I am pleased to announce that I have started production of a nib switch pen powered by an AAA battery.

The newest pen now keeps the LED assembly in the pen when you change the battery. A nib switch is essential for adopting a natural writing style, when you put the pen on the board the LED comes on when you lift it off the LED turns off. We also sell manual switch pens but younger children find the extra requirement to hold the button down while they write and then remembering to lift off the button when they finish a little more difficult than with the nib switch version.

Or for the flash version: http://www.irpens.co.uk/video/nib.swf

Good idea, I'll get started on one this week!

Thanks for the interest, yes they are available and current prices can be found at www.irpens.co.uk/store.htm
