      Just received my brushes , and tried on different apps.
      I am not really impressed. There is a lot of delay from the stroke and the actual draw.
      If you look at your videos it gives a different impression on the actual behaviour.
      I will certainly try it out more and give a better feed back.

      I received my sensu brush today. Here in Brazil.
      The brush is pretty good, but the other side of the brush is not so sensitive.
      The brush is so shiny, stainless steel.
      Thank you Artist Hardware!

      Sensu arrived here in Germany - its behaviour is different from what i expected (the touchscreen is simply not sensitive enough to really enable brush-like painting) but i think it´s an interesting input device nevertheless.
      Did you get my mail to rick@artisthardware.com? I had changed my pledge to two brushes, but only received one.

      M. Patricia, my guess is the black stylus is stuck in the cap and thus has caused the bristles to be pushed back. Get a little flashlight and have a look inside?

      First, I love my Sensu brush. I'm doing digital painting again for the first time in years. But I did want to let you know that I picked up my Sensu this morning and discovered that the black stylus tip had gone missing, and that — despite my putting it away very carefully each time — half the brush tip had gotten bent back at a 90-degree angle. I'd happily get another to replace it, but since I took such care with it and still had this happen, I'm reluctant to do so.

      Hi Kongkong,
      The Gunmetal edition of Sensu finally arrived this week. We have inspected and are shipping them out now. Thanks for you patience.

      Got my Sensu a couple of weeks ago (Australia). The weight and feel in the hand is great, the functionality is spot-on. Very happy.
      The only thing I would offer as a slight suggestion for later runs would be to look at the cap design. It works brilliantly to protect the stylus tip/brush which is not in use, but the risk of damaging the brush by misaligning the brush with the cap is pretty high. A suggested fix for this would be to look at having the open end of the cap tapered/at an angle rather than perpendicular to the body of the cap. This would allow the user to place the brush, at an angle, against the pointy side of the cap to locate it, and then pivot so that the brush lays into the cap nicely.
      (Makes more sense in my mind as opposed to in text. But happy to discuss further if you'd like.)
      Apart from that? Sensu-sational!

      I got my Sensu for a week now, I am so regret now havent purchase for more. It is so good that can get rid of the other stylus. If goes to open sale, I am gonna get another one or two ~

      Been playing with the Sensu for a couple weeks now on and off and I admit I am hooked. Will be buying more when you open up the online store, especially if you start putting out different sizes and shapes. Even the stylus itself is much more solid than some of the ones sold online. Going on Vacation for 2-weeks next week and hope to sit on the beach and do some iPad painting. I just gave you a nice review on iMore too. Love the brush.. A++ job!

      I haven't received my brushes (Australia), I'm wondering if there's a list available to track the shipping progress?
      I'm not being impatient I just want to make sure the parcel hasn't been lost in transit while I sit around thinking they haven't been sent yet.

      received mine today, (spain)

      the feel of the brush in art rage,Procreate, auryn Ink or paper is simply wonderful, a very nice product, worth the wait, and each penny we paid for it

      as other have noticed, the plastic rub end needs more pressure to work for those of us used to wacom pens, for example, but I have to admit that once you get used to it, it feels like a real pen :)

      I'm, really happy, you must be proud of it
