Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Stylus Pens for Touch Screens (6 Pcs) - 2 in 1 Fiber Tip Capacitive Stylus for iPad, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy - High Sensitivity with Extra Replaceable Tips by Russell Robertson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Fragile, quick-release tips, poor sensitivity.

The product looks very professional. From that perspective alone, this is probably one of the best stylus pens I've ever had. However, the tip, which in my opinion is the most important part of any pen, lies in the fact that this product lags far behind other similar products. My theory is that in trying to create a thinner-tipped needle, the designers used finer threads for the braid than are typically used in standard products. This of course wears out and breaks much quicker than standard products. There are a small number of spare tips in the pack, but given their fragility, it's almost useless. I have replaced the tips several times and within a day or two they are discolored. The next day you can often see the fibrous web dissolving. Over the course of a week, unraveling can progress to the point where holes become visible. In fact, the tip can only last 2-3 weeks. Then, regarding the poor sensitivity cited by several other reviewers, the electronics' basic claim that capacitance is proportional to surface area. This means that a fine-tipped passive pen is inherently less sensitive, simply because of reduced capacitance. To me, given my experience with many other similar fiber stitch pens, these shortcomings are unacceptable. I have used several products with non-replaceable tips and most last more than 6 months before the tip shows any signs of wear (fibers or holes). I think I have several of these products that are still working like new a year later. My interest in this product was purely fine, but the implementation of the design was unsuccessful. From this it can be concluded that this is NOT a high-quality product in the long run. I certainly wouldn't buy more of these or replacement tips and I strongly encourage any interested buyer to look elsewhere. There are many excellent products on the market.
