Best Stylus Pens for Touchscreens in the UK

Having looked through the stylus connection and shapes, we couldn't help but notice its stand-alone and accuracy properties. Think about it: Adonit Snap has one of the thinnest tips among similar devices, mere 1.9mm, making you feel like you're writing and drawing on your phone's screen. As for charging the stylus, you can easily do it by connecting your pen to a USB inlet via micro USB cable you will find in the package. It doesn't take more than an hour to charge it up, whereas the working cycle is 7 hours, and that's a really high figure considering the small size of the stylus. The Adonit Snap's body is made of aluminium with some stainless steel elements, making it able to withstand physical pressure. The body has the power and synchronisation buttons and a green LED that shows when the device is working. As you can see, it is definitely well-thought-out.

Since your stylus has a battery, you should think about the way you can quickly charge it up, and that's when the power bank comes in handy. You can read about the best models in our review.

Regardless of the great look and balance of this stylus, users are mainly focused on the practical usability and tasks that can be accomplished using this device. We find it right since not every stylus suits any kind of task the same way. Talking about Adonit Jot Pro, this model is, so far, the best solution for everyday notes and sketches. Mainly, it is thanks to the incredibly thin tip. This stylus uses a transparent disc that touches the screen right where you put the nib for more accuracy. But don't worry, the disk won't hinder the process, this pen is smooth and soft in action, making nearly no noise when hitting the screen since there is a damper that softens the pressure. The same transparent disc lets you draw while holding the pen at an angle. Get this ultimate precision stylus for your iPad, iPhone, Android, or Windows device with a touchscreen.

If you want to make notes like you do with an analogue pen but with an opportunity to make digital copies, you definitely need a digital pen. The main advantage of a digital pen is that you can use writing as an input method. Even if you use your pen without your computer, the notes you make are saved to the built-in memory. Special applications are used to read the memory, allowing you to manage the data in various apps or as computer images. You can find the best digital pens in our review.

When buying a stylus, we are used to getting only a couple extra tips in the package. Bargains Depot is more generous than that. Buying two pens in a bundle package (which is a significant benefit considering the modest price compared to other manufacturers), you also get six extra 4.5mm nibs and four 6mm ones. And it's not a plastic pen you receive, too! This construction is made of stainless steel and aluminium, ensuring a long life. This truly versatile 2-in-1 stylus can be effectively used no matter the device or task.

It is highly unrecommended (and usually punished by the police) to actively use gadgets when you drive, especially gadgets with touch screens where you can apply a stylus. Your hands must be on the wheel and car controls and your eyes on the road at all times lest you can get into an accident. However, we often use our smartphones and tablets as GPS to navigate the streets. If this is true for you, we recommend you to invest in a car phone or tablet holder.

As we've said previously, this stylus is compatible with nearly any device that has a capacitive touchscreen. Notably, it is not the end to its versatility. It is compatible with numerous apps like Adobe Reader, Autodesk Sketchbook, Clibe, Angry Birds, and Bamboo Paper. We would like to highlight the Bamboo Paper — an authentic application by Wacom (available for iOS, Android, and Windows). It lets you easily turn your tablet into a notebook to write down your new ideas whenever and wherever you want. The Inkspace software is an extra advantage which synchronises you notes with Wacom Cloud, where you get free 5 GB of cloud memory with an option to expand it to 50 GB if you purchase premium membership. This function lets you look through your drawing and notes, or share them via the Inkspace portal using any Internet browser. Use the advantages of the stylus with many apps that help you not only express your identity but personalise your work.

If you're a graphic designer and want to create professional images on your computer, the closest digital option to drawing on paper is a quality drawing tablet. You are welcome to look at the best models in our review.

The MEKO 2-in-1 Precision Series Disc Stylus/Styli is compatible with devices like Apple iPad 1 and 2, iPhone, iPod, Kindle Fire, Kindle Touch, Motorola Xoom Tablet, Galaxy, and Blackberry Playbook Virtuoso Touch. Thus, it seems that this stylus is generally universal and works with different operating systems effectively. This stylus is shaped like a normal pen which lets you get used to it and conveniently work with it for hours. This handiness is determined by its size: 140mm long, 9mm in diameter, and weighs 24g.

What makes it distinct from the competitors, is the package bundle, including two stylus pens at a time with protective metal caps that let you carry and store them securely, protecting from the external hazards. Also, you get four extra nibs with transparent discs and two fibre tips. It has a positive impact on your effectiveness because you can easily go for a suitable nib to change, and it also prolongs the life span. A big number of tips prevents you from buying extra ones if they wear out. The body of the stylus is made of aluminium alloy with stainless steel elements, making it durable. Notably, the rubber covering near the tip is made for a better grip.
