    Are you a Wacom tablet user? Do you like pens? Are you a Wacom tablet user who likes pens? This guy has a product for you. Called the PenMoto, it’s basically a ring studded with magnets and a separate pen sleeve. Your pen is held into place by the magnets and you can spin it around like a Jesse James in the Rootin’ Tootin’ Wild West Show. It allows you to move the pen out of the way, for example, when you want to tap on your tablet screen. This has never been a problem I’ve dealt with but I suspect this is better for designers and CAD/CAM operators.

    $10 gets you a pre-order for a standard ink pen holder and $25 gets you the choice of holder for multiple types of pen and styli. They need $40,000 to get this thing off the ground, so get pledging. Otherwise, just use a rubber band.
