Ack, this turned out really REALLY rushed, oh well; at least I managed to create something. Instead of buttons for a remote, you move it around like you would a Wii remote - it's got a cursor and everything. To select something, flick the remote up and down once, like it's nodding its head. To go back from something, flick your hand to the left. If you're surfing through channels on cable, the slide your thumb up and down the bar on the left and swipe right onto the checkmark once you've decided on a channel. To turn the TV off/on, move the remote in a circle 3 times; that's what the little rectangle at the top is for.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
