This is the specific one I'm trying out.

Full disclosure: I will be testing it out and providing feedback on it as a product tester. I am getting the product at a discounted rate, but this has no bearing on my review of the product.

This one actually has a lot of excellent reviews, and I like that the tip is retractable (I assume this cuts down on accumulation of lint, dust, dirt, and debris when it's stored in a pocket, in a bag, etc.).

I also came across this one, which has replaceable tips (so the entire stylus body doesn't need to be thrown out when a tip is worn out). It has the same rating, but more than 1.5 times the reviews of the one I'm getting.

Reading through some of the reviews of the first product, it seems like the tips do last for a while.

If you do want to see if you can get better precision (I realize now this is a more appropriate word than accuracy) I would suggest you try to open up one of the tips and 'stretch' it to a point with a plastic 'nub' (like a coffee stirrer) and see what the screen response is like. It would likely involve a lot of 'kludging', but when I first got a rubber-tipped capacitive stylus I thought of doing something similar to get a finer implement.

Just a general tip for any character - keep a bubble or two handy so that when you've cleared several long chains in succession you can pop a bubble so it stops the animations and gets the new tsums to fall right away.

I used to use my finger to play and was really fast, but playing so much my finger tip was actually aching. I got a stylus and while it initially slowed me down a tiny bit, now I'm faster with a stylus and it keeps your swiping hand from obscuring the screen, so you can see and make matches even faster.

I bought this one from Amazon and it's super - very comfortable and the tip is great. I recommend getting the replacement tips so you have them on hand.

I have been using this for a while:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MOHLVC

Works great, and best of all, no more smudges on my screen :)

I have not really used it for writing notes though. I use it for most other tasks but note taking. The tip is pretty big, so not sure how accurate it would be for taking notes.

For general use, it is a great stylus though.

u/pro_forma_life · 2 pointsr/ipad

Hey I use this guy. I tried about 6 and am pleased with the way this one works.

Edit Here is an example of my notes

u/fckjosh · 2 pointsr/ipad

I've been using notabilty and this stylus with my air. Been loving it so far.

u/TylerPAD · 2 pointsr/PuzzleAndDragons

This is the stylus I use:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008MOHLVC?pc_redir=1408029108&robot_redir=1

The hybrid tip is very smooth on the screen. In fact, I was slipping off the screen when I first used it :p. The stylus is much better than the thumb when you get comfortable with it!

Using a stylus makes playing much easier for me because I can see the whole board while I manipulate orbs.

Its a bit pricey but I figure I've thrown more stones at this game because I wasn't able to see where I was going and died. It's worth the investment for me.

I recommend it to people who want to use diagonal movements more consistently, increase board awareness, or have really fat fingers! :p

u/sprcow · 2 pointsr/PuzzleAndDragons

I tried half a dozen different styluses when I first got into pad and found that my favorite by far was the amPen. It has the woven metallic tip that never sticks like many of the cloth or rubber fiber ones do, and it is extremely light, unlike many of the other metallic tip styluses I tried.

It's been a few years, so perhaps they've improved, but I found that the friendly swede products worked amazing for awhile but eventually the tip would start sticking, no longer sliding smoothly along the glass. I know you can try to clean them off, but it ended up being too high maintenance, so I switched to the woven metallic type, which doesn't appear to have a similar problem.

u/Goobah · 2 pointsr/ipad

I use this one every day in school with Notability.

The tip has capacitive fiber wrapped around a rubber tip. It feels super smooth when writing. I added a rubber grip from a spare pen I had to make it easier to write for longer periods though. This makes it even better. Plus, it's so damn cheap!

Highly, highly recommended for note taking.

u/Buckwheat469 · 1 pointr/computers

Any capacitive touch pen should work just fine. Go for quality and compatibility, not because it says "Lenovo". Also, that Best Buy employee is most likely mentally handicapped.

As background, I own a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and Yoga 900, and I wouldn't buy a Lenovo pen unless the reviews gave it five stars and it made my wife jealous.

Edit: Aside from the joke answer, here's a person asking the same question and some answers. Here's a pen that someone in the thread says is "amazing" with the Yoga.

u/Sxcred · 1 pointr/college

You can keep searching for hard tip stylus' but you are probably not going to find one, I'd recommend looking for a compatible stylus with the smallest tip.

People recommend this one:

Sample of ... ?

I use this stylus daily. I also have this "precision" stylus, but I found that it scratches the screen. I had an Otterbox on my iPad Air, so the screen cover is scratched.

I just bought a refurbished iPad 4 with retina (the large one - not the mini) that I'm using to teach (I used my Air last semester).

You can find the product keys online (if no luck, shoot me a PM) for the newest version 14. Also, you can download the software from the website, which comes with a trial period.

u/misschae · 1 pointr/ipad

I have an amPen Hybrid Stylus, and I really like it!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MOHLVC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It does seem like it'd break if someone were to put too much pressure on the tip, but so far, I haven't had any problems with responding to the touch-screen.

u/trentaicedcoffee · 1 pointr/PuzzleAndDragons

I finally bought one of these last week: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MOHLVC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's much smoother and the pen doesn't need to be nearly vertical in order to work like the regular rubber tip ones. I would definitely suggest a knit/microfiber one, just like everyone else seems to be recommending.

u/Mister-S · 1 pointr/Android

Check out this one.

The tip is made of something different than the usual stylus material, so it slides across the N7 screen more easily than anything else I've used. Also, it's >$10

u/hentercenter · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I could really use this to help me draw. :)

Thanks for the contest!

Considering that you would be doing educational subjects, would recommend you get a windows tablet or windows compatible. Yea the Tab s2 is a much better choice than the a series. Battery life, gb ram which can run more apps, better processor, can upgrade to the latest os which marshmallow 6.0.[Youtube review video of 9.7] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amO5rzdaZjo) Best you get the [samsung galaxy tab s2 9.7 version] (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-SM-T810NZDEXAR-32GB-Gold/dp/B010OTG0DC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482195391&sr=1-12&keywords=tablet&refinements=p_36:30000-35000&linkCode=ll1&tag=qt088-20&linkId=4b97064859d4343cbbb884437c2c7e49) because the 9.7 has a wider screen which would be a better choice since you would be taking notes and also has sufficient battery life to faciliate it. I would recommend you get the [am pen stylus] (https://www.amazon.com/Stylus-amPen-Hybrid-Interchangeable-Feature/dp/B008MOHLVC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482196497&sr=1-3&keywords=tab+s2+stylus&linkCode=ll1&tag=qt088-20&linkId=90b9c393d664e1bc05efc60ab673b4a2) for it.

u/Anileda · 1 pointr/femalefashionadvice

I use this case for my iPhone 6, and I clip this stylus to the outside of it. It looks like a little notebook (as in paper) and I love it.

No tablets or anything else yet, but I like things to be both cute and functional. I would likely never buy the brick "lifeproof" cases because to me they're clunky.

For what it's worth, Tory Burch's "prettifying" of the FitBit has made me consider actually buying one of the things!

u/fytdk0117 · 1 pointr/PuzzleAndDragons

I use this one on my Nexus 7. Tip is kinda big, but seems like reviewers like it just fine for their phones.

u/Kryoskadi · 1 pointr/PuzzleAndDragons

This is the PAD Su-pen but as you can see it's pretty pricey.

This is the one I was saying, amPen Hybrid Stylus.

u/jackruby83 · 1 pointr/Nexus10

I recently did a continuing education program (~200 pages) with about 120 assessment questions. Using ezPDF as the reader, and an amPen stylus (http://www.amazon.com/cell-phones-accessories/dp/B008MOHLVC), I was able to highlight with reasonable accuracy and mark up the PDF with handdrawn circles/arrows, although I would suggest a more fine tip stylus for good note taking since the width of a standard stylus isn't really too much better than a carefully maneuvered finger. I haven't tried it, but the Adonit Jot Pro has some good reviews (http://www.amazon.com/Adonit-Stylus-iPhone-Kindle-Tablets/dp/B00931K1QK/ref=pd_cp_pc_0), and came recommended by folks on this subreddit, but it was a bit pricy. For note taking during class, I don't know how happy you'd be with note taking from any tablet though, IMHO.

I've been using this for a while. It has replacable tips so you don't have to buy a new stylus if your tip wears out. Also, since the tip is coated in some conductive fiber, it glides smoothly on your device.
