Reddit reviews Musemee Notier V2 (Red) - The World's Most Precision Stylus for Ipad, iPhone and Other Touch Screen Devices

As a student I would be very interested in a 12-13" iPad "Pro" if it featured a better solution for stylus input (I currently take notes with Notability and a capacitive stylus, but there's tons of room for improvement there) and better multitasking support (I have an iPad Air, the 1GB of RAM can be annoying at times when I'm taking notes in Notability and switching to Safari and iBooks at the same time). What I really need is a way to have my textbook PDF open at the same time as my note taking app so that I can read it and take notes, which is not currently possible with just one device (right now I put up my textbook on my iPad and type out notes on my MacBook Air).

Condensing my work load into one device would be cool, but I don't know how comfortable I'd be replacing my MacBook Air and iPad with a single iPad Pro, especially if it meant I'd be losing things like the 2 USB plugs and the Lightning plug, going down from a 256GB SSD to (likely) 128GB of storage with no reasonable way to keep an offline backup (I have a 1TB spinning disk drive with USB3 for backups and storing TV/Movies/Music).

I think the future could look more like having a more powerful desktop to use at home and then a have a iPad Pro that's somewhere in between the current iPad and a MacBook to have as a portal computing device, instead of having a laptop and an iPad that I carry around everywhere.

Its a precision stylus. It would be used for things like drawing or writing on a phone or tablet. They can actually get to be pretty expensive.


This is a similar one. Same type of tip.

Not all of them are 5mm, you can find extremely precise ones if you look.

I love love love my iPad. For a majority of my day I can literally take an iPad case with one folder for looseleaf handouts and have more than I could ever carry in my high school and early college backpacks full of books, notebooks, and paper.

I use an app called Notability 80% of the time, with Google Drive the other 20%. I mostly hand write using a Notier stylus (I like drawing pictures, using different colors and arrows and stuff), but if I'm writing a paper or something I just take out a Bluetooth keyboard and write in Google Docs. Between Notability, Dropbox and Drive my files are all sitting on my phone, tablet and computer at all times so I always have access to everything, which has never been possible before. It's pretty much my favorite thing ever...

You want something like a disc-tip stylus: https://www.amazon.com/Musemee-Notier-Capacitance-Touchscreen-Red/dp/B00CA66YGQ

my first ipad was the 3 and i still have it. with an app called goodnotes, i used the stylus with the plastic tip disc and annotated on pdfs/created handwritten notes/diagrams regularly to study. i am soon going to switch to ipad pro and pencil, but this has worked really well for me and my digital handwriting was the same as analog lol. i have switched from the ipad 3 to the mini 2 now and use the same stylus https://smile.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00CA66YGQ/ref=sr_1_2_olp?s=pc&srs=7082342011&ie=UTF8&qid=1495817489&sr=1-2&condition=used i even found it used for less.

but im going to switch to the pencil/pro soon since its been out for a while and people are saying its really good. when i tried it in the apple store with notability (i think that comes on those demo ipads)? it left a few tiny stray dots from palm rejection i think...with my current combo (mini2/disc stylus/goodnotes) there is a palm-rejection pad you can resize in the app so no stray dots.

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.

Thanks so much! It was a lovely photo to paint.

I use an app called procreate which is a great painting app and a stylus called the Musee Notier I did my first painting with my finger and it is very difficult. This stylus is nice because it has a more precise tip that moves smoothly across the glass and that allows you to hold the pen more naturally. There is no pressure-sensitivity, however, so that is a bit of a learning curve, but it's a good price. I recommend it.
