Capacitive Stylus \ Pen

[BolshieBastard]

Anyone care to recommend a good capacitive stylus \ pen for use on a tablet? Dont want to get grubby finger mark all over the screen and they make it easier to write notes on screen rather than use your finger.

Surely you dont have to use same brand of tablet and stylus so long as they are both capacative?

Ta.

Just get one of these, only a few pence and doesn't get any more capcatative than this

I'm in the market for one of these myself but cant recommend any as not tried 'em yet.

I'm pretty sure i'm going to plump for the Wacom Bamboo stylus though as i've used their graphics tablets before and they have been really decent quality bits of kit. Looks like its pretty expensive for a stylus but gets good reviews.

Edited, few more here: http://www.macworld.com/article/1156...s_roundup.html, that AluPen one looks ok too.

I have the Alupen - JustMobile £20

Having spent nearly £30 on other rubbish pens.

best available but still a big lump.

Would like something similar to a mechanical pencil some day...

This looks like an interesting idea: the Jot stylus Adonit Jot stylus for iPad - a set on Flickr. (Matt Gemmell, who posted the photos, isn't associated with the company: he's a freelance iOS/Mac dev who's just bought one.)

Apparently the tip needs to be quite large (fnarr etc.) to register, making it hard to see exactly where you're positioning it, so they've given it a transparent tip with a visible point at the centre. Link to the product at Amazon on that Flickr page.

In the end, I got an odoyo i stylus duo plus. Works as a stylus and proper pen. Refills will probably be some silly price though.
