Stylus kit? for teacher/wife (Read 364 times)

Randy Robertson WR Noob Offline WR Rocks! Posts: 4	Stylus kit? for teacher/wife 05/08/12 at 18:49:49 Calling all pen guys. I need to make an I-pad stylus or stylus/pen as a gift for my wife (I want to get it right the first time). What stylus kit do you like most?

I played with some cheapies from Amazon as source for the tips --- but since CUSA put kits on the market, those are easy to use and price is reasonable.

Just got some from CSUSA, and the tips are more solid than the ones on the others I have seen. They don't compress as much, so the metal edge is less likely to contact the screen and damage it. Do not forget to order the reusable Compression Bushing that prevents damage to the tip when you assemble them.

In addition to the ones Ken showed, I got the ones that convert any slimline pen to a stylus.

They have each style available in Gold, Chrome, and Gun Metal.

So far i've made 15 of them and everytime someone touches one they compliment how it feels in their hand and how the tip "Isn't squishy" I made one for myself awhile back for use on our Ipad and its response time and screen accuracy are MUCH better than the one we bought from Best Buy. Great Product

(squishy leads to premature failure of the rubber) I haven't ordered one yet, so can't honestly say how good the new ones are. I am also not very impressed with the one I got from woodcraft.
