Kensington Virtuoso Touch Screen Stylus and Pen for 2nd Generation Apple iPad 2 and Apple iPad 1/ Apple iPhone / Motorola Xoom Tablet / Samsung Galaxy / Blackberry Playbook (Gunmetal)
Review by Seth Kaplan "Superfly" : best stylus with pen

See my other review here: PenGo Touchpen iPad Stylus

Basically there are two types of stylus heads - large and small. Of the large style, this one is my favorite (and I have many different styluses) and has a decent pen to boot. The pen itself can be replaced with something better if you like. It looks like a standard Parker or something inside.

Review by R Lopez : There should be a 6 STAR rating!!!

This is the 5th type iPad stylus I have owned.

The Targus, bought at my local Best Buy was satisfactory and did the job. I bought it because that was the only product Best Buy carried. Dog chewed off the tip. $20 down my dogs gullet.

Next I bought three FOAM tip Pogo's. They were very cheap (and inexpensive). Very awkward to use. Required way too much pressure to work which ran the risk of knocking the foam tip off. Back off on the pressure to avoid knocking the foam tip off and the stylus did not write. Returned for refund.

Next I bought two styles of ACase with a rubber tip (one standard stylus and one stylus/pen combo). Same order. Liked the standard ACase, LOVED the stylus/pen combo. Both ACase models were MORE than Satisfactory. I rated the standard ACase 4 STARS and the ACASE stylus/pen combo, 5 STARS. Both excellent products. Dog chewed another rubber tip off. Thankfully not the stylus/pen combo. Chew up my stylus once, shame on you. Chew up my stylus twice, shame on me.

RECEIVED THIS KENSINGTON IN THE MAIL TODAY. AS THE TITLE READS, THERE SHOULD BE A 6 STAR RATING. THIS STYLUS IS AWESOME. HAS GOOD WEIGHT TO IT. APPROXIMATELY 1/2 LONGER THEN OTHER STYLUS' (SP) (although the extra length is only in the cap). SO I PUT IT TO THE TEST. THIS KENSINGTON ALSO HAS A RUBBER TIP BUT IT IS A BIT MORE FIRM. NOT AS "CUSHIONY" AS ANY OF THE OTHERS I HAVE OWNED. THIS GIVES IT MORE OF A 'PEN TO PAPER' FEEL WHEN IN USE. AS FOR ACCURACY, IT IS IN A CLASS BY ITSELF. I SCRIBBLED AS FAST AS I COULD SCRIBBLE ON MY IPAD JUST TO SEE IF I COULD MAKE THE IPAD TO LOSE THE TRAIL..., IT NEVER DID!!!! THIS IS ALSO A STYLUS/PEN COMBO WHICH I HAPPEN TO BELIEVE THEY ALL SHOULD BE. USES PARKER PEN REFILLS WHICH I PERSONALLY LOVE. The one that comes preinstalled is cheap, just replace it with an authorized PARKER Gel Ink Refill for a smooth writing experience coming out of both ends. :)

YOU WILL PAY ABOUT $4 MORE FOR THIS STYLUS BUT THAT $4 WILL SAVE YOU A TON OF REGRET.

DO IT.

CLICK ON 'ADD TO CART"

YOU WILL THANK ME.

PS - Keep it away from your dogs.

PSS - There are two improvements Kensington should make on future models but they will have to pay me for those ideas. :)

Review by Gabriel : Superb!

I've owned this stylus for about three months and love it! It has a small precise tip that works well with a writing iPad app like Penultimate. In my opinion, it's much better than the Box Wave Capacitive and Targus stylus' I have owned. I love the fact that it works as a pen and as a stylus. It's about the length of a pen and makes for easy writing on a tablet computer like the iPad. In short, it's superb so far!
