Review: MEKO 2-in-1 Stylus (2nd Gen)

[@toasterstrooder8628]

Your coverage of all these different styluses has been a life saver for me. I've been wanting to move beyond styluses that just use those thin, fragile rubber domes for years, and you have provided so much valuable coverage. Thank you for what you do.

[@jooao_guerra]

[@You2Nosey]

I got this during the Prime Day sale on Amazon for my iPad Pro 9.7. It feels good using Sketchbook app

[@natehope5575]

Darling In the franxx ad didn’t expect that

[@fartingoat4011]

For about the same price I was able to get one of those active styluses. It was 17 dollars for one and works quite well for sketching. For those who dont know what it is it's the stylus that kinda looks like an apple pencil but it has a little button to turn it on. No pairing needed, as soon as it's on, it works fine on all devices. The reason I said it was only good for sketching is because when you try to draw slow, diagonal lines, you get an unacceptable amount of jitter. Horizontal and vertical lines are good, and the diagonal line issue can be remedied by simply turning the page 45 degrees. It has a very fine point, and is quite accurate. I personally have an iPad air 1st and it works fine on that. I use it for sketching on the go, and if I can find a way to import drawings to my computer then I can ink them on my actual drawing tablet.

[@DByrd-AZiVideo]

Very good and helpful review!

[@MeowMeowKapow]

I had a stylus like this, and I thought I would like it a lot but the clear disk visually disturbed my ability to draw well, and there was also enough lag that it just didn’t seem to be as enjoyable as just drawing on paper for me....so I went back to using traditional mediums.

[@MyFictionalChaos]

Meow Meow Kapow that seems to be an issue with whether or not you are comfortable drawing digitally. As a former traditional artist, I can say that it takes some getting used to in order to be able to comfortably draw digitally.

[@MeowMeowKapow]

MyFictionalChaos ::shrugs:: as a former digital artist, I didn’t really find it any easier to us a stylus with the disc attachment than any other stylus. The ones without the disk seem to be slightly more accurate, like the ridiculously responsive Apple Pencil.

[@MyFictionalChaos]

Meow Meow Kapow that's not what i was saying but okay lol. Different styluses (slyli?) Are meant for different purposes, not that they are supposed to be "easier" than others. That's why I said (i assume) you couldnt get into digital art because you just can't deal with the stylus. Which is understandable because it is a different feeling than a traditional media

[@MeowMeowKapow]

MyFictionalChaos oh, I totally misinterpreted your comment actually, because I read your statement but not my own. =>.

[@sancantila8776]

Very good review. I would appreaciate if you can make video on how to clean and maintain the stylus pen because i have brought new stylus pen but I spray alcohol on the tip of the fiber mesh stylus pen unintentionaly while doing disinfections and it will no longer function unless I will make the tip wet again.

[@laylaallam1728]

I bought the meko stylus and it’s nice and all but sometimes it just STOPS WORKING it doesn’t need a battery or charging but IT JUST DOESNT WORK! The fiber part works fine all the time but it’s not as small and I like the disc side much better, SO WHY DOES IT STOP!! I actually scratched my screen trying to make it work! Does anyone else have this problem???? If you do, what causes it and how to you fix it because I tend to get really angry and impatient when things (especially electronics) stop working or are frustrating and that leads me to sometimes breaking them. I broke my laptop because it would shut down randomly and not work with things I needed to use on it, and I don’t want to break my phone or my stylus, I already scratched the screen I don’t want anymore to happen.

What's the deference between the disc stylus or charge one (normal tip) ? Differences on how it feel's like ? I'm looking everywhere and didn't find an answer

Disc tip is needed because tablets require a large contact point to detect the stylus or finger. There are pens with small tips but they only work on displays made to detect pens with small tips.
