REST IN PEACE, TABLET PEN NIB #1
YOU SERVED ME WELL
In just over a week, I had to replace my tablet pen nib. It had gotten to a point where it was kind of sharp, short enough so that the pen itself starts touching the tablet surface, and kind of tricky to take out of the pen.
I got it out and replaced it with a brand new one, but this concerns me. I read about graphic artists nibs lasting them two years, and mine lasts a week.
Obviously when playing, i have the pen on the surface. Before someone comes in and complains how you can play without putting the pen on the surface, you need to understand i require tactile feedback whenever i do pretty much anything with my computer. I have a highly clicky keyboard and i kind of need to have the pen on the surface as a reference point for me to be comfortable. I'm sure many people think the same way as myself.
Back to what i was saying before, i'm somewhat concerned my first nib dies so quickly. So do you guys have any ideas about this? Is it regular that they are lasting this long? Are there any adjustments to my playstyle that i can make WITHOUT HAVING TO HOVER? Are there other types of nibs i can buy that will hold on longer than my current ones(Saw white ones that where made to last longer)? I'm using a bamboo splash pen or whatever with 3 of the ones that come with the tablet. Thanks.
