Add on shipping costs and you’ll be setting yourself back closer to $5.50, but that’s still a good six dollars cheaper than the AmazonBasics stylus, the next-cheapest entry. While the product is essentially a hollow aluminum tube with a pen clip and the Monoprice logo on it, it’s a pretty amazing value for under three dollars. The stylus is pretty poor for writing, because it has a short and squishy tip that compresses underneath you as you use it so the contact point with a screen is very difficult to infer. For everyday games of Draw Something or quick sketches, the Monoprice does a bang up job, but it feels like a piece of junk in your hand. The $2.97 Monoprice aluminum stylus is likely the cheapest stylus that’s still worth buying. The Bamboo’s going to cost you, though, checking in at just under $30. But ultimately, it’s the most precise and more importantly the most predictable stylus of the group. Like the rest of the rubber tips I tested, this one’s mushy and doesn’t provide the hardness I’m looking for from a writing utensil. Also, you can even remove the pocket clip if you want. The Bamboo’s smaller tip (which is removable, in case you need to replace it) makes it the second most agile of the rubber-tipped styli I tested â only the Kuel H10 managed to beat it in this department. The tip of the Bamboo, which is smaller in diameter than its peers, is the killer feature here. I just slightly prefer the Kensington’s height to weight ratio, but the Bamboo is close. The Bamboo is light enough to toss in a pocket, but heavy enough to feel substantial. It’s beautiful in a modern yet understated way, only taking what it needs from the conventional idea of a “pen.” For example, the shaft of the Bamboo is a touch girthier than a Bic pen, but it’s also about an inch or so shorter than a Bic. The Wacom Bamboo is highlighted by FiftyThree (the company behind Paper) in its website and video for a reason: it’s the best stylus you can buy for your iPad.
