Thank you for sharing your experiences.

My wrist isn't what it used to be (maybe RSA, definitely years of typing). I've noticed that my performance depends partly on the pen I use.

For example, very cheap plastic pens with poor nibs lead to pain after a few minutes and I would like to try out the official GMAT pen/paper in practice.

Can you please describe the official test aids in detail so that I can buy them? I'll probably take my exam in London (UK).

Thanks!

Its double sided laminated paper, with a dry erase pen. There is, however, no eraser.

And This is common all over places. One such booklet contains 5-6 sheets.

As hamm0 already pointed out, the Manhattan test simulation booklet is the way to go. Purchasing that item was absolutely worth it (at least for me).
