What the AI looks for in Counter Pens

Anchoring
Screw-mount bases suit permanent counters, adhesive bases suit smooth surfaces you may need to clear later Adhesive bases fail on textured or dusty counters.
Tether
A metal ball chain or coiled cord long enough to reach the signing spot Short or plastic tethers snap, and the pen walks off.
Refill
Choose pens that take replaceable refills Otherwise the whole unit must be replaced when the ink runs out.
Tip exposure
Prefer ballpoint ink over gel or felt for capless use Exposed gel and felt tips dry out and leave customers with a dead pen.

What to avoid

  • Felt-tip counter pens left uncapped
  • Thin plastic chains in busy public areas
