Say hello to TOTAL control over your machine with an extended battery life (over the standard ACUS M2) - the ACUS M2xtd is engineered for artists who demand both reliability and complete flexibility. This lightweight pen delivers stable power, extra long-lasting battery life, and a perfectly balanced feel for effortless handling during long sessions.
