I have a Fisher Space Pen in my bag for when I really need to write something on the go. It's just that I wouldn't want to write a whole novel with it. By analogy, I think the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio is an excellent portable keyboard. When I'm out and about, it does the job. But when I sit down at my desk, I much prefer my full-size mechanical keyboard.
As some others in this page, I loathe the act of writing, but it's also a negative feedback loop where I use disposable ballpoint pen. I remember I used to prefer foutain pen in high school.
Still, for my case I see two potential downsides with foutain pen:
- mobility (train trips and bike commuting). I remember instances of leaks.
- Infrequent use. I'll keep being a keyboard-first note-taker. :)
I guess I need to shop for shake-proof, non-drying pen and cartridges.
