Every once in a while you see a product that makes you scratch your head and say "how do they do that?"� The first thing you�ll do when you pick up the STYLUS+ 4-way Multi-purpose pen is take it apart so you can figure out how it magically decides which pen to use.
The STYLUS+ has four different types of writing instruments that are selected based on how the STYLUS+ is held.� The pen itself is mostly aluminum, with a black section that has ridges for an easier grip; there is also some gold trim.
The STYLUS+
website has all kinds of options for what goes into the pen.�
Pick and choose four writing instruments from the following:
�
Black ink | Pink highlighter |
Blue ink | Orange stylus tip |
Red ink | Grey stylus tip (extra) |
Orange highlighter | Yellow stylus tip (extra) |
You can also get replacement erasers
and even a replacement cap in case you lose it.� All of the bases
covered as far as options go.

Usability
The STYLUS+ is very easy to use.� The pen has four color-coded sides.� Hold the pen horizontally with the color you want facing up, then click the pen for the desired instrument to come out.� When you are done writing, press the black button on the pocket clip to retract the pen.� The ink flows very smoothly and does not smear.� The pencil is refilled like the Pilot Pentopia 2+1 but does not have any problems with replacing the lead or any of the ink refills.
The stylus comes in three colors
(orange/grey/yellow) and makes writing much easier on the Visor.�
The pen is weighted very nicely, and� I have found that handwriting
recognition increases because of the added weight and the better tip.�
I also like the fact that the STYLUS+ is as thick as normal pens.�
The highlighter is similar to a felt-tip pen, so it is better suited for
underlining.
