Best iPad Stylus and Pen

The future of styluses is now with the new dagi stylus and all the nuances its arrival has generated. The basic advantages of using a stylus are still there. That is while your fingers may leave marks on the screen itself which will later ruin even the best movie the use of a stylus, or indeed of any other contact medium will leave the screen clean and clear. Furthermore while fingers do have the great advantage of being in two places at a time and are intuitive enough for a monkey to use on the screen of an iPad they have just about the same precision a chimp had when going after an ant hill. However the dagi stylus also brings in the additional benefit of actually seeing the thin lines you are drowing.

Although simple in design and idea the dagi stylus brings in a revolution in design. It does not end in thick rubber tip which would only draw thick lines and depending on the resolution could touch more than one button. It ends with a clear plastic platform with a protruding tip on the top. This brings in the additional advantage of being able to use the dagi stylus both as a normal, pogo stylus if you will but will also give you the added dexterity and precision of the tip. Once the idea was out there were several companies that tried to explore it to its full potential coming up with their own dagi stylus.

The HTC solution is the closest to the original design of the dagi stylus. It is slightly heavier than the pogo, we’re talking grams here, and is made of high quality, good design plastic. It fells much more comfortable than the pogo and although no official statement has been issued by the company the version 2 being sold now in the markets flows perfectly on the screen whether you are using it for its pogo like characteristic or for the increased precision dagi stylus feature.

Exploring the idea behind the dagi stylus but in a completely different design the iClooly Multi Touch Stylus has a double tip one on top of the other. As you remove the cap you will find a pen like tip that can be used intuitively just like a pen on paper. However if you want a firmer touch or line you can uncap the tip to find your normal stylus head. So although the design differs completely the effects are almost the same.

The BoxWave Capacitive iPad stylus explores the benefit of the dagi stylus in roughly the same way except that what you get is a pen like stylus which you need to uncap to use the thin, precise end while turning it around reveals that you can use it’s end to enjoy the abilities provided by normal stylus.

Imported from the phone technology but making its way to the ipad design there is the option of having a dagi stylus effect with the elago Retractable Stylus. It has a thin top, and it is no bigger than the palm of your hand. Granted that makes it a bit more difficult to use, but just as there are computer mice that are almost too small for the fingers to touch the two buttons simultaneously, so can the elago be applauded for its ability to fit anywhere, completely non-intrusive and yet delivering the precision of a dagi stylus and the functionality inherent to it.
