BoxWave Skinny Capacitive Stylus for Acer Iconia Tab W700 - Acer Iconia Tab W700 Touch Screen Stylu

BoxWave Skinny Capacitive Stylus for Acer Iconia Tab W700 - Acer Iconia Tab W700 Touch Screen Stylus w/ Longer Barrel and Fine Tip PointI bought this stylus to use with an Acer W700 tablet and while it works, I don't really use it too much anymore. I was used to using my finger on the touchscreen but after buying MS Office and learning how to use OneNote, I wanted something more precise to write with than my finger.

At first I tried a stylus my mother was using with her iPad and while it worked okay for tapping on the screen, the tip was too soft to be precise when taking notes in OneNote (lowercase E's were very hard to write). After some searching here on Amazon I found this stylus made by Boxwave and decided to give it a try.

I was very eager to use it when it showed up but after some time I realized this wasn't the stylus for me. The tip is harder than the previous stylus and while it is more precise, it loses contact with the screen and my letter strokes have breaks in them (even when I press very firmly on the screen). Needless to say, this makes it very hard for OneNote to convert my writing to text. I tried cleaning the screen numerous times and always kept the tip pressed firmly to the screen but the skipping behavior continued.

The stylus looks very nice and includes a headphone adapter to keep it attached to your tablet or phone but my experience in OneNote keeps it firmly placed in my stylus holder 99% of the time. Much like the stylus I borrowed, it's great for tapping on the screen but writing is very hit or miss. Considering I bought it to write, I just can't recommend it for that purpose. My hunt for a good stylus continues so if you can make a recommendation, please leave a comment!
