A stylus (pl.: styli or styluses[1]) is a writing utensil or a small tool for some other form of marking or shaping, for example, in pottery. It can also be a computer accessory that is used to assist in navigating or providing more precision when using touchscreens. It usually refers to a narrow elongated staff, similar to a modern ballpoint pen. Many styluses are heavily curved to be held more easily. Another widely used writing tool is the stylus used by blind users in conjunction with the slate for punching out the dots in Braille.[2]

The English word stylus has two plurals: styli and styluses.[3] The original Latin word was spelled stilus; the spelling stylus arose from an erroneous connection with Greek  (stylos), 'pillar'.[4]

The Latin word had several meanings, including "a long, sharply pointed piece of metal; the stem of a plant; a pointed instrument for incising letters; the stylus (as used in literary composition), 'pen'".[4] The last meaning is the origin of style in the literary sense. The Latin word is probably derived from the Indo-European root *stei- 'to prick', also found in the words stimulus 'a goad, stimulus' and instigare 'to incite, instigate'.[5]

Styluses were first used by the ancient Mesopotamians in order to write in cuneiform. They were mostly made of reeds and had a slightly curved trapezoidal section.[6][7][8] Egyptians (Middle Kingdom) and the Minoans of Crete (Linear A and Cretan Hieroglyphic) made styluses in various materials: reeds that grew on the sides of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and in marshes and down to Egypt where the Egyptians used styluses from sliced reeds with sharp points; bone and metal styluses were also used. Cuneiform was entirely based on the "wedge-shaped" mark that the end of a cut reed made when pushed into a clay tablet; from Latin cuneus 'wedge'. The linear writings of Crete in the first half of the second millennium BC which were made on clay tablets that were left to dry in the sun until they became "leather" hard before being incised by the stylus. The linear nature of the writing was also dictated by the use of the stylus.

In Western Europe styluses were widely used until the late Middle Ages. For learning purposes the stylus was gradually replaced by a writing slate. From the mid-14th century improved water-powered paper mills produced large and cheap quantities of paper and the wax tablet and stylus disappeared completely from daily life.

Modern day devices, such as phones, can often be used with a stylus to accurately navigate through menus, send messages etc. Today, the term stylus often refers to an input tool usually used with touchscreen-enabled devices, such as Tablet PCs, to accurately navigate interface elements, send messages, etc. This also prevents smearing the screen with oils from one's fingers. Styluses may also be used for handwriting, or for drawing using graphics tablets.

A passive or capacitive stylus is a stylus that acts just like a finger when touching a device screen. There is no electronic communication between a passive stylus and a device, and the device treats the stylus the same as a finger. Passive styluses are considered less accurate than active styluses.

An active stylus includes electronic components that communicate with a device's touchscreen controller, or digitizer. Active pens are typically used for note taking, on-screen drawing/painting, and electronic document annotation. They help prevent the problem of one's fingers or hands accidentally contacting the screen.

Since many modern tablets make use of multi-touch recognition, some stylus and app manufactures have created palm rejection technologies into their products. This works to turn off the multi-touch feature allowing the palm to rest on the tablet while still recognizing the stylus.

Other than the types above, a haptic stylus is a stylus that simulates, through haptic technology, realistic physical sensations which can be felt while writing on paper. The sensation is sometimes enhanced by the combination of auditory and tactile illusions, such as with RealPen.[9]

A stylus is also an instrument used to scribe a recording into smoked foil or glass. In various scientific instruments this method may be employed instead of a pen for recording as it has the advantage of being able to operate over a wide temperature range, does not clog or dry prematurely, and has nearly negligible friction in comparison to other methods. These characteristics were useful in certain types of early seismographs and in recording barographs that were once used to verify sailplane records. The styluses used in scanning tunneling microscopes have only a single atom at the tip; these are effectively the sharpest styluses possible.

I'm looking to type notes on keyboard from my desktop and draw figures using the Pen/Highlighter/Marker feature on OneNote desktop using a stylus and drawing pad. I'd like to see the made on either end (either desktop or drawing pad) reflected on the other end.

The tablet detects the stylus before it touches the surface of the tablet. Did any of you have similar experiences? I already had this problem once, but I can't remember how I fixed it. I think I just restarted it dozens times and then it worked properly. Have any of you a better solution / a clue why this is happening?

I have a boox note pro. Why does the handwriting on boox look like a caricature drawn by a 3-year-old kid? When I wrote on galaxy note tablet or ipad, I had a totally different experience. Is there any app or setting that can help improve the handwriting?

@claire: Here I attach some samples from the blurred/pixelated annotations with the pen.

For comparison, I add the same from a competing product (which has many other issues ;-)) where this problem does not exist.

Onyx is always the upper one in the pictures on a Note Pro with 2.1.2.

In one of the pictures I have also selected some writing for you to see the difference between the two types of saving annotations. Onyx seems to save them as individual small lines while the other as objects.

Digitally write & draw naturally with the Baseus Smooth Writing 2 stylus pen, the best ipad pencil alternative. Its fine pen tip provides pinpoint precision, while palm rejection prevents stray marks. Powered stylus mimics pen on paper for a fluent, lag-free flow. Perfect for digital design, note-taking & artistry, snap onto iPad's side magnetically when done.

I have an HP Laptop (Spectre X360 to be exact, from late 2015) with Windows 10 64-bit installed and a resistive stylus that is specifically made for that series of laptops.Normally, if the tip of the stylus is brought closer to the screen, it acts as a cursor. In order to create input with it, one needs to touch it to the screen and apply some amount of pressure.

The problem is that from time to time, I get this weird problem with the stylus where it creates input without touching the screen whatsoever. I just hold it static without touching the screen (of course still close enough so the screen detects it) and it creates random lines, as if someone is shaking the pen superhumanly fast. In the video, you can see exactly what I am talking about -

This stylus came with no drivers or any kind of installation media.So far, I have tried to "uninstall" the device from the device manager and restart the computer hoping it would fix it, none of which worked.Interestingly enough, if I lock the computer with Win+L combination, it behaves normally there. So, at this point I am fairly positive that it is a software-related issue. But I have no software that could remotely be interfering with the stylus operation whatsoever. My touchscreen is also disabled and even if it didn't it should not be interfering with the stylus anyway since they work on different principles.

Am I right in assuming that there must be a certain folder somewhere that has files controlling stylus behaviour. My interaction with HP Tech Support was egregious as they stated firmly that there is no such folder, some agents even went so far as to claim that some device my neighbours may be using could interfere with the stylus.

For now the only option I have when this problem occurs is to reset windows apps and settings to defaul while keeping personal files. This means that I lose all the registries and the software that has to be installed to the C: driveWhen I do reset Windows without deleting apps and settings, the problem persists. So far, a few times I reset Windows including the apps and settings the problem seems to be gone.All of which to me suggests that this is not a problem with the stylus itself (as HP tech support would have liked me to believe)

I created a new local user account and tried the stylus behaviour there. Interestingly, inside OneNote it behaves normally, but outside of it it goes berserk again. It seems the pen "chooses" to "misbehave"s on certain settings...So far that I have tried, there are a few "mediums" that pen starts acting normally. On the lock/welcome screen and the "Sticky Notes" app that comes with Windows 10.

In short, I am hoping to find the folder that contains files affecting stylus performance and reset that specifically instead of the whole system. Uninstalling the "HID Compliant Pen" with the "Device Manager" and restarting didn't help so far.

Nick Guy has been using and reviewing iPad styluses for a decade, first using the early Ten One Pogo stylus when working in Apple retail and then covering dozens more as an accessories editor and author of several iterations of this guide.

For previous versions of this guide, we interviewed graphic designer Dan Bransfield, and designer Mike West helped us test styluses. For the more recent updates, we did speed, handwriting, and precision tests. Writer Serenity Caldwell interviewed pixel artist Rich Stevens, cartoonist Danielle Corsetto, and illustrator Mike Thompson, who have decades of collective experience working in print and online, and asked them to personally test our top picks. ff782bc1db
