Xencelabs V2 pens notes

Summary

`These are good performing pens with a good pressure range.

Models

• 3 Button Pen + Eraser v2 (XMCPH35)

• Thin Pen + Eraser v2 (XMCPH36)

Compatibility

• These V2 pens do not work with the earlier Xencelabs pen tablet model (BPH1212W-A) that came with the V1 pens

Appearance

• These V2 pens are sightly different than the previous V1 pens. The thing that visually distinguishes them the most is a small yellow Xencelabs logo near the eraser. This is a nice branding touch, I wish other tablet manufacturers followed this pattern.
