Summary
The Newron Tactile Pen departs from familiar round or angular barrels and embraces an organic form. Its grip is adorned with thoughtfully placed protrusions and flowing shapes, all designed to enliven the fingers. The intention is to gently stimulate the nerves in the fingertips, activating brain pathways in ways that a conventional pen cannot. Composed of three interchangeable segments, the pen lets users mix and match parts to achieve the right balance of comfort and stimulation.
