Unique Stylus for iPad & Capacitive Tablets

Updated on April 7, 2013

Unique styluses for Tablets

Here are my favorite styluses for drawing, handwriting, and working on the tablet. A stylus can greatly improve the tablet computing experience. Reduce your frustration and minimize mistakes will greatly increase your accuracy.

There are many reasons to use a stylus. If you do a lot of work on your tablet, you may find that it enables you to type faster and work faster. If you do artwork on your tablet, having one is pretty much a necessity.

The good news is that there are a lot of cool ones to choose from. On this page, I've featured both chunky and fine tip ones, a brush-like one, a stylus and pen combo, one that goes on a keychain and more.

These Styluses are for Capacitive Screens

If the pad of your finger works on the screen, but the fingernail does not, you have a tablet with a capacitive screen.

The styluses on this page will work with your tablet!

It can be used to navigate the user interface and to play games and do just about everyone a regular stylus would do.

This stylus has a flat, clear plastic tip with a red dot in the center to indicate exactly where the tip is. It's unlike all other styluses I've seen. As the below video demonstrates, it's very easy to use. It looks and feels like a holding a pen. It even has a clip so you can attach it to your shirt pocket or to a folder and there is a hole in the top so you can put a lanyard to tie it to something too.
