DS Daily: Stylus Bling

by Jason Wishnov { Jan 17th 2007 at 9:00AM }

The DS Phat's stylus was anemic. The DS Lite's stylus is serviceable. But is it good enough for you? We've seen quite a few people use far larger styluses, perhaps meant for a tablet laptop or giant ... touch-screen ... thingy. We've seen pimped out versions. We've seen accusatory gesture versions. Heck, we've even seen a few just use their fingers, provided the game doesn't require a high degree of accuracy. What do you guys use, and do you wish you had something better?

I use the Phoenix Wright stylus - the one released with Justice For All has an extra little nub at the end of the finger that makes it more accurate.

I use the PDA Panache DS Lite stylus seen here:

It was a bit expensive at $20 including shipping, but I like it.

I use a hori extendable one. One of them broke, the other one's great (I got two).

Nothin' wrong with the original Phat stylus! I've been using it since day one and haven't really felt the need for anything else!

Regarding the PDA Panache stylus... "Solid brass for maximum mass and stiffness."

Hur hur :P

I use the metal blue stylus that comes with the Pelican screen protectors.

Mostly because it matches my blue DS Phat.

Still use my Phat's stylus. It is a bit uncomfortable after a couple rounds of Elite Beat Agents, but I don't care.

I use the 'Vania stylus. Sweet, sweet plastic.

I've got a pen that has red and black ink, a mechanical pencil, and a PDA stylus all in the same tube. Much more comfortable than the stylus that comes with the Phat, and a bit more accurate, too, since it's got a finer point.

I thought all us hardcore gamers were using a cocktail stick these days. The sanitary way to tap, just use it and recycle it!
Actually, being one of smallish hands, the DS lite stylus is pretty sweet for my mits!

I use my Kirby pink DS stylus most of the time, but sometimes for EBA I use a thicker multicolored-pen-with-stylus deal that Hudson sent me.

We'll see if I can bring myself to touch(!) my Phoenix Wright stylus, or if I'll encase it in a solid lucite block immediately upon receipt.
