Once upon a time, smartphones and tablets came with a stylus that you pretty much had to use in order to effectively use the device. I remember back when I had my original XDA smartphone running Windows Mobile it was pretty difficult to get away without using the stylus unless you had very slim fingers. Times have changed and the user interface on such devices are optimised for touch input using a finger.
However, sometimes a stylus is still best.
If you’re looking to do anything related to calligraphy or drawing then a stylus will help provide the fine control you may require. You just can’t use any old pointer though as the tip has to be compatible with capacitive screens that are now commonplace instead of the resistive screens of years gone by.
One good stylus that should do the trick is made by Wacom and, if you do your homework, you could probably find it a little cheaper. While you might be able to find other styluses with a finer tip the Wacom stylus might do the trick for most particularly if you can control stroke size in the software you’re using.
