Overpriced Gimmicky Pen in Cheap Bargain Bin Product Packaging
The media could not be loaded. The Elenzk magnetic floating ballpoint pen, is also described as a levitating pen – I would not consider this to be a levitating pen. You can get a high-quality levitating pen here on Amazon for half the price of this product. This Elenzk pen uses a strong magnetic base for the metal cap of the pen to be strongly attracted to – providing the illusion of a pen standing/floating perpendicular to the stand. The magnetic attraction is strong enough to allow the pen to float at an angle, which you can then bump to allow the pen to rotate on the base. It’s a cool gimmick that I played with a few times a day for about the first week that I had the pen on my work desk, but now it’s a just a neat pen holder, which I do rather enjoy having. The pen itself is all metal and has a nice weight to it. It’s shape and thickness find it comfortable to hold, and the fine ballpoint tip writes nice and smooth, delivering the ink on the page evenly. The other end of the pen features a touchscreen stylus. I do appreciate that this is the precision type of stylus, which is the only type that I prefer to use, if and/or when I rarely do find the need for one. The vibrant orange color certainly catches the eye but also doesn’t quite fit the “luxury” branding as this is marketed in my opinion. Speaking of the “luxury” branding, there is absolutely nothing at all luxurious about the packaging that this product arrived in – it would fit perfectly in the stalls at the flea market that you literally have to drag your kids away from to keep them from absolutely wasting their money. I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that I wouldn’t have spent $20 on this product had I found this product on a store shelf, due to the product packaging alone. The user manual, while thankfully legible, appears to have been printed from a standard personal printer too. This culminated in there being a lack of trust for me to risk a potential computer infection from me testing out the docking capabilities that this product offers. As a higher-than-average quality floating pen, this product has enough of a “cool” factor that it’s staying on my desk until it runs out of ink – it does not come with refills – I will almost certainly move on to one of the levitating pens I mentioned earlier in this review afterwards. The marketing for this product just feels all wrong to me personally, which is greatly emphasized by the numerous grammar errors on the packaging and product page. The current $149.99 asking price is significantly more than I would ever consider spending on this product after receiving it – that statement is true even if the untested docking capabilities work perfectly. While I do enjoy this on my desk, I simply cannot recommend this product to others when I wouldn’t pay half the current asking price for it. Read more
