Review on MEKO(TM) (2 Pcs)[2 In 1 Precision Series] Disc Stylus/Styli Bundle With 4 Replaceable Disc Tips by Greg Wilkerson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm drawing again!

In the glory days of the Nintendo Miiverse feature on the Wii U and 3DS consoles, I drew extensively in the Art Academy games for those consoles and published my work on Miiverse. Miiverse closed down a few months ago and I have a few friends and followers who are asking me to keep posting art. In short, it became a pain; I had to transfer files between multiple hardware devices to publish my work on other websites and services. Eventually I stopped drawing, apart from the occasional paper doodle. An artist friend of mine inspired me to try drawing on a tablet. I've tried using the tiny stylus that comes with my LG Stylo 2, but it's too small for comfortable use for long periods of time. I have a marker pen, but it's very difficult to draw precisely with it. These Meko stylus pens work great. I was very careful with the disc at the end of the fine tip and really didn't like putting the disc in full contact with the screen, but the touchscreen only activates the center point of the disc, so it actually helps me draw smoother lines with more confidence. There is also a felt-tip pen at the other end if I want to quickly make a few rough sketches or color in large areas. I'm still experimenting with different drawing/drawing apps, but I've used three different apps and this pen worked well in all of them. I'm only using one of these pens for a few days so I can't comment on their durability but I think these pens will last a very long time with proper care. .

Pros
  • Quality build
Cons
  • Not as good as advertised
