What do you think of this Stylus or has anyone use this one before?
Meko stylus
I liked both because it has a fine tip as a cloth ball. Idk I just was wondering if anyone used it.
I have and love my razer phone. If I didn't have it already however, I would think about the ROG. That's the one with all the peripherals, right? It seems they're setting up for a future with this.
Razer was good to start the trend of higher refresh rates but, as you can find in this subreddit with slow software updates, many users feel abandoned. As if these phones were a gimmick to get ahead in sales and now that that's done, move on to the next sale gimmick. Like when I ordered a new screen protector from Razer (and a controller for my phone), it came with caffeinated water flavor packets that apparently they make now, for gaming.
Anyway, I've been researching here the past little bit. Phones that can use real styluses have to be built for that. Most Android phones aren't and you need a large surface area so the phone registers it as a finger. So those styluses with the big rounded tip are what you need, or the ones with a smaller tip surrounded by a clear disk.

The stylus tip is huge, I got this off the Force forum a while back and it’s a life-changer.
This is a great set with various sizes of tips.

Ones like the one attached with circle at the end seem to work well on Samsung A tablets and Fire Tables. https://www.amazon.com/MEKO-Universal-Precision-Capacitive-Replacement/dp/B00N1BRWLA/ref=sxin_15_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.dfb69b7f-0c77-4124-a5d0-05887808d5d6%3Aamzn1.sym.dfb69b7f-0c77-4124-a5d0-05887808d5d6&crid=35OHPG6NDA4V8&cv_ct_cx=generic%2Bstylus%2Bpen%2Bwith%2Bcircle&keywords=generic%2Bstylus%2Bpen%2Bwith%2Bcircle&pd_rd_i=B00N1BRWLA&pd_rd_r=957e17cb-54f0-47f6-b446-e4c2b37b6b93&pd_rd_w=FcMry&pd_rd_wg=2wuq1&pf_rd_p=dfb69b7f-0c77-4124-a5d0-05887808d5d6&pf_rd_r=17N82DBK58JGY5NDQZB4&qid=1670262163&sprefix=generic%2Bstylus%2Bpen%2Bwith%2Bcircle%2Caps%2C79&sr=1-20-bb4842f6-7db0-410d-8e58-ed475f3f7b54-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyU1VKTTYzNDFTTUpNJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMDgwNzQwMUJLUzBHRlM1RzJTRCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjg4ODg1RUlWNVlRMkZZOVBFJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3Bfc2VhcmNoX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1
im pretty sure i use this one here: https://www.amazon.com/MEKO-Universal-Precision-Capacitive-Replacement/dp/B00N1BRWLA/ref=sr\_1\_4?dchild=1&keywords=meko+universal+stylus&qid=1627514323&s=electronics&sr=1-4
it works great - and is so cheap too. granted, im an incoming freshmen at Berkeley but i used this my entire senior year of high school since my school gave everyone ipads and it worked awesome
edit: had linked the wrong stylus, but this link is confirmed to be the one i use
I have had the Meko 2 in 1 Precision recommended to me in previous conversations about winter stylus use. It has a traditional soft end and a precision end, which is a sort of hard disc that glides across the screen on a ball-joint pivot. A traditional soft rubber stylus tip will eventually wear through, so this precision tip sounds like a way to mitigate that eventuality. https://www.amazon.com/MEKO-Precision-Stylus-Bundle-Replaceable/dp/B00N1BRWLA
I got this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1BRWLA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share but I actually use the non precise end to greater effect. I had about 4 masterful casts prior to purchase, now I'm up to around 50
Yea man, simple usage, let me recommend you this one

I bought these for my son, so he can use one here and take one to his mom's. Like these because it's got both fine and broad tips, so if he wants to draw and scroll, it's a breeze. Idk how much they'd be after conversion and shipping, but hopefully they work out in your use case.
Happy holidays and hope you're plenty warm out there!
The Long...
Older touch screens that used styluses were restive touch, which has two layers separated by a gap and registers touch when the top layer is physically pressed and connects with the bottom layer. Fingers, styluses, marker caps, all worked. A thin tipped stylus just offered greater precision than your finger.
These days pretty much all screens use capacitive touch, which has no functional gap between layers, and which registers touch by sending a small current from the screen through the touching object, back to the screen. No physical “push” is necessary since it’s all electrical. Cheap screens typically emit voltage from the edges or corners of the screen and can only detect touch at a single point. Multi touch uses a layer of transparent conductors and sensors that can independently detect touch covering the entire screen.
The Short...
The touch object you use on modern screens needs to be a conductor of electricity. You can get wicked cheap conductive styluses that will work on pretty much any screen. You can also make your own stylus using any of a wide variety of household materials.
...or a hot dog.
Oh, that’s very cool. I may have to give those a try once I wear out all my spare caps.
EDIT: from the US store, best of both worlds.
