Default 3 compacitive stylus (styli?) for under 3 bucks shipped

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i00_details

Amazon has a sale on these stylus pens for $2.22 shipped. Any red flags on these? I likely would only use it to draw better. Other than that, I can't find other reasons for a stylus.
Current:
Phone: T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999)
ROM: Official stock JB from T-Mobile
Recovery: Stock

Tablet: Acer Iconia A500
ROM: CM10 Jelly Bean 4.1 by waydownsouth
Recovery: Thor's 1.7 Touch Recovery of CWM

If I do not Thank your thread, it's because of the XDA Classic forum theme, sorry...

The three colored ones?
I got them a long time ago.

I mainly use them for draw something. They do okay I guess. Nothing exceptionally good, just ok.. Not very precise but better than fingers for sure..

Edit: I lose them a lot, so I guess cheap is always good.
Current Devices:
HTC Radar 4G ^ Windows Phone HD2O (RTM Edition) ^
Acer Iconia Tab A500 ^ ICS 4.0.3 ^
iPod Touch 4G ^ iOS 6.0 ^

DONATE TO ME
THE Digitizer grid is not small enough for the real pen like stylus such as the galaxy note. There are a few precise stylus but they have a wide round see thru plate on for tip. I have one and it works much better then those posted above. I would love one to work like my Intuos 4 tablet. NOW That would rock.
As far as the price well you get what you pay for .

Good Luck
Its my Nexus 7 Get your own.Play nice and follow the rules or you WILL end up in the knob jail Cell

Well been using one for a few now, and worth the $2. I prefer my fingers for most stuff, but the styli work just as good as my $15 targus, just lighter and alot cheaper.

Just be careful the rubber tip doesn't smash and expose the metal rim on the stylus. This will cause horrible scratches on your screen (learned this the hard way). I got a nano fabric, retractable stylus a little while back. It works great!
