It’s possible you got a fake? There were a couple of reviews saying they went through a similar experience and the only tell was the packaging it came in.

I actually purchased a pilot metropolitan and it worked really well after a few mins of getting the ink to flow through it.

My only gripe is that it has an odd quirk with certain strokes but a lot of reviews mentioned this.

I use a 3rd party one without any issues for my PC.

I do have an official adapter for power though. I’ve seen too many folks kill there’s with 3rd party ones.

Thanks for the tip.

You know what’s crazy ?

I know folks who don’t experience this and think we’re crazy for having this happen.
