AmazonBasics has quickly become a 'brand' I trust. Between the various cables, cards, and occasional computer accessory that I've used from them, they just provide an excellent value. Great products at great prices.
This stylus is no exception. It's simple, effective, and convenient. I am very happy with my purchase; something I wish I could say more often.
It works. It works well. It works on just about everything I've tried it on. It works on my Kindle Touch (saving it from a greasy-fingerprinted fate). It works on my smartphone (saving me the frustration of somehow hitting four buttons at once with the tip of my deceptively clumsy finger). It even works with those sorry P.o.S. card scanners at the grocery store where you have to attempt to sign your name without looking like you did it with your foot. It works on every touch device I've tried -- with precision that I could not get with my fingers or lesser styli.
It's convenient. Being just a bit shorter than a cheap-o ball point pen, and about the same diameter, it goes easily into and out of a pocket. It also feels familiarly comfortable in the hand. [For reference, I've got fairly big hands and the size is sufficient to hold onto; I'd even say perfect, as it's only as long as it needs to be. I wish they made pens *this* size, instead of longer -- this stylus never stabs me in the groin when I sit down with it in my pocket.] Carrying it with you is easy enough, and it's dimensions allow you to swipe a cap off of an old pen to protect the tip with no fear of damaging it in your pocket/purse.
It's well-built. The stylus is solid. I have no fear of buckling the shaft or losing parts. After two months of carrying it around unprotected in my pockets with my keys it has no chips, no scratches, no problems. I am impressed. I was initially worried about the little rubber tip, but it seems surprisingly resilient (though I've not gone out of my way to damage it, either). Now that I keep a cap on it, it's virtually indestructible under 'normal pocket conditions'. I did end up taking the little lanyard off of it, because I would always accidentally pull the stylus out of my pocket when fishing for my keys... So I put the lanyard on my keys and can always get them easily now. It's like I got a little bonus item with my stylus. =)
It's a great value. Honestly, I didn't think I'd get this much use out of a stylus. I mean, I've got fingers! All the time! I don't *need* a stylus, right? Well, let me put it this way: I felt pretty dumb the other day when I went searching through my pockets for this little guy, didn't find it, got up, walked downstairs, searched yesterday's pants, found it, walked all the way back up stairs, picked up my Kindle... and then I realized that I am apparently becoming an idiot. This stylus has become the primary form of interaction with touch screens for me. I never really used 'em much before, but now I'm lost without it. And you know what? It was less than 10 bucks. I can't think of many things that I use so often (and am so happy with) for just 10 bucks. And I can use it with pretty much all of my devices. This thing was made for a specific purpose, and it works beautifully for that purpose. I don't think that's too much to ask, but it's pretty uncommon these days.
I wish more of my purchases ended up being this satisfying.
