PenTips 2 is now available in Hard and Soft. This means that you can get the perfect firmness and durability for your writing or drawing style. PenTips 2 Hard gives a better feel for creating digital text as it feels more like writing with pen and paper. PenTips 2 Soft are made of a soft silicone rubber which is perfect for digital illustrators.

When we first introduced PenTips 2, there was only one version. This version is now known as the Soft version. We noticed that 3% of the digital notetakers went through the original tip quicker than expected. Together with these customers, we came to the conclusion that the Soft version is not suitable for digital notetakers or digital illustrators that draw with a lot of force or pressure. For this group, we created PenTips 2 Hard. 

Either way, you’ll enjoy the same great features of the PenTips 2. So, which version is right for you? Read on to find out more about the hard and soft versions of the PenTips 2.

While the Soft variant is ideal for drawing and sketching, the Hard version offers a more natural writing experience and can withstand users that create with a lot of force of pressure. We generally advice PenTips 2 Hard for digital notetakers.
