Does anyone else think that the surface pro 3 pen could use a grip?


I designed this guy and I'm toying with the idea of starting a kickstarter for it, but I want to get some feedback from other SP3 users.

I find that the grip greatly improves the ergonomics of the pen as well as the utility of the two side buttons. Before I had to reposition the pen every time I wanted to use the side buttons, now my thumb is always in the right spot. Makes the writing experience that much smoother.

Let me know what you think.

I'd really like to try it out, but starting a Kickstarter campaign might be a bit overhaul, don't you think?
If you want to earn some money for that, you might use some 3D Printing pages.

Get a grip. :) I mean, from the drugstore. Like one of these, or peel one off of another spent pen. Use scissors to cut to size:

Thanks! With any luck (and perhaps some advertising) I'll be able to get these made in a rubber like material and get it to the people who want it.

The keyboard pen loop may be a problem with some grips, but you could always have a second pen handy that has grips installed.

Cut from a cheap mechanical pencil:

Nice, I completely see where you're going with this, but it doesn't address the core issue: that in my hand (and @Childs Play's as well I assume) the pen rolls and wiggles. It's hard to explain, but the flat triangle shape would let me keep a precise grip on the pen that didn't move.
