Inspired by spacecraft, sci-fi, and all things cosmos – Hoverpen 2.0: Interstellar Edition is our boldest, most radical design yet.

We’ve designed the most mesmerizing, most fidget-able pen in the galaxy.

Hoverpen 2.0: Interstellar Edition can’t help but be the centerpiece of your desktop setup, where it will be met with awe and envy alike.

Hoverpen 2.0: Interstellar Edition was designed to impress, resisting gravity at a 23.5 degree angle. Perfectly balanced thanks to its painstaking craftsmanship, the way Hoverpen 2.0 defies gravity makes it impossible to ignore. 

Just as Earth’s gravity loses its authority in space, so too does gravity flounder against Hoverpen 2.0 as it pushes back against the laws of physics.

With its new ridged design the Hoverpen 2.0 becomes a mesmerizing marvel to watch when spinning, as its circular acceleration and deceleration are now fully visible. A simple twist will send the pen spinning for up to 20 seconds in flawless, kinetic motion.

Fun to fidget, hypnotic to watch – Hoverpen 2.0 provides much needed entertainment during those dull workdays. Give it a spin, sit back, and ponder on the mysteries of the universe as the Hoverpen 2.0 revolves over and over.

According to numerous studies, task switching has been shown to improve creativity and problem solving. Researchers found that by constantly switching tasks, people improved both their convergent thinking (logical thinking) and divergent thinking (out-of-the-box thinking) when faced with creative tasks. A study by Harvard Business Review found that frequently interrupting your brainstorming with consistent micro-breaks resulted in more idea generation than no breaks.

The Hoverpen was designed around this idea. Picture the scene: you’re hard at work on a new project. You arrive at a seemingly impossible problem and are mulling it over when you spot the Hoverpen on your desk and give it a spin. Over the next hour, you look up and spin the Hoverpen from time to time. Without even realizing it, you’ve reformatted your brain into an idea generation machine and crunch through the problem effortlessly.

We designed Hoverpen as the ultimate task-switching tool. Every now and then, take a moment out of your day, spin the pen, and boost your creativity like never before.

Here are some task switching articles for your big brain to chew on:

Inspired by the shape of famous science fiction spacecraft such as the USS Enterprise, Naboo Starships, and Interstellar’s Ranger spacecraft – the design elements of the Hoverpen 2.0 are a delight to science fiction fans like ourselves. 

The sleek, dynamic lines of the pen body offer a glimpse of the advanced future we’ve all read about and seen on the silver screen.

While the pen is ergonomically shaped to feel soft and gentle in the hand, the Hoverpen 2.0’s pedestal takes on a new shape inspired by Star Trek’s USS Enterprise. Its magnetized ring design keeps the pen suspended in place, giving it that “floating in space” flair that we know fans of sci fi and space exploration will come to love.

The casing of Hoverpen 2.0’s body is crafted from a single piece of aircraft grade aluminum. It is uniquely machined as one long piece of metal – giving it it an aura of high quality craftsmanship rarely seen in other pens. 

While the head is a separate screw-on – so that reloading the cartridge is possible – the rest of the pen is constructed from what we like to call a “uni-body” design.

The material for the body is carved from high quality aluminum sourced from a premium supplier. With a long-lasting aircraft grade aluminum body, Hoverpen 2.0 is designed to last for decades.

Hoverpen 2.0 also comes in a stunning premium upgrade option: 18k gold plating. These real 18k gold embellisments will take your Hoverpen 2.0 from extravagant to extraordinary. The gold-plated Hoverpen 2.0 is truly an incredible sight to behold, as light glints off the precious metal adornments making your Hoverpen 2.0 seemingly glow as the pen spins against gravity.

We have a limited quantity of gold-embellished Hoverpen 2.0s as part of this campaign, at a $30 discount. Instead of paying $149 MSRP, limited gold edition Hoverpen early bird pledges are available for only $119.

To add gold plating to your ALL-IN, 2x, 6x, 15x, or Meteorite pledge, simply add $44 per pen. 

With a soft ergonomic finish, Hoverpen 2.0: Interstellar Edition feels like satin in the hand. Soft and gentle to the touch, our latest Hoverpen was designed to make long, strenuous writing sessions feel light and enjoyable.

Hoverpen 2.0’s curved lines are not only visually stunning, they sit right along the hollow of your hand, making for a more pleasurable writing experience.

At Shanpo, we’re obsessed with magnetism – it’s why we’ve even made the cap for the Hoverpen 2.0 magnetically snap into place. Just holding the pen a small distance from the lid is enough for the cap to get sucked onto the pen.

Just playing with the magnetic cap can provide hours of fidgeting bliss. We’ve designed every element of Hoverpen 2.0 to fit into your daily work life.

With a pen and premium as the Hoverpen 2.0, it’d be a shame to load it with anything but the best ink cartridges. Hoverpen 2.0 comes equipped with Schmidt ballpoint cartridges, the German-engineered luxury standard in ballpoint pens. Versatile yet flexible, Hoverpen 2.0 promises no spills, no spotting, and definitely no explosions.

Like most other high-end luxury pens, the Hoverpen 2.0 is complete reloadable. Simply pull out the cartridge using the included pincher tool and re-insert any D1 sized refill. Quick and easy reloads make the Hoverpen 2.0 one of the most versatile pens on the market for a fraction of the price of a luxury designer pen.

We also include one free extra cartridge in each pledge (or an extra graphite rod if pledging for the graphite pencil option).

Already have the original Hoverpen and looking for something different? Or maybe you’re an engineer or artist looking for something you can draft with? Hoverpen 2.0 is now available as a graphite pencil. That’s right, we’ve finally designed a Hoverpencil! Mistake-makers rejoice!

Quickly and easily reload the pencil by stabbing the included pincher and reinserting any 2mm graphite pencil lead. Just like with the pen version, we’ve included an extra refill with every pledge. We’ve also included a free sharpening module, pictured above, to keep your writing nimble and clean.

We said we’re fans of space, cosmology and astronomy, and we know you are too. We’d be letting our backers down unless we offered them something truly unique, something truly one-of-a-kind.

So we went out and found a real meteorite. And then we added it to the tip of the Hoverpen 2.0: Interstellar Edition. That’s right, now you can have a genuine piece of outer space sitting right there on your work desk.

We obtained this meteorite at an auction from a member of the IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association), so it is fully authentic. Each Meteorite edition of the Hoverpen 2.0 will be completely unique. No two pens will have the same pattern thanks to a special acid process used to bring out the details of the meteorite and the imperfections etched by space and time itself. Every Meteorite pledge will receive a unique numbered card with information on their extremely special pen and its origins.

The Muonionalusta meteorite landed in northern Scandanavia over one million years ago. Muonionalusta meteorite is the oldest meteorite on Earth, and now you can own a piece of it – a piece of cosmic history, a symbol of the ageless expanse of the universe – sitting in the palm of your hand. This is truly an incredible, rare, and legendary upgrade to the Hoverpen 2.0

We only have 50 of these incredible pens available as Muonionalusta meteorite is so rare and difficult to acquire. If you’re a student of the cosmos, or simply passionate about the universe beyond, don’t miss out on bringing a mysterious piece of it to your desktop.

The meteorite on the end of the Muonionalusta Meteorite Hoverpen 2.0 is 20 million years older than the Earth itself. Not only can you now own a piece of this ancient beauty, you can write with it every day as it sits embedded onto the end of your Hoverpen. 

All Muonionalusta Meteorite pledges will come in a premium box and include every add-on from the ALL-IN pledge for free.

We’re also going to include a special mystery gift for all Muonionalusta Meteorite backers – to be revealed at a later date!

For an extra $44, you can also enhance the Muonionalusta Meteorite Hoverpen 2.0 with the limited edition 18k gold plating upgrade to create a truly unmatched, legendary Hoverpen.

At Shanpo, we’re not shy about our love of all things space. Science fiction, astronomy, the history of the universe – these things have made us the people we are today. When we started brainstorming what the ultimate Hoverpen would look like, we wanted it to be more than just a fantastic writing instrument and desktop marvel – we wanted it represent us and our journey. Some of our more overt inspirations include:

• The ring of the zinc alloy pedestal is inspired by the saucer section of the USS Enterprise.
• The landing dock on the pedestal is based on the spherical shape of planets and moons.
• The curves of the pen itself borrows elements of famous rockets and shuttles.
•  

Highly precise craftsmanship of the pedestal has the Hoverpen sitting in a ring of magnetic repulsion. Balancing against at a 23.5 degree angle, the pen itself is engineered to take a stand against gravity itself.

Our manufacturing has to be unbelievably precise, because a discrepancy of more than 1 mm in any direction will cause the pen to fall out of the ring. For this reason, we will be on the ground at the factory during production, doing product testing ourselves and assuring the top-tier quality standards our backers are used to. Our calculations need to be as flawless as a rocket scientist’s prior to launch.

To really round out the experience of your Hoverpen 2.0, we’ve created a variety of luxury add-ons. 

To purchase an add-on, simply add the price of the add-on to your Indiegogo pledge.

Just when you thought the Hoverpen 2.0 couldn’t get any classier, we’ve upgraded the accent base in Hoverpen 2.0 to darkened glass. This 5mm near-black glass base reflects the artistic design of the Hoverpen 2.0, giving it a sense of luxury and prestige.

Going on a trip? Putting the Hoverpen in your bag or briefcase? Now you can protect your investment with style.

This lightweight aluminum case is built with the same tensile strength as the pen, meaning both the case and the pen will be protected in transit. We’re also looking for ways to keep the pen fixed in place inside this gorgeous capsule so it is snug and secure inside.

We designed the aluminum carry case to be sleek and small, so it has a minimal space footprint. This add-on is available for just $22 and is an affordable, attractive way to transport your Hoverpen with finesse.

If you want multiple pens, but don’t need multiple pedestals, we are now offering an option to get a “Hoverpen 2.0 (no pedestal) + aluminum carry case” as an add-on for $54 (retail price $70). That way you can have an array of different colored Hoverpens, or both graphite and ballpoint so you can swap it out on its base as you please.

The first Hoverpen is now sold all over the world in high-end bookstores and jewelry stores. Our brand is now internationally known for its commitment to quality. Check out what previous backers had to say about our last campaign.
