Are there any alternative colors available for the pencil lead? I’d like to have a purple or blue option for my daughter. Can we also get a refill pack of the pencil lead?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your interest in additional pencil lead colors and a refill pack! Unfortunately, our current production run only includes a standard lead color. However, we’re happy to suggest a couple of alternatives for you and your daughter – you can try our online search for third-party stores that offer customizable or different colored pencil leads. Additionally, we’ve just conducted an internal poll to see what our customers like to have as the next variant for our pencil lead, let’s just say that both blue and purple options got an extremely large number of votes.

What is the material of the writing slate used to make it durable?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question about the Problue AC-36-2 Writing Slate, Liam. Our writing slate is made of durable recycled fiberboard, which provides excellent durability and a smooth writing surface. This material helps our product withstand heavy use and can be easily cleaned with a cloth. We’re glad you’re interested in learning more about the materials we use to make our products.

I love the compact size of the Problue AC-36-2 Writing Slate. It’s perfect for travel or for use in the classroom. However, I wish it came with a carrying case.
Liang Teng Feng –
Is the pencil lead refillable or do I need to replace it completely? I’m looking for an eco-friendly option.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Liang. I’m happy to help. The pencil lead in our Problue AC-36-2 Writing Slate is not refillable, unfortunately. However, we understand the importance of eco-friendliness, and we appreciate your preference. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly option, you might consider purchasing a refill pack of graphite powder or buying a refilled pencil lead from a third-party vendor. Unfortunately, we do not currently offer any eco-friendly alternatives for our pencil lead. We’ll definitely take your feedback on board and consider our options moving forward.

I ordered the Problue AC-36-2 Writing Slate w/ Compass & Pencil Lead last week, but unfortunately, it arrived with a small dent on the slate. I hope this is just a one-time error.
Akira Goh –
I was a bit disappointed that the pencil lead was not as dark as I expected, but overall the Problue AC-36-2 Writing Slate is a solid product.
Yusri Tan –
Can the compass be detached from the writing slab to be used separately?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question about our Problue AC-36-2 Writing Slate. The compass is actually a built-in feature on the writing slate itself, so it cannot be detached from the writing surface. However, it is designed to be functional and can be used for navigation and measurement purposes while writing. If you’re looking for a separate compass, we do offer other products that may meet your needs.

I recently purchased the Problue AC-36-2 Writing Slate for my kids, and I must say it’s a great tool for them to practice their drawing and writing skills. The slate is made of high-quality material, and the compass is very accurate. However, I find it a bit pricey for a small tool like this.
Emily Tan –
I absolutely loved using the Problue AC-36-2 Writing Slate! The quick-release mechanism made it so easy to change the paper, and the compass was super precise. I was able to draw some of my best diagrams with it.
Pamela Ong –
Does this product work well for navigation?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concern about using our Problue AC-36-2 Writing Slate for navigation. Unfortunately, this writing slate is designed for general writing purposes and may not provide the precision or accuracy required for navigation. The compass included with the slate is intended more as a novelty item. We recommend using a dedicated compass or GPS device for navigation purposes. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask.
