Switch seamlessly between touch screen and paper with a stylus pen. The capacitive stylus conducts bio-electricity from your hand to the screen, which is perfect for when your built-in organic styli (AKA your fingers) are in less than optimal condition. Avoid the complications that come with gloves, long nails, or sweaty palms by adding a stylus pen to your gear. As a bonus, it’ll keep your screen clean and free of fingerprint fog!

Note: A few of the styli listed here are non-capacitive, meaning that they're not compatible with iPads, iPhones, or other capacitive touch screen devices. However, they do work with the Nintendo DS, HTC Touch Diamond, and other devices with resistive (pressure-touch) screens. All non-capacitive styli are listed here.
