We’ve been asked a few times to recommend a good stylus. We did a quick survey, and here are the ones that are most popular around here:
1. The Cosmonaut. This is probably the coolest and most unorthodox of the bunch. It's a thick marker-like stylus that doesn't look very wieldy, but it turns out to be quite comfortable for illustration and writing on the iPad. The shape makes you use it more like a whiteboard marker, which may be more appropriate for the iPad, as you tend not to rest your palm on the screen as much.
2. Bamboo. This is one of the better pen-like styluses. It has a narrower tip than most. It is closest in weight/feel to a standard pen.
3. Boxwave. This is the most inexpensive stylus of the lot, but it works great. It’s shorter than most, which also makes it more portable.
4. Adonit Jot. This stylus has a hard tip, which allows for a finer level of precision. However, the downside is it makes a fairly loud tapping sound each time you write.
If you just a need a stylus for casual use, the Boxwave is a good economical choice. However, if you tend to write or draw on your iPad for more than a few minutes at a time, as we do, it’s worth investing in a stylus that fits you best.
