I’ve tried a ton of brands in hopes of finding the perfect stylus for pad. I can tell you that the absolute best I’ve used is the Wacom Bamboo Solo (generation 4, not the previous models). Best by a long shot. Super smooth, super fast, and very comfortable even when playing for hours.

Here’s the down side. They have replaceable tips and I wear them out super quickly. So I’ve found that for me it’s worth buying replacement tips often, rather than using a shittier, but more durable stylus. That being said, I don’t like that this is the case, and would only recommend it if you don’t mind a semi regular (though cheap) price tag. Also it’s important to keep in mind that the first tip that comes with it seems to be crappier quality (just less durable) than the replacement tips, probably on purpose. Just don’t assume that the rate at which it wears out will be quite that short in general.

The next best thing for me is the Adonit Mark, but honestly it’s not even close. It’s very durable and solidly built (have never had to replace it), but it’s not nearly as smooth and my hand starts to get sore from the grip I use after a while.

The amazon brand carbon fiber mesh styluses (stylii??) are pretty crappy imo. The others I’ve tried from amazon and eBay are junk (both brand names and generic in bulk).

Buy a Bamboo Solo and see if you like it. If you LOVE it, you’ll happily deal with tip replacement. If you just like it, don’t bother and look elsewhere.

Hope this helps!!
