Many have heard of such a thing as a stylus. What it is? What is it for? Everything is quite simple if you deal with this issue. In addition, having found out what the stylus is for, what it is, who can come in handy, it will become easier with the decision: is it worth buying at all.
Mobile pen
Perhaps this is how you can characterize this item. Indeed, outwardly the stylus is very similar to a pen. Only now it does not have ink to write on paper. But there is a handy tip that you can press on touch screens. A kind of replacement for a finger when using a smartphone or tablet. That's what the stylus is for. What is it - we have already figured out. It remains to be seen who might need it.
Is he really needed?
Of course, most owners of smartphones, tablets and other gadgets with touch screens are used to using them without any auxiliary devices. But still, there are those who will definitely need such a thing as a stylus (we have already found out what it is). For example, girls with very long nails. Most often theyhave difficulty using touch screens. Due to the large length of the nails, it is problematic to touch the display with the fingertips. And sometimes there is an incorrect pressing, which is also unpleasant. In addition, for those who need to draw on the screen of a tablet or smartphone for work, a stylus may come in handy. For the iPad, for example, there are many applications that are useful for designers and other creative people. And drawing with a finger is not very convenient. The iPad stylus may not be required if you use the gadget in the usual way: for surfing the Internet, playing games, chatting. And then, some gamers note that it is inconvenient to perform some actions with a finger. And the stylus can fix it. In addition, it will be useful for those who do not want to once again stain the tablet screen with fingerprints.
Price
It varies greatly depending on the manufacturer and brand. So, for example, a plastic stylus with a rubber tip, the price of which does not exceed one hundred rubles, is most often the product of Chinese "handicraft" craftsmen. The tip is usually very thick, hardly distinguishable from the fingertip. It will be inconvenient and impractical to use such a stylus for a phone with a small screen size. But for a large tablet, it is suitable. For example, for games or surfing the Internet. Yes, and typing messages or text on the touch keyboard will be much easier. There are also more expensive, stylish and comfortable styluses on sale, the price of which is not an example higher - about 1000-2000 rubles apiece. They are usually purchased asgift for a birthday or any other occasion. These styluses look really presentable.
Tip
This is one of the most important points when choosing. So, a sharp enough, but at the same time safe for capacitive touch screens, the tip will be convenient for those who are going to do a lot of drawing or writing handwriting on the display. At the same time, the thinner the tip, the smaller the smartphone or tablet can be. It is noteworthy that on the iPad Mini, users prefer to use styluses similar to those produced by Dagi. The transparent sharp tip not only does not harm the coating of touch screens, but also allows you to see exactly which point will be pressed completely. Not to mention that on a small screen, a thin stylus is much more convenient to use.
Worth buying?
Every tablet or smartphone user sooner or later asks this question. Those who do not want to spend a lot of money on a thing that may not be useful later should purchase a budget option for testing. Of course, cheap Chinese counterparts will not allow you to appreciate the usefulness of the stylus in all its glory, but still make life a little easier. At least in cases where you need to type text on the virtual keyboard. Her keys are usually ugly small, sometimes it is not possible to put letters into words correctly the first time. Definitely not worth buying a stylus for someone who uses their smartphone or tablet for normal user tasks: accessing the Internet, chatting and playing games. And thosewho tends to constantly lose small items: pens, pencils and other stationery. There is a risk that the stylus will be lost in the first week of use.
