A Beautiful, Sensitive, Responsive Metallic Red Stylus,
Capacitive styluses are not all alike. Besides color, there are subtle differences in sensitivity, length, barrel size, weight, and attachment clips or lanyards. This beautiful BoxWave stylus, which is 4″ long (exclusive of the capacitive tip) is an excellent, responsive stylus.
Compared to other styluses that I tested, this BoxWave stylus is short, has a wide barrel (wider than a pencil but narrower than a pen), and is light in weight. I love the metallic red color, and the sensitivity and responsiveness of the capacitive tip. Because of the wider barrel, the tip is wider, and is not as accurate as some others for selecting small targets (e.g., links displayed in web browsers in tiny fonts). However, pinpoint accuracy isn’t important if you can enlarge the display on your touchscreen device. Because I have large hands, I would prefer a longer stylus, but the overall performance of this stylus makes up for what it lacks in length.
This stylus has a pocket clip, and a removable lanyard with a plastic tip that can be plugged into an earphones outlet to attach it to a touchscreen device. Besides this stylus, I tested the MiniSuit Universal Capacitive Stylus Pen, the BoxWave Slimline Kindle Fire Stylus, the Targus Stylus for Apple iPad, the AmazonBasics Stylus for Touchscreen Devices, and the rooCASE Capacitive (Red) Stylus for Apple iPad 2 / Amazon Kindle Fire Android Tablet. My favorite is the AmazonBasics Stylus, because of its 4-1/4″ length, slim barrel, light weight, and excellent sensitivity. However, I also rate this stylus at 5 stars (“I love it”), because I like it nearly as well as the AmazonBasics stylus. Another good choice is the very slightly less sensitive rooCase Stylus.
In case you’re wondering, as I was, what a “capacitive” stylus is, it is a human interface device (e.g., a mouse) that uses “capacitive sensing” to measure changes of position on a touchscreen. It works just like a human finger on a touchscreen device, and you can often get more accurate navigation using a stylus. Wikipedia has good articles on capacitive sensing and capacitive devices.

|An unexpected treasure!,
On a whim, I purchased this stylus to use on my kindle fire since I’m now having to type with an on screen keyboard. Wow! What a difference this makes in the speed of my typing. The screen stays cleaner, as well, since you’re not sliding greasy fingers over it. It’s also useful if you’re a game player…no more “oops!”, wrong answer because of fat fingers. My husband uses it on his cell phone screen. We both agree, well worth the price….an unexpected treasure!

|Does All It Is Supposed to do at a Very Good Price,
This is my first time using a capacitive stylus, so unlike the first reviewer I have nothing to compare this one to. I bought it prior to the arrival of my new Kindle Fire, mainly because of the price and the color. When using the stylus, the touch screen on the Fire responds instantly and without need to repeat “taps”. My iTouch is a bit less responsive to it, but I did not purchase it to use with the iTouch, so not a problem. It has a good balanced weight and I tend to hold it in my hand even while reading. Clips easily onto the case or the end inserts into the earphone jack. Very pleased with this, especially given the $10 price tag.
