    I have a wacom-type pen for a tablet that uses one of those. It was a total pain in the ass the time I was traveling and accidentally discharged it by jamming the button in a tight-packaged bag. Turns out, they are pretty much only available online. No normal shop ever stocks them, not even electronics shops nor radio shacks. Barely anyone even heard of them. Tried disassembling a few 9V’s, but all of them were the stacked kind. And with international shipping going 2-6 weeks and me changing locations more often than that, it was an extremely difficult to get hold of them.
