Review on 🖊️ Bargains Depot 5mm High-Sensitivity Fiber Tip Capacitive Stylus Dual-tip Universal Touchscreen Pen for Tablets & Cell Phones with 8 Extra Replaceable Fiber Tips (Set of 4, Black/Blue/Purple/Red) by Ryan Foles

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you already use a fiber/mesh stylus, you'll love it!

**Edit: after 8 months of use** So I used each of the four pens that come with this purchase for about eight months. While I still love this product and wouldn't use my phone or car touchscreen without it, I found one issue that's a little disappointing. Each pen has a snap cap that protects the tip when not in use and a pocket clip (both assembled and secured with a screw). on the cap). However, over time, the screw on the cover will loosen and loosen to the point where it is no longer reliable. Once it fails to tighten, both the cap and clip begin to fall off and get lost between the driver's seat and that hellish boom chasm that only a car wash vacuum can suck up! I have three with caps and clips that no longer screw tightly. While neither interferes with use, the cap protects the unused tip from damage in a pocket or other place it is carried. A friend suggested applying a dab of clear nail polish before unscrewing the cap that secures the pocket clip. Nail polish is probably a good glue. who knew Although I haven't bought a clear nail polish yet. tbh, the choice alone is huge. I mean really - is a $1.99 bottle of clear nail polish okay, or is a $10.99 bottle significantly better than glue? Isn't nail polish sold as an alternative to tape, is it? It's not particularly expensive, I'll go broke and make another purchase mainly because I've run out of both nib sizes. I usually carry the stylus in my pocket, so it's understandable that the friction of the material could cause the exposed tip with holes to splinter or detach. Observant users may find a better place to carry or store the stylus that eliminates this problem. Alternatively, if you are having the same problem with a loose cap/clip but don't have the means to buy a new pen every 8-10 months, try putting a thin thread of Teflon tape on the loose cap and clip and shut see if that offers a safe solution. both ends are always closed, but then you have to stow a cap when using the stylus and it inevitably gets lost. I still stand by my five star rating for this product. Nov 2020: I've been using a rubber-tipped stylus for my phone and tablet for years and keep buying new ones because they wear out quickly or the rubber falls apart or gets clogged with pocket lint and screen dust. I was so happy when I finally discovered the mesh fiber tip stylus and I can tell you that using this longer stylus-en experience is at a new level. I mainly use them for my recently purchased Samsung Galaxy S20 5G. Samsung made this model with a Gorilla Glass screen, and for that reason I don't plan on putting a screen protector on it. Also, the back cover I bought has enough outside edge so the phone never lands on the screen if I drop it on concrete. I have read many reviews claiming that this product does not work on a phone or tablet. I suspect these users have a screen protector that is preventing it from sliding smoothly, or maybe needs to be replaced, idk. I found these pens to glide easily across the screen on my Samsung S20. However, when I tried to use it on a friend's iPhone with an old screen protector, it just didn't work. Another buddy with an iPhone 11 Max, without a screen protector, had no issues with this stylus and was so delighted with it that he's now bought a pair himself. The best feature of a mesh-tipped stylus compared to a rubber tip, this fibrous mesh doesn't get sticky or stretch even on a dirty screen. What sets this pen apart from most I've used is the length. Its 5.5 inches are comfortable to hold, just like any pen or pencil. There is a small fibrous tip at one end; the other end has a larger point and, like most ballpoint pens, a cap that snaps securely onto the unused end. The clasp at the end also has a retaining clip for your bag, purse, backpack to avoid losing or digging. I clipped it to the front of my pants pocket or shirt pocket and it holds securely yet is easy to remove. Another innovation in this kit is the ability to remove a worn tip with the new fiber tip included in the kit. Each pack of four needles contains four small and four large replacement tips. To be honest I can't tell much of a difference between the two sizes, which is even better because I have 8 new nibs and each pen comes with 2 nibs already attached. There is a silver screw cap on each end of the pen. which fixes the tip of the fiber. To replace the tip, simply unscrew the silver cap, remove the worn tip, replace with a new fiber tip, and screw the silver cap back on. Also, I believe the seller also has a list to buy new fiber tips separately. I can't imagine the pen will ever break, it's very durable. These pens are innovative, well-designed, durable and comfortable to use. If you've used a rubber-tipped pen that drags across the screen over time, becomes sticky, or the rubber snaps when you need it most, you'll love these articles from Bargains Depot. If it's important to you, it says "Made in China" on the packaging. "Also, I don't get any compensation for this review, I just think it's a great product!
