Best Stylus

[bobbydiv]

Looking for some suggestions here. Right after I got my Xoom, I bought a RocketFish stylus. It worked great for about three weeks or so. After the third week, it started to get flinty, for lack of a better work. It won't scroll at all, and is really only good for selecting things on screen now. Try and scroll through a widget like CNN or email, and it will just select whatever is under its tip. So i took it back and got a Targus. I'm in my third week with it, and its lasting longer, but starting to get clingy.

I keep the screen clean with micro fiber cloths, but I think it still picks up oils from my fingers over time, that are on the screen. Short of cleaning the screen with some type of safe screen cleaner after every time I use my fingers, do you all have any suggestions on a god stylus that won't do this? It would be nice to have one with as small a tip as possible for taking notes, etc...

There was a good stylus discussion thread in Accessories with some suggestions and links. You might want to check it out. I found a brush tip stylus somewhere which was pretty good, but can't find another.

Thanks. Still getting used to this forum, and its search ability. I looked and must have missed it. I will go and try to find it.

In case you didn't find it, here's a recent one. There are also others.

Thanks

Thanks for the link. That was perfect. I'm interested in one that was posted about the Adonit Jot Pro. That seems like it'll be perfect.

Yes, I'm interested in it too. If you get it will you give us a review?

 

[bobbydiv]

Yep. Hoping to hear back from the guy that mentioned it. If I don't, I will probably try to fervor this weekend.

Ok. For those of you interested in the Adonit Jot....

I have looked at several reviews on youtube about it, more paying attention to the quality and accuracy of the writing, then the opinion of the reviewers. Finally decided to give it a shot. I ordered one of the Adonit Jot's last night, should be here tomorrow. I will post my opinions Saturday night.

I did the Adonit Jot instead of the Jot Pro. Its $9.99 cheaper, allowing me to use the

difference to purchase a package of replacement tips as well. I have already tried a Rocket Fish and a Targus. The Targus is best so far for daily use, for swipping and such. Basically things that don't require a high degree of accuracy. The Jot should be much finer, for writing and drawing.

Slight setback in the Adnoit. Was supposed to be delivered today. Instead I woke up to an email from Amazon. They missed the ship date, so they refunded my overnight shipping fees. Not getting it until Monday. Sucks, but at least I got my shipping fees back.

I am ordering the Adonit Jot Pro and will let everyone here know how it works once I get it in-house.

So, as promised. The Adonit Jot is awesome. Though I'm still getting used to using it, it writes as smooth as butter. There is a little bit of getting used to just how much pressure to apply, but it doesn't take long. One thing that I did notice though. As smooth as it writes, you quickly get used to it as if your writing on paper, and start to let your hand settle like you would on a paper.

It's not a replacement for an everyday stylus. For scrolling, selecting, etc... I still recommend the Targus stylus. For writing and drawing however, I have found no equal. It truly is an amazing stylus. Check out YouTube for some user reviews and video's of people using it, and you'll quickly see.

It sounds like just what I need. Thanks for the review.
