THE PERFECT ALTERNATIVE TO THE FINGER-ON TABLET

These pens are great and almost perfect for my taste and use. I'm retired but active and probably sit on my tablet 4 hours or more a day, playing puzzles, games, social media, shopping, reading etc. For a man I feel like I have medium/normal sized hands. I find that most tablet styluses are too short. If I hold a regular pen with my fingertips about 1.5 inches from the tip, just like a pencil, the end of the pen rests on the crook of the thumb and not over it. I feel like I'm trying to lull my fingertip. Golf pencil, and when you sometimes sit on a tablet for hours, short styluses are impractical. In addition, the replacement rubber-tipped pen tips tighten even the cleanest tablet/phone screen. When the tablet/phone screen gets dirty during normal use, the rubber tip will stick, stick, and stretch. These microfiber tipped pens are perfect. The tips glide across even the dirtiest screen. When the tips get dirty or when I clean the screen, I dampen the microfiber cloth with screen cleaner and gently wipe the tip of the pen. Then I let it dry. The size of the microfiber tip is smaller than my fingertip, making it more accurate, even for my puzzle games, but still large enough to provide tactical feel and responsiveness when touching the screen like a fingertip. As with all pens, the tip breaks off and needs to be replaced. Simply unscrew the old nib and replace with a new one, unlike rubber tipped pens where you have to disassemble the nib to replace the rubber nib yourself. Length is the 3rd best seller for me. I like the long length and the way it feels in my hand like a regular new pencil. I know it's personal preference but I like the length and feel more comfortable using the tablet for long periods of time. The pen diameter is the same as my Samsung Galaxy S5. I had to operate the stylus holder on the tablet case a bit to accommodate the longer pen and it fits perfectly. I bought two packs of these pens with microfiber tips and extra tips. I keep extra pens by my bed, on my coffee table, and in my car so I don't have to take my pen out of my tablet case. I like the handle and recommend it.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.
