I received the 2e today. So far, I have generally positive impressions but one major “eh” that many of us have already mentioned.

The good:
- It’s noticeably snappier in everything. It’s like the kind of upgrade that you would feel from a Libra H2O to a Libra 2. It’s there, it feels nicer to use overall in all functions.
- Backlight with ComfortLight Pro is solid, even, and really nice when you’re used to only the basic light in the Elipsa 1.
- I like how I can magnetically place the pen on the top or bottom of the device. For the Elipsa 1, there was a small magnetic spot on the longer bezel side that I would plunk my pen but it never was very stable.
- Thank goodness some wavy/grippy bits are on the sleep button! The almost slightly recessed sleep button on the Elipsa 1 made it so I’d always have to search to hit it. Super easy to feel and hit on this device.

The eh:
- Definitely a different pen writing feel. I’m still futzing with whether it’s the pen or whether it’s the matte feel of the screen (or a combo of both).
- It’s a tough upgrade ask for current Elipsa 1 owners, as many have mentioned. I’m still evaluating whether to keep and sell my Elipsa 1 (leaning towards that) vs returning.
