Question Styli

What is/are your favorite styli/stylus? I personally got the Sylus 5 pack as I like my stylus to sit in my silo and the reset pin is convenient. Plus you never know when you'll need a screwdriver .

Edit: In the poll 0 means your still using the original stylus your Visor came with.

I polled as having gone through 2, not including the stylus that came with my VPL. I have one that I don't remember what the name of it was but it has 3 functions. I decide to get a new stylus because the one I had didn't fit into the pen holder on my Grinder Gear Expedition. So I got a Stylus+ 4-function pen.

I'm on my second 5-pack. Some I gave away, some I just lost. The pen I really want is this one

I agree, the stylus living in the silo is more convenient when you need your PDA to be easily mobile. But in meetings where one needs to alternate quickly between writing on paper (still faster for most users than graffiti) and data entry into the PDA, the multi-tip stylus is a great solution.

I'm looking for the pentopia chamilion, but can't find it for a price that says "I know you're using your third stylus already, but I'm better!"

im using a pen a friend's dad gave me who works at a hospital. its from Allegra and on it it says: allegra
fexofenadine HCI

it has a black, red, o.5mm pencil, and stylus. i keep it in my pocket always along with a stylus in my visor.

heres a tip for an emergency and your visor resets but you dont have a pin nearby. find a flat headed pin, then tape it to the back of your battery cover(sorry rechargeable people)then if you need it just slide it out of the tape and slide it back in when your done. this comes in handy if your visor resets by itself if a reset is needed(like me), and your visor fro some reason goes into debug mode everytime you reset(like me ) and you need to reset again to get out.

The stylus that comes with your visor has a reset pin just unscrew the stylus tip and boom.

A small paperclip would be easier, and wouldn't have a pointy end. and, unlike a pin with the head at a 90-degree angle to the shaft, it's completely flat.
this of course assuming you don't have or aren't using the "stock" stylus
