The looks is superb--sophisticated, daring, modern, retro, whatever adjectives you wish to use to describe your style, they mostly fit here. I'm impressed by the quality
As for paper like feel, I was a bit surprised since I thought the surface would be rougher, not smoother, so it may initially feel like "just a tablet," but the ceramic stylus tip goes a long way. Midway through a sketch, I simply forgot I wasn't using paper. So, the feel is smooth, but the traction, the resistance, of paper IS there when you... let your mind go.
The setup tutorial on first power-on is great, the UI is great--as expected the red dot award (to which I say, German quality, baby)
I previously purchased the A6 several years ago and loved it. The A6 X2 is an improvement on an already existing excellent product. The recent software update even allows it to work as a standalone external drawing pad. That coupled with the note taking, drawing software, and ebook capabilities make it an astounding choice for anyone deciding on an e-ink tablet. (The original A6 is still going strong, it’s now my wife’s primary reading device. The longevity of the super notes are great!)
This is the right size for me, I journal and i can have this with me every where because of its size. I love it. And still learning great things about it all the time.
The A5X2 is great as a notebook, a journal, scratch paper, and whatever other writing purpose. It’s also good for annotating and reading pdfs and epubs. Product delivers on all its promises.

I am very pleased with the Supernote Nomad that I purchased a few weeks ago. It has preformed flawlessly and to expectations. I was also surprised at how quickly it arrived even though mine came from China. Excellent customer service and a great product. I have also bought the new Supernote Manta 5X2 based on the great experience with the Nomad!
My device's power button was out of order and I had to send it off under warranty. Communication was great, even during national holiday season someone responded to me, always with respect and patience. Many thanks, my device is working well now too.
AS a Supernote Manta owner for a couple months, I now find humor in the phrase “Don’t panic” that adorns the setup and instruction manual. Setup went smoothly and over the course of two weeks, with assistance from the manual and online support page, I was comfortable using the device. The interface is intuitive. While built-in templates are adequate, creating custom templates is a breeze. I’m using the Manta for CME notes, letter writing, journaling, and “to-do” lists. The ceramic tipped writing instrument is comfortable to hold and the Manta screen responsive. My queries to customer support via email are answered quickly. The Manta meets and exceeds expectations.
The one slipped out of the pen holder. It’s now gone. Had to buy a new one.
I have almost stopped carry a regular pen. And I haven’t even begun to utilize all the features. I love it. I highly recommend my co-workers have begin to look in this and other similar products.
Looks super sharp and is very sturdy. Unlike past versions, this pen does not seem subject to easy cracking of the nib.
I love the supernote. I like the push up pen more than I thought. The only feature I wish for is to be able to sync with OneNote.
Look, feel and functionality of the supernote is on target. No regrets and really rely on it for my daily productivity!
I bought this for my son. He was thrilled and loves the way it works.
I’ve been using the Supernote refill in the Kaweco Al Sport rollerball (with the grip/tip from the Kaweco Classic Rollerball…because it’s plastic) and also the Faber Castell Hexo rollerball for a few months and absolutely love both of them. I have the best of these premium pens with the feel and longevity of the Supernote never replace ceramic nib. In my opinion, these are the perfect combo for the perfect EMR pens. Especially the Kaweco Al Sport because it’s the perfect weight and length.
Other reviews had said that the Kaweco classic rollerball and the Kaweco Al Sport couldn’t be combined because the threads are different, which is true, but the classic is plastic and therefore malleable. I added 2 wraps of plumbers tape (for pipes) to the classic’s threads and it fits perfectly. You have to go slowly (tighten and loosen several times before it goes all the way in) and it will feel like you’re forcing it, but it works. Then you add 2 wraps of the plumbers pipe tape after for security and it fits well and isn’t wobbly in the least. I’ve made 6 of them this way and they are all secure and a tight fit. They look like they were made that way. The Supernote refill is also the perfect length for the Kaweco Al Sport and Kaweco Classic combo. No modifications of the SN refill are necessary. You just pop it in and it’s ready to use.
Absolutely amazing company. Very happy with my A5x and the pushup pen. Keep all my notes in one place without the distraction and led lights of a tablet. Plus, their customer service has been impeccable, quickly addressing and remedying the one minor problem I had. Ratta has been top notch for me. Highly recommend.
I ordered the Push-Up pen to try something new. I have to say that I was very surprised by the writing experience with the Push-Up pen. I have two HOM pens, but I have to say that I prefer the Push-Up pen. In fact, I ordered this pen for my Nomad, but after using it, I ordered another Push-Up pen to use with my Manta. The Push-Up pen is a very comfortable writing instrument for me.
