Cross Tech 2

The Cross Tech 2 keeps the multifunction idea simple: the ballpoint end writes, and the stylus end works on a screen. No extra tool in your pocket, no second stylus floating around in a drawer, and definitely one less battery you have to worry about charging. Just a slim Cross pen that happens to be useful in more than one place. It gives you the two tools most people actually reach for during the day, and keeps them in one clean barrel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Cross Tech 2 stylus an active stylus or a capacitive one? +

The Cross Tech 2 uses a capacitive stylus, which simply means it works on modern touchscreen phones and tablets without a battery or Bluetooth connection. Flip the pen around, and it's ready to tap, scroll, or sign. However, it is not built for drawing or handwriting recognition the way an active stylus like an Apple Pencil is.

Does the stylus work on iPhone and Android touchscreens? +

The Tech 2 stylus works on most standard capacitive touchscreens, including current iPhones and Android phones and tablets. Think of it as a convenient way to tap, scroll, sign, and navigate without using your finger. It’s meant for scrolling feeds, tapping through emails, and signing PDFs, which is exactly how most of us actually spend our screen time.

Is the Cross Tech 2 worth the money? +

The Cross Tech 2 is worth the money if your day regularly moves between paper and a touchscreen. You get a solid brass body, which will easily survive a drop onto asphalt, a standard Cross ballpoint refill that is cheap and easy to replace, and a stylus top you can swap when it wears down. We are an authorized retailer, which means you're getting a genuine Cross pen complete with the Cross lifetime mechanical warranty.

Does the Cross Tech 2 come with a lifetime warranty? +

Yes, the Cross Tech 2 is backed by Cross's Lifetime Mechanical Warranty, which repairs or replaces the pen for mechanical failure for the life of the pen, at any age. It excludes normal wear, loss, or damage from misuse. The refill and stylus tip are considered wear items, so they're meant to be replaced when needed. The pen itself is designed to stay with you much longer.

How do you replace the stylus tip? +

To replace the stylus tip on the Tech 2, you twist off the worn top and twist the new one on, using the pen's simple screw fitting. The replacement part is the Cross #8939 stylus top, sold separately, so you can refresh a tip that has gone flat or stopped registering without buying a whole new pen.

What refill does it take? +

The Cross Tech 2 takes the Cross #8513 medium ballpoint refill, which comes installed and ready to write. Because it's one of Cross's standard ballpoint refills, replacements are easy to find whenever it's time for a new one.

What is the difference between the Cross Tech 2 and the Tech 3+? +

The difference between the Cross Tech 2 and the Tech 3+ comes down to how much you want the pen to do. The Tech 2 keeps things simple with one ballpoint and a stylus. The Tech 3+ adds a second ballpoint, a mechanical pencil, and a hidden eraser, turning it into more of a pocket toolkit. If writing and using a touchscreen are all you need, the Tech 2 is probably the better fit. If you like having several writing options in one pen, the Cross Tech 3+ was built for you.

Can the Cross Tech 2 be engraved? +

Yes, we can engrave the Cross Tech 2 with a name, initials, or a short message in several fonts. Engraving turns a practical pen into a personalized gift for yourself, a loved one, or an entire office. Experiment with the engraving on our website to see how it will look, and order gift wrap if needed.

Is the Cross Tech 2 a good gift? +

The Tech 2 is a good gift for a student, a new professional, or anyone who moves between paper and a touchscreen all day. It arrives in a Cross gift box, and can be engraved if you want it to feel more personal. It's built to be used, not shelved in a glass display case, so it fits just about anyone who writes and taps their way through the day.
