@@AndrewMelder The feel is definitely different from the ceramic (aside from the modded pen above, I have the standard pen). It digs in a bit less and it's not quite as fine. But I find myself reaching for it daily now despite that because the button is really convenient, and I find the shape and weight of the pen body more comfortable for writing over long periods of time. If you opt to buy a LAMY pen not from the Supernote website, just make sure you get the POM nib version since they're harder. It's really down to personal preference, but you could always try out the rollerball regular pen version first to see if you like the shape of it! (If you don't, at least you've got a solid pen for regular paper)
Your videos are great! And thank you for showing the usefulness of the 6x. Most want to show the 5x, and I personally like smaller notebooks so the 6x is what I would want. Love seeing some good tutorials with the 6x!!
Your videos on the Supernote are so helpful and I am strongly considering getting one now. Your 'tip for proofreaders' is something I haven't seen discussed elsewhere and makes a massive difference for the type of work I do. What I wasn't clear on is if I can handwrite comments on a word doc in the Supernote and then have them show up as text in a comment bubble on the word doc when I open it back up on my PC? The reason I ask is that I am an academmic and a key part of my job is reading and commenting on draft chapters from my PhD students. I prefer to do this on paper and handwrite proofreading marks and comments, rather than having to stare at a computer screen for long periods. But it's a pain for me printing all that paper (chapters are usually 30-40 A4 pages) and it's clunkier for my students who then have to transfer the handwritten notes back to their word doc, and for one of my students who is blind I have to make my comments digitally as handwritten notes are not accessible. If the Supernote can combine the feel of reading and writing on paper at my end, with the useability of digital track changes and comments for my students, that sounds ideal. Thanks for any thoughts you have on this!
Short answer to your question is no, but you can check out the most recent manual for details support.supernote.com/article/9/user-manual-for-supernote-a5-x-and-a6-x
I just received my supernot A5X, works great but some tools are missing from toolbar e.g. the "layer" tool and the one of the "eraser" tools. Is the toolbar customizable ?
Thank you for all the many tips. Question - the uni style gel pen, does the 0.28 mm fit the Supernote diy since I see in the video you used the 0.38 mm. I'm assuming that the body of the 0.28 and the 0.38 are the same. I ask because Amazon is out of stock of the 0.38 and I really like the diy pen you have.
I stole it from a Pilot mechanical pencil I had around and stuck it with some gecko tape! Not quite sure about the model but there are a lot of mechanical pencils with metal clips which come off I think :)
I just got the supernote yesterday and I am extremely disappointed with the writing experience. It seems like to get a consistency you have to use more pressure then I would like to for long sessions. Second the 'screen' is inconsistent in terms of feel, so you will find the friction is slightly different in different areas and the hardness/softness when you push in is different towards the edges vs the center. I got the HOM 2 pen and it also doesn't feel great in the hand, the input lag even with the update is definitely not perfect for me, I do notice it. I was hoping to be able to write extremely fast with light strokes and get a consistent feel and output throughout the screen but unfortunately this is not the case for me. They say it's a matter of taste, I didn't particularly want tonnes of scratchiness slowing me down, I didn't mind it being somewhat 'slider' feel but it's not just that it's slide, the killer is that is not consistently or slide so it feels like you haven't got optimal control. I may give it a day or two more but I will probably be sending it back. Curious if anyone else was disappointed on first trying it.
Great video - very helpful! I was looking at the Supernote and struggling with which pen to get, are there other third party pen bodies that you know would fit the Supernote refill? Thank you!
With the same lack of modification needed, nothing comes to mind… If you don’t mind a little more DIY/potential risk, any pen body as long as you don’t get metal near the coil should work. :) For instance someone on the subreddit recently modded a Safari, and just had to get something to add length to the end: www.reddit.com/r/Supernote/comments/s12ah0/lamy_safari_rollerball_pen_diy/
I just stole it off a mechanical pencil I had, and used a little gecko tape to really stick it on. I think this was the model of pencil but a lot of different ones come with this style of clip! penstore.com/en/pilot/h-325-mechanical-pencil-05
@@pixelleaves I will keep my eyes peeled-thanks! And commendations on your videos. They are very well made and very informative. : ) You should put up a tip jar.
I just stole it off a mechanical pencil I had! I am pretty sure it was this one, but that style of clip is pretty common so I'm sure there are many others which would work: penstore.com/en/pilot/h-325-mechanical-pencil-05
Hi! First of all, I appreciate your wonderful videos a lot, thanks. I actually made the same pen with the cartridge thanks to you and I was wondering from which pen did you get the clip that you added to it.
It's a regular Lamy pen body, screwed into the EMR part of a Lamy EMR pen :) No other modifications needed! There's a link to listings of different color pens that will work (Al star rollerball) in the description box
It would be nice to have, but I prefer e-ink to regular screens for note taking since I find it less tiring so I don’t really miss it! I’ve looked into color e-ink as well, but the black and white reading experience still isn’t as good as b&w e-ink.
That study technique, the use of layers to reveal the answer, is an incredible idea. Clever girl (dinosaur emoji).
I came here from Supernote subreddit. Great tips and awesome video. I'm sure your channel will grow.
Thanks so much for the kind comment!
Likewise. Great work, thinking about a new pen since my standard pen has the phantom writing issue. How do you find the LAMY pen and nib?

@@pixelleaves Thanks. As much as I like the ceramic nib, an eraser button would be an awfully nice addition.
Thanks so much! I've been using my Supernote A5X for less than a month now and your videos have taught me so much! Really appreciate you!
Lovely short video. Look forward to more!
Your channel is fantastic! Love your voice.
Soooo helpful! Please make more of these ❤️

I agree, I think this size is pretty underappreciated online, it’s a really natural fit if you’re coming from similarly-sized notebooks (like I did)!
Nice tutorial! Good job! Supernote is a very flexible device, every user can set It on personal working experience
Thank you for reviewing this device ❤️🇳🇴
Loved the video.

Would you do a detailed video on the kindle reading feature? Would love to use this for my journaling and kindle reading
I likely won’t as it’s basically the Android Kindle experience :)

Hi, how to use USB flash drive to transfer files from or to Supernotes? Thank you very much. Victor
I’ll try the Uni Style fit single color pen! I was looking for a retractable option.
@pixel leaves, the uni style fit pen that you have has something to attach it to the Supernote Canvas. Where can we find it?
I stole it from a Pilot mechanical pencil I had around and stuck it with some gecko tape! Not quite sure about the model but there are a lot of mechanical pencils with metal clips which come off I think :)
What software do you use to sync with mabook?
Great video, i want more of this. Muchos más!!!
You should do one video with all your accessories and links.
I might have to buy more accessories first to make that worth a watch! 😁
You have the most beautiful hands on TH-cam.

I just got the regular (canvas, I think?) blue one :) it looks like blue denim irl

@@pixelleaves Thank you! I think I'll order a pen refill just in case to save on shipping and buy a Lamy as my pen of choice. Thanks again!
@@pixelleaves Probably a Lamy Joy would work too. It's the calligraphy pen and has a longer handle standard. Great video's BTW!
Quick question: did you add a clip to the Uni Style that you modified? If so, where do you find those? (sorry-two questions!)
I just stole it off a mechanical pencil I had, and used a little gecko tape to really stick it on. I think this was the model of pencil but a lot of different ones come with this style of clip! penstore.com/en/pilot/h-325-mechanical-pencil-05

Where did the metal clip come from for your Uni Style Fit? Seems like they don't have one by default.

How do you like the Grado SR80? :)
Honestly, sound signature kind of harsh for me 😅 Borrowed them from my husband to try out and gave them back soon after. He loves them though!
Can you do split-screen note-taking? If so, horizontal or vertical split? Thanks for the video.
Not currently (it’s in development)!
Hi! First of all, I appreciate your wonderful videos a lot, thanks. I actually made the same pen with the cartridge thanks to you and I was wondering from which pen did you get the clip that you added to it.
From a Pilot mechanical pencil I had lying around the house, but I don't remember which model, sorry!

This pen is the EMR pen top half in a regular Lamy pen body! :) Demo of me switching here at the end: th-cam.com/video/ykVuk2qPz54/w-d-xo.html

Do you miss color on supernote?
