うとのか工夫も必要か？）垂直に線を引くのはいいのですが、傾きがつくと若干反応が途切れるようです。他にも時々描画出来なくなるのは…タッチパネルやペン先に汚れが付き静電気が伝わり難くなるからでしょうか？ウエットテッュで汚れを拭き取りつつ使ってみてますが、これストレスです。あとタブレットの処理能力のせいか描き込み時と描画表示されるのに若干時差があるのでこれもストレスに感じます。ペン自体は重さも適度で、手の大きい自分には握り易い太さでした。キャップ　兼　ペン軸後ろ半分　ってのは、取り付け取り外しが面倒に感じます。はっきりいって当製品の【交換用ペン先セット】を買って自作したほうが安上がりでいいかもです。自作品と本製品の描き心地を比較してみましたがペン軸の握り具合以外、描画具合は特に変わりなかったです…。

以前この製品を使っていましたが、替芯が高くなってしまったので、別のスタイラスペンを使っていました。しかし反応が悪い時がありやはりこれがいいなぁと思っていたところに本体が安くなっていたので買いました。替芯が以前の値段で買えたらと思います。
