I heard about the Raphael 520 (R520) from TabletPro who highly recommend the pen, but they also sell it at their store. I don't have any financial interest in the pen and I can verify their review is 100% correct.
-
R520 is the best MPP pen.
-
The slow diagonal line wobble is almost imperceptible and as good as Wacom AES wobble.
-
The cursor accuracy is very high.
-
Rechargeable, no fussing with batteries. Charge lasts days on a few minutes of charging.
-
I tested the pen on a slow (60Hz) MPP digitizer, so it didn't handle fast short strokes well like Wacom AES or EMR (100Hz) or Apple Pencil (120Hz-240Hz) and missed dotting "i"s when writing very fast and so on. I haven't tested the pen with the fast MPP digitizers.
-
The side buttons are excellent, they're flush with the pen so no accidental clicks and pressing them is very comfortable.
-
The nib is probably the best I've ever used, very nice friction on glass displays that makes writing a lot more comfortable than Wacom's or Microsoft's standard hard or soft nibs. It comes with two extra nibs.
This is now my go-to MPP pen for purchase recommendations.
