Is the writing feel due hardware or software?

I remember reading that remarkable spent quite a bit of work on getting the latency of the pen input very low (which I guess is important for the feel).

However, for the tactile feel I would guess that the screen coating and the pen nib material are even more important (e.g. felt nibs or matte screen protectors)?

Hardware primarily. They've done a great job with the latency as well, but if you close your eyes and write on the RM, it's almost like writing in a paper notebook. It's the combination of the screen and the marker tips. As the marker tip gets worn out, the paper feeling gradually gets worse.
