are trying out a new pen called Curva Pen. It boasts that no matter your grip wrist position you can use this pen. The nib has a hook to it. Literally a hook. The pen can be used by left or right handers and is ergonomically designed especially for those with hand-related conditions.
The pen comes in a set of two. The thickness of the line at .07 mm. I found the pen to be nice and slim and easy to hold. No matter how I held the pen, I was able to get a smooth line. The pen also came with a white foam cushion which is supposed to ease pressure on your hand especially if you are elderly. I tried the cushion, but found it difficult to get on and off the pen. Not very helpful if you already have hand-related conditions.
Ordering was easy off the website and the pen was delivered quickly. Free shipping was also a nice benefit.
I was disappointed that the ink was not waterproof. I had hoped to be able to use this pen in the doodle class I take where I like to add color with watercolors. My bad that I didn't pay attention when I was ordering and received pens with blue ink instead of black ink which I prefer to use.
That's an interesting innovation. I wonder if it will evolve.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be a small, niche market for people with hand and wrist issues
DeleteAfter reading half of this, my question was, is the ink waterproof. Too bad it's not. Otherwise it sounds like a fantastic pen. Great skies here. Not making me want to work outside. How about at your house?
ReplyDeleteCold and grey here. Not making me want to work inside, either
DeleteI've seen these pens but it makes my brain go 'tilt'.....LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah, the pen is bizarre looking, but I suppose if you have an alternate grip like fist then this pen would make it easier to write with. or so they claim
DeleteI have my Mom´s Mont Blanc pen and I love it. Other I try to learn to write with my left hand. Huh, tricky. Maybe your pen came in handy?
ReplyDeleteNope, not a handy pen. Not much difference from a regular pen
DeleteSounds good, but waterproof is a must for me!
ReplyDeleteIndeed and black ink.
