Yes it is.

A user here (electronbee) posted this picture a while back to show the difference of the pens. the top one is the Axiotron Studio pen I recommended; the next one is basically what the Axiotron "standard" pen you were looking at. and the last one is the standard Tablet PC pen (that one specifically is from the HP Tm2)


The one you shared a link to will not fit in any Tablet PC pen silo (unless you get the modbook, or a Tablet PC with the exact same size silo, which is unlikely) the one you brought up has all the attributes of a standard Tablet PC pen (there is no advantage over the pen that comes with your Tablet PC)

On the other hand the Axiotron Studio Pen is a much more ergonomic pen; with a much better pressure sensitivity curve, a very nice dual switch on the side, and a very nice eraser.

the only option for a good Tablet PC pen is the Axiotron Studio pen (you will probably have to buy it on e-bay because they seem to be the only ones who ever have it in stock; and it is far cheaper)

I've found the Studio and the standard pen to have the same exact nib reaction. They are in all likelihood using the same tip assembly.

The only real difference is the grip vs none grip ergonomics. I personally prefer the non rubber surface on my pens. Even for my Cintiq I had to order the "Classic" pen because I can't stand that soft rubber grip, lol.

Yes it is.

Thanks Shogmaster.
Another question, is Axiotron Digitizer Pen different? Can I used it for tc4400? It's cheaper.

I use that pen personally. That pen and the Studio pen works exactly the same. They just have different casing.

I'm very happy with using the Axiotron Studio Pen. It's far more comfortable than the standard pen that came with my fujitsu t730. Although the sensitivity specs of the pen are the same the larger grip of the Axiotron Studio Pen gives much more control, confort, and fluidity to my lines. I was worrried about getting one because it was so cheap in comparison to a comparitive Wacom brand pen, but I'm very happy with my purchase.

Aside from the Axiotron ones, what other 2 button or '2 click' tablet PC pens are available?

Fujitsu pens are also 2 button pens. Like the ones for the t5010, t900, t901, or t902, t730, etc.

do you guys know where can i find the Axiotron Studio Pen?

<<...where can i find the Axiotron Studio Pen?..>>

newton: As you have probably already discovered, Studio pens have become very hard to find. (In fact, except for an occasional sighting, mostly on foreign sites, I'm not aware of anyone having offered the Studio pen for sale in months...)

My best advice is to establish a regular search routine, doing Google searches and checking sites like eBay on a regular basis and/or posting want ads at sites like ours. It might also be possible to contact the folks that make Axiotron products for a direct purchase, but I haven't seen any evidence of anyone having done that.

This questions shows up with some regularity, so if any other member has any good suggestions, please chime in...

In the meantime, good luck.
