I still haven't used it very much, but when I do it doesn't pick up everything I write. Not sure if i'm doing something wrong or what, but my $5 Targus stylus with a fat rubber tip seems to work better. Pretty disappointing.

Many of my tips, within a very short time are fraying to the point of distraction. My original stylus was the best thing I've ever purchased, but these tips seem to be of lesser quality than the first ones! Sorry!

I bought one on the premise that it would work as a stylus.  It actually works as a very thin, fuzzy, poorly-built fingertip.  My experience goes back to Handsprings and Sony Clie devices, so in my experience, a stylus is a precise tool.  This is a fuzzy tip glued onto a stylus.  As such, it doesn't always read accurately, if at all.  It doesn't work well on the new G1 phone from T-Mobile/HTC either (capacitive screen as well).  If I had to guess, I'd say the tips will start falling off in three months.

Ultimately, a decent idea but not a precision tool, and not a recommended purchase.  The only good points are the clip (for iPhone/iTouch only) and the build of the actual stylus.  If they could develop a better, smaller tip, this would be a good pick.

I expected this stylus from Amazon to work well.  It is mediocre at best.  It has practically no precision and the feel of the balloony tip makes for inconsistent applied pressure.  Get one of the pens with the disk on the end, I tried it and it is exactly what you want.

These stylus' are shorter and fatter than most stylus'/pens which makes them hard to use. On top of that they stick to the iPad screen and do not flow smoothly over the surface. Spend the extra money for a better stylus!

I purchased this for my wife for Christmas, and she bought me a different stylus (stylus/pen combination). I expected this to be much better than the one I received (which was a very inexpensive stylus) but the opposite is true.

It is not as effective as I had hoped (movement is just not recognized sometimes), and I've tried it on a Kindle Fire, Galaxy Nexus, iPod Touch, and Nexus 7 with consistent results; perhaps it works better on an iPad?

On the plus side, if your device has a headphone jack, this stylus will be hard to lose.

I bought this hopeful that it would answer all of my fine tipped stylus prayers. I was wrong. There is a clear disc that you place on the screen of your device. I was hopeful that it would come off, but it doesn't and it's kind of annoying when dust gets under it and you can hear it scraping while writing in a meeting.  It also breaks extremely easy. You also have to unscrew the pen in the middle and then rescrew it together to make it an appropriate size. When recapping in a hurry, it is easy to break the clear disc tip off. The stylus still skips letters when you are writing fast and it doesn't make things much more legible. It is not like writing with a pen. I suggest saving the money and buying an external keyboard for your device.

Already, a rubber tip on one stylus is crooked and about to come off.  I've had this problem with every one I've bought elsewhere, but not so soon.

I was expecting this stylus to feel similar to writing with a pen but it does not.  I was disappointed overall but it works nicely to select and tap items.

I have some hand issues that make holding most conventional short-skinny-pen (or worse, pencil-stub) type styli pretty uncomfortable - seems like no one is working off the many adaptive pen designs for a really hand-friendly stylus - so I was pretty excited about this finger stylus. It comes so close to being great and then misses the target. The tip is a thin-walled bubble that squashes flat with little pressure, nearly doubling the diameter of the contact point. I needed more accuracy for tapping on my 7" screen but this seemed to mush down and "fat-finger" nearly as much as my actual finger. There is also a metal ring around this bubble, and if you are not careful with swiping motions, this ring can come into contact with the screen because the rather flabby tip pulls over to the side while it flattens. (I can see it tearing pretty easily because of that.) If this little finger ring had a firmer - and thus more accurate and less flimsy - tip, I'd be exchanging the medium size for small and giving it a solid four stars. It's getting two stars instead of one because I think it's a very good idea that just doesn't quite pan out in execution, and the snap-ring to carry it around attached to the phone or tablet is a nifty addition that shows thoughtfulness on the part of the manufacturers. (Oh, and definite props for a clamshell package that didn't have to be hacked apart.) It would be fantastic if the manufacturer could follow the example of a few other stylus manufacturers and offer two versions, the mushy tip (since some people do seem to prefer that) and a firmer tip.

Sizing note: I definitely don't have slender fingers for an adult female (ring size 7-8), but the ring was just loose enough on my thumb to slip to one side or the other on swipes/drags, and hopelessly large for either my index or middle fingers which is where I had intended to use it. I would say it would fit thumbs for an average-to larger-handed woman or slender-fingered man, but fingers only on small-to-average adult male hands. Those with big hands would probably do well to special-order the large size. The widest part of the oval (inside) measured just a tad over 3/4", maybe 13/16", and about 1/2" across in the other direction, measured as it comes from the package with no stretching or compressing.

I used to like it. After about a year a layer or coating came off the stylus tip. Now it drags on the screen with too much friction for my taste. I see no way to replace the rubber tip.

Now, the cartridge holding mechanism up inside the barrel does not allow full insertion of the cartridge. I can no longer use it as a pen.

You'd think something this expensive would stand up to years of use and have a way to replace the tip. Anyone want an expensive stylus that doesn't work very well?

I used goodnotes app with this pen.  It works better than other stylus pen I have tried on the iPad.  Still  it takes a while to get used to a stylus pen for taking notes.  It is nowhere near the smoothness and sturdy feeling when writing on paper.  It is useful to draw diagrams and make edits of PDFs.  I am beginning to think that the support for a stylus must be provided by Apple.  The iPad screen surface was just not design for stylus pen.  Third party solutions would never be as good the pen input of Samsung tablets and phones.

 I  tried to use the product to take notes for meetings for 3 months, but eventually I went back to my regular notebook and fountain pen.

I bought this for my iPad Pro in hopes that it would be a cheaper alternative to the Apple Pencil. Unfortunately, this wasn't what I was looking for, so it ended up being returned. The stylus mimics a finger more than an actual "pen," so I didn't get enough precision to be able to write legibly with this stylus. I had to erase and re-write most of what I wrote with this stylus.

I gave the product two stars because it seems to be made of great quality. It has a good weight to it, comes with replacement parts, and worked perfectly fine as a touch-feature stylus. It just didn't meet my expectations as a writing tool. I ended up purchasing the Apple Pencil, figuring that it's worth the investment for something I will write with on a near daily basis.

The stylus is very cheap feeling. The rubber tip is so cheap that the stylus does not engage and move items around on my tablet screen. Also, if the stylus is put at an angle, there is a real risk of scratching the tablet surface because the metal rim is easily exposed. I end up just using my finger instead. This set of three did not cost too much, but I would recommend buying something sturdier.

(I bought some cheap stylus' on eBay and they didn't seem to write as well as I hoped. The touch was not very sensitive. I was hoping to find a new stylus that was easier to take notes with in class.)
This stylus is Not "as sensitive as your finger". No better than the cheapest stylus' out there in terms of sensitivity. The emphasis on ultra sensitive is misleading. I guess it's fine for the 6 bucks or whatever.

Not the most responsive set of styluses. I've tested it on an HP stream 7 and an Iphone 5S. The rubber ends of the stylus are just to large for smaller devices, which reduces it's pointing accuracy drastically. I'd have to recommend you look elsewhere for a better stylus.

Looking for a stylus that could be used for taking notes. This definitely is not the one.
