GoSmart Stylus for an iPad and Other Touch Screen Devices (Red)

GoSmart Stylus for an iPad and Other Touch Screen Devices
  • Teflon-coated tip to give a nice smooth feel, even with protective film
  • Spring tip allows wide 90° working angle and reduce impact noise
  • Body is constructed from solid aerospace-grade aluminum
  • Two rare earth magnets for attachment to iPad2 & the New iPad

I have tried many styluses including the Jot Pro, which until this came out was my absolute favourite. The GoSmart FEELS much more precise than any other stylus I have used, even if technically it isn't, just purely because you can see right to the centre of the tip and it feels so smooth on the screen.

The Jot Pro has a greater range of movement (i.e. allows greater angles of lean) but the plastic disc just adds that little bit more bulk so it really depends on writing style.

The build quality of the GoSmart is not as good as the Jot Pro (the plastic end cap is pretty poor compared to the rest of the stylus and the little magnets [I assume?] protrude ever so slightly from the side) which make it look a little cheap compared to the great industrial design of the Jot Pro.

However, if you want a precision stylus for a capacitive touch screen device, I strongly recommend this GoSmart. There are active styluses out there (I have the Cregle iPen) but they take some getting used to and only work with certain apps.

Well balanced, good quality pen. Precise, practical and responsive. Was initially concerned about the tip and how it would hold up over time, but no issue so far. For anyone using a stylus on the iPad for writing, sketching or painting this is a great upgrade from the standard capacitative, broad tip stylus.
