Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Meko (2nd Gen) Universal Touch Screen Stylus Pen Bundle with 6 Replacement Tips - iPhone, iPad, and More by John Larsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Daughter likes it for tablet accessory

I'm a mom who plays jigsaw puzzles with kids and fingers (especially wet/sweaty ones) aren't the best "tool" for such games, so I got myself a pen ordered and children. I ordered this MEKO 2-in-1 Precision Series and another brand from Friendly Swede. Another brand only has a crochet head and their crochet heads are larger and purely for play so I bought these as well because my daughter loves to draw on her phone and she needs an accurate tip. So while I prefer the Friendly Swede Stylus for gaming, my daughter still loves the MEKO (both for gaming and drawing). Why? I think it's because we have different habits/playstyles. Here is a detailed comparison of both and I hope this can help people choose the one that suits their needs better. This is for gaming purposes only. The friendly Swedes are very light, while the MEKOs appear more robust and heavier. Weight matters if you use the pen for 30 minutes or more. MEKO also has a thicker non-slip rubber handle that makes it more comfortable. But this feature is really irrelevant due to the difference in weight. I can hold the friendly Swede for a long time and don't feel anything. The MEKO has two heads, one is the exact target side, and since the Friendly Swede doesn't have that feature, let's focus on that. knitted head. The friendly Swede's head is much plumper and softer, while the MEKO's is smoother and tougher. So again, it's a personal preference. I personally prefer the "Friendly Swede" option because I find it takes a lot less effort. Sometimes when I need to move very quickly around the screen, the friendly Swede can do it effortlessly, while with MEKO I had to press harder to keep in touch and it slowed me down. However, my daughter doesn't seem to have a problem with MEKO and may have gotten used to playing with more effort from the start. Now let's talk about precision nozzles. My daughter loves it as she can draw details on her drawing and she said it is easy to use. In terms of durability, as I've used a different brand a lot more, I can't comment on that much. My daughter has been enjoying her MEKO for 7 months with no problems, but she doesn't use it that much. I find the stylus to be solidly built and of very good quality. One more note: I've used it on iPhones and a Samsung tablet and it worked well on both. While I prefer another brand of games I still give this one 5 stars for what it's made for, great price and great quality. Yes, I forgot to mention that they are also very well packaged. This is great value for money!
