I had to google for it myself:  http://www.ergo-items.com/cursor/penmouse/wirelesspen_vm201.htm

I'd be curious if X supports them.

Probably won't work in Linux, I doubt if there is a Linux driver for it

I think it works just like a regular USB mouse, should work with X windows. I think we have a Logitech pen like that at work..cant test it now though, too much work atm.

 I have one.. not too crazy bout it. It is fairly awkward to work with for me. This is just my own personal opinion and experience

 The one I have is "EZ5 5d optical mouse pen, which has way too many buttons and a scroll wheel, etc. But I never tried it on Linux (I will tomorrow and post the results)
