hi guys,

ive had my w7 for a month now, so far liking everything about it but the weight. anyways, tht aside, i normally do a lot of annotation on previous tablets, was wondering whts the best stylus to use to annotate on w7.

im looking at buying adonit pro jot, but so far havent found it in the shops yet. will pop by machines or epicentre to get.

anyone here using tht?

just wondering if its worth buying cos i need a fine point stylus.

I found that stylus with a metal mesh tip (I think boxwave and other makes) works best.
Much better than normal rubber tips and skips less than a jot pro tip.

Which annotation or note programs do you use?

i use a free one , think its called pdf annotator. i browsed the boxwave site, didnt see a sharp point stylus...i hate using those rubbery stylus tips...too big to be accurate...

thts y only one i saw tht cld possibly work is the adonit ones

I bought another brand where the tip goes in to the barrel like a biro but here's the link for the boxwave one:

fiber mesh tip...much better than rubber and is actually accurate and not too broad.

The problem is the digitiser itself doesn't recognise very small writing.
I've tried adonit and the fiber mesh one worked best for me

interesting feedback...may i ask what's your main usage for the stylus? I normally have pdf files that i review, ie proof reading, circling words and commenting aka more like how a teacher goes thru exam papers. do you think this stylus would suit my usage style? cos my main issue with the broad rubber based tip ones, is that i find it hard to write like how i would with a pen.
