Adonit jot - the best capacitive stylus in existent

goodintentions · Sep 24, 2011

I highly recommend it. It is by far the best one out there. Way better than the new dagi p602. It's incredible. I'm amazed how much better it is than everything else I have tried.

A lot of people have been asking about the conductive grease. The following is the one I use and it works great. Also cheap.

You can also find conductive grease at local hardware stores, like home depot. Just ask an associate. I think you can get one as cheap as like $1.75.

Where do they sell it? The website only shows preorders

Also.. what's the different between jot and jot pro....is it just the grip?

You can "preorder" to order right now. Someone's been too lazy to update the website.

The only difference between the jot and jot pro is the pro has a magnet for you to stick it to the ipad. For our purposes, just get the jot.

I've been using it. Holy cow, it feels 99% like a real pen with ink. It's incredible how good the damn thing is. Insanely accurate, too.

Which video???

Also it doesn't work if you have a ghost armor screen protector, which I have.

Just never mind. Go with the typical fat-ass rubber tip. Or even better. Go get an ipad.

I tried a few different stylus, but on the TF these stylus' did not perform anything like a pen.

I realized I am looking for a digitizer, not a capacitive touch stylus, which are two different technologies.

I am looking for a "dual" tablet, with capacitive touch and digitizer.

Yes, this has to be the right answer on my stupid and probably pretty complicated question...

Trust me, the adonit jot might as well be a digitizer.

Your questions don't make sense. Hard to answer.

Just look at it this way. Suppose I tell you I love my tablet, and you ask the question "can I bat a ball in a baseball game with the tablet?"

I just asked on which video particularly did you mean when sad “Watch the video”, but never mind, I found a lots of YouTube adonit jot reviews, and it seems that adonit jot is one pretty good stylus. Did somebody test adonit jot vs. dagi P503? They look very similar and I wondering which one is better…

I own half a dozen different styli, including the dagi p500s and p600s. My problem with the dagi is that they all go dead in about 2 months. I had this happen to me to several dagi styli, and I'm not the only one who has experienced this.

That said, the biggest plus about the adonit jot is that there's no friction between the stylus and the glass. It really does feel like using a pen.

Return your Transformer and get the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet. It has both capacitive touch and a digitizer, and an optional keyboard dock.

Having owned a tablet PC in the past with an actual Wacom digitizer, there is no comparison, even with the best capacitive stylus that money can buy. Don't waste your time with capacitive-only devices if you're going to be doing a lot of work with handwriting or drawing.

Well, might I dare say that your experiences with capacitive styli in the past never included an adonit jot, since it just came out just now?

I've worked with a wacom digitizer before, too. Trust me on this. There's a reason why I posted this thread. The adonit jot really does feel like a real pen. And might I dare say that it actually feels better than a digitizer.

What puzzles me is why no big brand names have done enough research to come to this point before. We had to wait for this no-name company to have done enough research to provide us with something as wonderful as this.

I know, you probably don't believe me how good this stylus feels. Try it. I'm not kidding when I said this feels 98% or so like a real pen. The response and accuracy are simply astonishing.

It's not about feel and accuracy, it's about additional features built into the pen and digitizer. Capacitive screens don't offer pressure sensitivity, and the pen only has one business end. Arists and designers need pressure sensitivity and at least an "eraser" end on the pen in order to do their work quickly and efficiently, and it's even better if the pen has some built-in programmable buttons. The Adonit can get the job done for the occasional doodle and handwritten note, but some people rely on a pen for 40+ hours of their week, which is why digitizers exist in the first place.

You're right, of course, in this respect. I should have have said for all intents and purposes of a capacitive device such as the TF, the adonit jot stylus is perhaps the best option for hand written notes and art works.

As far as responses and feel, I still say the adonit jot feels and gets a better response from the tf than the digitizer pen I have worked with in the past. This really is an amazing product.
