I received this item as a Christmas gift. It broke just 3 weeks ago and I have been unable to repair it. A co-worker of mine, had the exact same problem with this item. Given the expense, I would not recommend this item to anyone. There are far more reliable products on the market for either the same or lower cost.

If anyone needs instructions for this pen or cannot figure out how to use it in 5 minutes, this person should not be allowed around a couputer, ID TEN T errors... This pen is not only multyfunctional it is just cool. You have a black pen, a pencil, PDA stylus and Red-Fluorecent pen. It is not heavy for all the stuff inside of it, or too bulky. The Matrix Grip does its job wonderfully. This is a pen to have in your desk and use for all your needs without having to get your stylus out of the PDA, plus it works a lot better than the PDS's in my oppinion. A great buy. If you still have not figure out how to work it, there are little pictures of what you want to use in the top side of the pen by the clicker, whatever picture is facing up, that is what you will get. It is very simple to use.

No directions at all? Pppppbbbbbt.

Comes in a simple blister pack like any supermarket papermate, so the only instructions available would have to be on the back. Yet all that's there is some (...) message on cleaning a PDA. As if the PDA manufacturer's instructions wouldn't cover this...

So far, I've had no luck on figuring this pen out. It works pretty much like a bic, but instead on getting a ballpoint pen, you get one of four tips - a red pen, a black pen, a stylus, or a pencil. So far, it seems pretty random. I've tried twisting the cap, pressing at angles, twisting the base. No luck at all. There are little icons just below the cap every quarter turn that seem to suggest the cap needs to be turned, yet that doesn't work.

So off I went to (...). Sure enough, they continue their boneheaded lecture online with directions not to scratch your PDA, how to clean your PDA properly, and even their opinion on applying RainX to your PDA (GEEZ) but unfortunately they omit anything related to instructions on their /own/ products.

Bleh. Other negatives --- cheap tin feel, red pen has funky flourescent tint and requires a very heavy hand - far too heavy for me to bother using, pencil lead advance binds mechanically.

Four functions, does none of them very well with the possible exception of the black ink pen. Pass.

Where'd these other two glowing reviews come from? I don't work for this PDA Panache company if you couldn't tell...

This unit is a fine writing instrument and very classy as well. I'm in high-level senior meetings on a regular basis and am proud to pull the Panache out of my pocket to switch between paper and iPAQ. Needless to say, everyone is impressed!

A couple of points worth noting: The ink pen is a VERY fine point so for those that like a medium, this pen isn't for you. It's a vivid black and writes well, it's just fine. I particularly like the red pen, it's more like a neon red so really stands out when I "bleed" all over coworkers drafts. The stylus is orange so it's easy to spot check to be sure you don't accidentally write with ink/pencil on your PDA. Also, the mechanism to deploy the different tips is something I've never come across before - you simply hold the pen horizontally with the icon picture of the tip you want and press the end, there it is! Press the button and the tips retracts. Turn the pen with the next icon facing up and there IT is. It took me a bit to get used to but now I love it.

Lastly, the finish is excellent and the rubber nubs give just the right amount of grip. The wife tried the pen and now I have to get another one!!! She actually took it and tells me how much SHE loves it.

If you get it, I think you'll like it.

I have the Panache custom visor stylus in my visor, but I'm always searching for a pen. I decided that I would try a multi-function pen. This is one of the best pens that I have owned, much less the best stylus. I would highly recomend this pen. The highlighter is pretty neat, it is just the width of a normal ball point pen, so you just make a swipe through the middle of the word and it is highlighted. Like I said, one great pen.
