Whats your accent?

[@nayamun4378]

Hi 👋 🙂 I just wanted to ask...i thought all these pens have tips that are made of the same material as the ones with the black top which is larger and therefore not so precise? Which is like skin. I basically thought that these stylus pens are the same as the touch pens just the tip is much smaller, which makes it more precise. Isn’t there a way how to create such a pen yourself if you’d use the black material?

It's all about the money, and they want you to upgrade everything on a cycle that I just can't afford.

I love this. I was hoping you would end up choosing styli similar to the 2 I use. I use the Adonit mini\jot pro 2, since its release and Targus styli with the blobby end. Ive used them for around 7 years and never found anything better for drawing on iphone or even the ipad before the pencil came out. People ask about accuracy. Similar to drawing traditionally, you can make lines without looking because you are used to it. WIth styli on iphone its the same thing. You get used to the offset and can predict every line.

[@delfinap8071]

Hi! I have a question about the Honsky stylus. Does it smoothly go on your screen or was it a little bit too ‘rubbery’? And do you maybe know if the Honsky works on an iPhone 7+ too? Btw thank you for this video, it’s very good and clear!

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

Thank you Karin, that was really useful! I hope that you can return/refund all of the others that didn't work. I had one of those styluses with the disk that I tried on my phone (before the Procreate Pocket app came out) but I think I gave it away because I really didn't like it. I bought a lot of styluses before there were so many fancy ones with electronics. I found the best and most accurate were the ones that have like a woven metal for the tip. They still have the spongy stuff underneath, but the woven metal fabric touching the screen was noticeably better and more accurate with far less skipping (where you draw a line and it's not continuous there are parts that are missing).

[@iPadLettering]

Thank you Donna!! So happy to hear you found it useful 😄The pretty pink stylus in my video has the woven metal tip!! I might keep that one actually, because it's very prettty. But yes, hopefully I can return the useless pens 🤞🏼
