I have a Wacom Bamboo stylus I use for sketching on my Asus TF300. I absolutely love it. I do wish the tip was smaller, though. I sometimes have to guess where the exact contact point on the tablet is and sometimes I'm off by a couple of millimeters.

Iurchased the DAGI StylusPEn P602. It is very similar to the Adinit Jot Touch, but without te BT capability. Tho I cnsidered the Jot, I felt BT wasn't needed and $99 was to costly for what I wanted to do.

Accuracy and ease of use is what I wanted. The DAGI is quite accurate, but all the stylui I have tried won't be vey accurate on the iPad screen because it wasn't dsigned for a stylus. The Galaxy Note is and Ialready am planning to buy it and replace my iPad.

I love using Sketchbook Pro and because the GSN screen is designed for using astylus, it will work a bit better.

Drawinbg adwriting just feels so good vs always just tapping nd sliding with the finger. Ihave drawn and sketched lots of neat things and it is my most used app. I even use it at work for presentation and after watching me use it, many of our employees also bought the same stylus.

Pressure sensitivity is a must have for real drawing. Anyone who has used a Wacom tablet on a computer can attest to that. But pressure must be supported by the application on the tablet. The Adonit Jot Touch sounds great and the Procreate App is not only an excellent art app, but it also supports the BT pressure input.

Good article, but prices are off. The Virtuoso Stylus/Pen is actually about $25.00 for the one depicted in the article. The one that is stylus only is the $15.00 quoted in the article.

Don't forget the Wacom Bamboo. Wacom has been making stylii for a very long time and it shows. They also have one huge advantage - replacement nibs! What I have not seen any article mention is that the nibs wear out. Only Wacom has replacement nibs.

Where's the TruGlide stylus from lynktec.com? Now THAT'S an awesome stylus! If you haven't tried it already, then you should definitely give it a try!

My problem with Maglus & customer support: there is NO customer support, and they are NOT good to deal with. Buy a different product -they DO NOT guarantee their product, and they do NOT stand behind it.

Hello, I purchased my stylus last fall. It is great, except that the rubber grips on the sides are now sliding around, and the edges have become sticky. I would like to have the problem fixed.

Hi there.
If you send the stylus to us here in Ireland we can repair it and send it back to you. However, considering the time and shipping costs involved, I suggest that you use superglue to fix the problem at far less effort and expense.
Kind regards,

I tried your suggestion. Superglue needs two surfaces in total contact. Your system has the rubber grip larger than the indented area, and obviously relied on the glue to fill the void. Superglue does not work that way.

This, to me, reflects poorly on your product. I paid a lot of money for what is quickly proving to be a substandard product. It should certainly last more than 6 months.

Your excuse that it is too costly to return and repair is unacceptable. Your product has not held up. Replacement, if not repair, at your expense, would be the accepted and proper response.

I am not impressed, and will make my views known.
