Review on Granarbol Stylus Pen: Rechargeable 🖊️ Active Fine Point Digital Stylist for iPad/iPhone/Tablets by Rudy Santos

My fingers are very sensitive to touch screens, so most of the time I prefer to use a stylus. I've found that a regular soft-tipped stylus isn't as responsive as an active stylus and tends to wear out and touch the screen after a while, meaning it needs to be replaced frequently. I decided to try this active stylus for several reasons: It's USB C (primary) - Came in black (a huge plus) - 20 hours of continuous use The stylus works, but that's why it got 3 stars. - In the best case I get 8 hours of continuous use. It seems to charge in about an hour, but during that time I'm forced to use an idle stylus. I would expect at least 12 hours of non-use throughout the day. Especially with the claimed 20 hours of continuous use. I don't understand at all. That means I need at least 2 active styluses to use them all day, which doubles the cost. I wish I had bought the cheaper white version (the white was on sale. I went for the black at the regular price.) - The tip started to wear out after about a week and a half of use. It's very little of it and I hardly noticed it. It's not a big deal other than worrying about how long the tooltips will actually work. Sometimes the tablet doesn't recognize them and it takes a bit of tweaking, usually adding a tilt or simply rotating it to make it responsive. However, this is much less than inactive tips and far superior to inactive tips. Now a few things I didn't like about the bottom of this pen but did notice: - I would have preferred it to be more of a pencil shape, flatter edges all around. I find that flat edges feel better in the hand and tend to have some grip with the flat side on one side, which isn't usually optimal for the pen's screen sensitivity. I also want the activation to be a toggle. with low-power standby mode when powering on versus powering off. But that's probably a feature of a slightly more expensive pen. I say that because it's easy to accidentally turn it off and I like the inactive shutdown after 5 minutes, but I wish it could detect it's in use and turn it back on. In general, if you buy white at retail price, it is affordable.
