    I lied. It looks like the same pen, but it isn't. Gotta get the eraser pen.

    So they ship the new tablets without an eraser pen now?? What an insult as my previous model came with it and it was pretty cheap.

    The pens don't have the eraser on the top like the old tablets. The old tablets were cheaper to make also.

    Edit:

    My memory is failing me. I could of sworn there was an eraser on the top of the tx2 pens....

    few people mentioned that pen only works with the Pavilion tx2000 not with the touchsmart tx2
    even in the reviews off that pen someone mentioned:

    The HP tx2000z and tx2z are very different computers. This pen, for the tx2000z, is incompatible with the tx2z. Make sure you don't get the wrong pen!

    I've heard otherwise, but <s>it could be true</s> I think you are right. The Tx2 uses an NTrig, while the tx2000s use a Wacom.

    Not on the top of the pen. You can use the scratch out gesture.

    Or another Ntrig stylus, like the Dell XT.

    Sure does.

    At least using the default settings, you can scratch out inkings. I haven't tried scratching out type.

    Use the ink tool.

    And then make the gesture like so. But make a few scratches than I did. Obviously, if I made more scratches in my screen, there would be nothing to capture.

    Oh.

    OneNote only supports the Z scratch out gesture. Make one big Z over the test.

    No idea on your laptop. The HP and Lenovo both have the button and are configurable through the drivers.

    The XT2 has two buttons. One can erase, the other is configurable.

    I have all of them to middle click.
