How well does this stylus tip perform for tasks other than writing? I'm trying to find a responsive stylus great for drawing / sketching.

I use it for taking notes and it's very smooth. I have yet to find a stylus with a very thin tip that's made with this same material. I'm not an artist but I do draw sometimes with it and it works of me.

I am not much of a drawer, but the pen I have is a fine point and i like it a lot

I am not a professional artist by any means, but I like to sketch and compared to other styli (that have rubber-like tips but are not covered by some type of special fabric), this one works very well. I don't feel like I have to press so firmly on the screen. I haven't compared it to other styli that are specifically made for drawing/art, so I can't tell you about that, but I can say that my search for a really great stylus is over. Hope this helped!

I just submitted a review that goes into a lot more detail, but here's the short of it. I've found that, compared to other styli in the same price range, this stylus is excellent for note-taking. The tip is appreciably thinner and harder, to the point that even Penultimate is now better at palm rejection using this stylus. (I really don't feel the need to be a more expensive stylus for note-taking-- but that's just me.) For me, the problem is that there is too much friction for scrolling through webpages and documents, but this same friction makes it a lot easier for me to control the stylus and write neatly. I can even squeeze in tiny, written text when necessary. I just submitted a review that goes into a lot more detail, but here's the short of it.

The stylus I think is pretty decent for drawing, but the platform you're working on makes a huge difference too. If your tablet or whatever doesn't pick up the movements quickly enough, your drawings will look bad regardless of the quality of the stylus. So, I like it more than other styli I've tried for drawing, but my drawings still look like butt.

I use this stylus on my Samsung Galaxy 2. It works very well. Very responsive. I like the fiber mesh tip, much better than the rubber tipped ones I have used before.

Probably not. I ordered it thinking that I would be able to use it to draw, write, etc...on my regular tablet, however it didn't work. It is extremely hard and most tablets require a softer tip made of a heat sensitive material for the tablet to pick up the motions of the stylus.

This stylus can be used for every form of input typically done by a finger on the touchscreen. It would work for texting, probably pretty well if you use Swype. Would be a matter of getting used to holding a pen to type...But I think it may be with a try! :)

It's to write with. Like on paper. As for the stylus tip I don't cover it. There's no need to. But you might want to try a band aid on it. Lol. Hope this helps you out.

Yes, it is pressure sensitive, which is probably why the tips wear out so quickly. No experience with Android or Autodesk's Sketchbook.

I'm carrying a stylus in the little elastic tab thingy right now. It's *really* tight, though, so my regular fat stylus doesn't work. I've got another, thinner, pen/stylus combo device that slides right in. They can be had for $2 or so on the major online auction site we're not supposed to name.

It will work as a point stylus, but probably not for smooth drawing. Lines tend to break: if you are drawing something static, that might be okay, but if you want to move it you end up with a bunch of stubs that have to be moved as a set, and a shape would not be resizable.

I recently purchased these. I use them for note taking in Penultimate App and I like this tip better than the one that came with the stylus. It is a little bit harder (not as soft as the old one that came with the stylus) but I find it easier to write with, not sure about drawing.

The tip basically registers as a fingertip. Your iPad2 doesn't have the ability to discern different levels of pressure or the size of a finger. The stylus would basically act as a replacement for your finger. The upside here is that you would then have a much easier time seeing what your doing and a more realistic feel to your highlighting activity.If you are looking for a device that actually cares about stylus pressure and responds by increasing size, look into getting a Microsoft Surface 2 (Pro) or 3. Drawing or painting on those devices is about as realistic as it gets.

Hello. The only stylus I have available to me is the kind NOT for writing; it has the large rounded soft top which works well for just poking around on the screen. Just tried it out and that works, but I cannot say anything worthwhile about WRITING anything on the screen. Perhaps someone else may have experience with this? particularly with some better styli out there.

First, it's the best stylus I've ever used and I've bought them all. It's perfect for writing notes and, I'm sure, drawing. I use it for notes though. The disc allows it to move across the glass in a very smooth way...the point attached to the disc allows a very thin line to be drawn, if that's what you select in the software. It substitutes perfectly for a pen and...frankly...it really looks cool.

First - I am not an artist but like to draw and take notes at meetings. I do not find there to be lag. The stylus works great especially on the pressure sensitive drawings (shadowing etc.). I do however find that it takes some getting used to on the accuracy of where the line will be drawn. Once the style is on the tablet, very accurate. Final point, it is not like writing on paper. I font the stylus to be slippery so lines are hard to draw straight. I am told that a felt tip stylus is available and eliminates this issue but have yet to find one and buy. Hope this helps...

Not necessarily. It's a soft point tip that compresses on touch. Really the only tablet with high precision would be the note due to its calibrated own. But this is nice to simply use to navigate through Web pages etc. It does work slightly better than your finger, but not for writing due to the soft tip.

It does OK. It's the best stylus I've found and a the pen is handy, but like all stylus's (styli?) on the market, the tip is about the same diameter as the rest of it so while thin lines can be drawn (depending on your app, of course, where that line is might not be exactly where you wanted it because of the size of the tip.
