Then I got this new version in the mail. I wept. This thing is hands down the best capacitive stylus I've used. No contest. Though the tip is certainly a little more "squishily" than the original, it has a total 100% detection rate on my iPad 1G (with screen protector). That means that even the lightest press registers, and I've really gotta be honestthat makes *all* the difference in the world. Using my note app of choice, Note Taker HD, my writing speed is nearly doubled, and I have to actually press 1/2 as hard as with v1 (which, mind you, was quite good to begin with).
As a side note tooI truly applaud these guys' customer service too. The folks I've spoken to are a wonderful lot that are seriously approachable. Frankly, it caught me off guard because of how rare it is to see any company that cares about their customers. I congratulate you guysyou really have a great product and superior experience for the customer.I have the original touchtec pen, and have enjoyed it very much. It is silver, in the 7mm. For ladies with small hands, it would be just right. This time, I have the newly designed Touchtec II, in black, 9mm. It is a very attractive pen with a good weight, not too heavy, just right. Would look great in a shirt pocket, and ready to use on your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, or any of the other great tablets out there. Fingers are sometimes too large to select just the right options, and leave lots of fingerprints on your iPad. Not this stylus pen! And it is also a great ballpoint pen.
Ladies, if you want to carry it in your purse, it comes in a sturdy plastic case with a slot in which to secure the pen.
They thought of everything with this one. Buy it, you won't regret it!I've tried AYL, TouchTec, BoxWave and Jot styluses.
I love the headphone lanyard and weight of the BoxWave, but it's 1" shorter than a normal pen and has no way to write on paper.
I liked the AYL for weight and length, but it was a rollerball pen and wet ink can get messy...I prefer a true ballpoint.
For length, weight, and a ballpoint tip, I opted for the TouchTec Thin Twist instead. The thick twist is the width of a standard pen, but I like the thin pens better.
Now if they add a headset lanyard connector somehow, this will become my New Holy Grail Stylus!
HTH,
GAfter a lot of research and reviewing user comments I bought one of these. At first I was very happy. However after 3 weeks of heavy use the capacitive stylus stopped working it just wouldn't trigger the iPad (but my finger and other stylus worked fine). VERY disappointed. At least I could use it as a pen...but after 2 days of usage, the ink stopped flowing reliably. What a terrible quality stylus/pen. I sure wish I could get my money back. I gave it one star because there is no "0-star" rating.I have been searching for a usable stylus for over a year and have tried at least 7 different brands with no luck. The TouchTec is not only usable, it works incredibly well. And, as a bonus, the ink pen is a great pen on its own. So, save yourself the headache of ordering and trying other brands TouchTec is the way to go!
