Stylus for capacitive touchscreen

Here’s a stylus that will turn heads.  Instead of those short, skinny styluses that cause your fingers to cramp up, add a Stylus Cap from More/Real to your Sharpie.  Sharpies are a good size to hold comfortably, and the added stylus cap means you’ll be able to use it with your tablet or smart phone [...]

Trying to choose your perfect stylus is a tough task due to the huge variety of capacitive styluses to choose from. There are tiny ones like the MicroStylus that stores in your device’s headphone jack to long ones like the Joy Factory Monet Stylus that looks more like a drumstick than a stylus. I think the [...]

Back in the day, all touchscreen devices came with a tiny little stylus that was hard to hold and easy to lose.  Eventually capacitive touchscreens that respond to the touch of your fingers evolved, and most people rejoiced.  Not everybody, though, because some people like using a stylus because they don’t want to smear their [...]

I’m reminded of the scene in Crocodile Dundee when Dundee looks at the knife held by the would-be mugger, pulls out his own knife, and says something like “that’s not a knife – this is a knife!”  Now this is a stylus!  This Giant Pencil Touchscreen stylus from ThinkGeek dwarfs other styli I’ve seen, and [...]
