Say what a stylus is for
Tell whether a pen for your tablet is worth the money.
A stylus is a pen the glass can feel. It does what a fingertip does, at the width of a point.
Nothing needs one. Signing, drawing and tapping small print are far easier with one.
Key points
- A stylus is a pen the glass can feel
- Signing, drawing and small print are where it earns its place
What to remember
- The pen is for jobs where exactness matters.
- A stylus is a finer fingertip, and that is plenty.
Try this
Write your name on your own tablet with one finger. That wobble is what a stylus removes.
