News, reviews and articles about styluses and accessories.
I’ve written quite a few articles for various publications in the last 30 years or so. All of them were typed on some sort of keyboard, until this one. I am writing this on my iPad Pro 12.9″ with an Apple Pencil using a software app called Nebo from a company called MyScript. Twenty years […]

I remember when you had to have a stylus to enter text on your PDA. Then when finger friendly touchscreens took over, styluses became an accessory that most people no longer needed or even wanted. That said, there are still many people who enjoy using styluses to draw and write on their tablets and smartphones.

The digital stylus, reimagined. That’s what Scriba did, investing an impressive amount of research and design into building a stylus for creatives that’s not quite like anything else I’ve played with before. It’s definitely innovative, and there’s a lot to like. How does it work? Let me draw you a picture… or two… or three…

A couple of years ago, I bought the Adonit Jot Touch stylus to go with my (then) new iPad Air 2. It was easy to use, came with over 2,000 levels of pressure sensitivity, had a fine point tip, and had great build quality. I tried it out with some note taking and a few

The iPad Pro and Apple Pencil are a formidable duo. The iPad Pro is fast, has a crisp, bright display, and the response of the Pencil on that display is something to behold. I don’t use the pencil much, but I do like to have it with me. If you’ve not seen it, it is

Back in the day when touchscreen devices were not finger-friendly, a stylus was a must have accessory. Today, styluses have two main uses: note taking and drawing. Like pens and pencils, styluses come in all manner of shapes and sizes, but one thing holds true with today’s styluses… If you want a stylus with a

Steve Jobs may have hated them, but I’ve always liked styluses. I have a collection of them because I’m always trying to find the perfect one that doesn’t feel like a stylus at all, but more like a pen on paper. The latest stylus that I’ve had the opportunity to test is the Stilo stylus.
