{"product_id":"the-steady-line-8192-level-passive-stylus","title":"The Steady Line | 8192-Level Passive Stylus for ArtPaint Tablets","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stylus is a measuring instrument disguised as a pen. The number that matters is not the shape of the grip or the colour of the barrel, it is how many pressure steps the tablet can read between a feather touch and a full press. The Steady Line reads 8192 of them, across a passive, battery-free body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattery-free is the detail that changes how the pen lives in your hand. There is no cell to charge, no charge level to check before a deadline, no weight at the back end pulling the balance off. The pen is lighter than an active stylus and needs less grip force to register a line, which matters over a four-hour session. Ergonomic claims are usually marketing, but removing a battery is a mechanical fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo programmable express keys sit where your thumb rests. They can be mapped to the shortcuts you actually use, and they work together with the nib to trigger combined functions. Eight replacement nibs come in the package, which is the part most listings leave out and the part that decides whether a pen survives a year of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility is narrow and stated plainly, because this is not a universal pen. It pairs with the GAOMON ArtPaint tablet models S620, S630, S830, M106KPRO, M10KPRO, M1220, 1230 and PD2200. It does not work with a phone, a PC screen, an iPad, or another brand's tablet. Check the model number on the back of your tablet before ordering, not the brand name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePressure sensitivity is invisible until the moment your line refuses to taper.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin:28px 0;border:0;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 8192 levels matter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003e8192 levels of pressure sensitivity for tapering and line weight control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003ePassive, battery-free design with no charging and no cell to replace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003eTwo programmable express keys for the shortcuts you use most\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003eEight replacement nibs included in the package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003eLightweight plastic barrel that reduces grip force over long sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003ePen clip for attaching to a tablet sleeve or case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003eStated compatibility with eight GAOMON ArtPaint tablet models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility and specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e GAOMON ArtPaint AP32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure levels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8192\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Passive, battery-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpress keys:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2, programmable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNibs included:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 replacement nibs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterface:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB tablet connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible tablets:\u003c\/strong\u003e S620, S630, S830, M106KPRO, M10KPRO, M1220, 1230, PD2200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot compatible with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phones, PC screens, iPad, other brands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from:\u003c\/strong\u003e China mainland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStudio work, not phone doodles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a working pen, not a novelty.
